Envivio, a technology provider of IP video convergence encoding solutions from mobile to HD, has announced that the performance of its 4Caster M2 mobile TV encoder is to be 'enhanced significantly' with the addition of Extreme Compression.
As an encoding platform for Mobile TV, the 25 percent increase in performance made possible using Extreme Compression on the 4Caster M2 will have a 'profound impact' on the quality of mobile broadcast and 3G mobile streaming services around the world, claims the company. Operators with both new and existing H.264 based Mobile TV deployments which use the 4Caster M2 will be able to provide subscribers with a 'dramatically enriched quality of experience', it is claimed.
"Our in-house codec development team has worked incredibly hard to improve upon the already outstanding performance of the M2 encoder and we are very excited about the results. By liaising closely with the world's mobile handset vendors and the network operators we have as customers, Envivio has been able to develop an even more efficient mobile TV compression implementation that delivers a truly stunning end user experience on mobile devices that have been designed specifically for multimedia playback." – Eric Rosier, Vice President of Engineering at Envivio.
