CES2013: Euclid Discoveries announces video compression technology advancements.
Euclid Discoveries announces that its EuclidVision
video compression technology is now playable in any media player with a
standard H.264 decoder.
With today's announcement, the company is able to provide
EuclidVision video compression on H.264 codecs, which is the present
state of the art for media players.
"This is an exciting development in
the commercialization of our technology," says Richard Wingard,
Euclid CEO. "We now have the ability to enable part of our technology
in today's encoding process, and to demonstrate compression and quality
gains to media players with standard H.264 decoders. While this was not
our primary objective, this new development allows current video
processing technology to take advantage of some of EuclidVision's
advanced model-based techniques."
Initial testing results for this deployment have demonstrated
bandwidth reductions of 5-20% for high motion, high complexity HD
videos, the type of videos where EuclidVision's advanced model-based
techniques perform best. Another benefit of the EuclidVision technology
is its ability to improve visual quality of high motion, high
complexity videos without increasing bandwidth consumption. The company
is continuing to work on ways to deliver additional bandwidth
reductions and visual quality improvements in this environment.
In the months to come, Euclid will continue to improve its
H.264-based compression technology while also integrating EuclidVision
algorithms within MPEG-2 and HEVC (H.265) compliant streams. Together,
this suite of capabilities will enable EuclidVision to enhance the video
experience of users over a wide variety of devices and applications.
The company is actively pursuing potential partners who can
commercially benefit from these extended capabilities, and will be
demonstrating its capabilities during the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, January 8-10, 2013.
About Euclid Discoveries:
Euclid Discoveries is a
video technology development company focused on the delivery of HD video
over constrained networks. For the past 12 years Euclid has been
tackling this challenge and has invented an innovative technology that
delivers significant benefits in video distribution.
The company's patented technology utilizes object modeling to deliver
improved video compression with no loss of visual quality. Until now,
the company's technology has been operating exclusively on a proprietary
codec. During the course of the company's research and development, it
was discovered that certain components of the technology could operate
entirely within the H.264 environment, delivering compression and video
quality enhancements.
