Tandberg Television Advances Video Compression
March 08, 2004
Orlando, FL - Tandberg Television will launch a number of new products at NAB 2004, including the Intelligent Compression Engine (ICE), a new platform for MPEG-4 part 10 and Windows Media 9 Series.
This advanced video compression platform will be launched alongside new products that enable HDTV, maximize the performance of MPEG-2, provide flexible professional receiver systems and deliver effective control and monitoring, the manufacturer describes.
The Intelligent Compression Engine (ICE) is a powerful and sophisticated video and audio compression platform that provides a flexible and upgradeable solution for high quality implementations of Windows Media 9 Series and MPEG-4 part 10 (H.264/AVC) technologies. The ICE card is included in TANDBERG's new EN5930 MPEG-4 part 10 advanced video encoder, which will be launched at NAB and the company's EN5920, the world's first dedicated hardware platform for Windows Media 9. It can also be inserted into the E5710 MPEG-2 encoder to enable customers to move to either Windows Media 9 Video and Audio or MPEG-4 part 10 by upgrading existing equipment.
A High Definition version of ICE is also being developed to enable conversion of MPEG-2 HD encoders to support the new advanced encoding techniques. Moreover, should the requirement arise, users can also switch between MPEG-4 part 10 and Windows Media 9 Series with a simple software
change.
