RE: [MPEGIF News] News Digest Returns

All,
 
this has been an interesting exchange of emails, pointing out that there are
many AVC products, either deployed or on the market, and providing relevant
background information to the latest News Digest. I would now like the move
the discussion to the Discuss list, to make sure that the News list remains
what we promised to its subscribers: a low-traffic high-information density
mailing list. 
 
Best,
Rob
 
ps: I think we tackled the problem with the over-aggressive and deceptive
spam filter causing mutliple copies of posts, but if you still receive
multiple copies, then please let me know.

Hello,

 

To add to the confusion on who has the first h264 live encoder, we have
announced and released h264 Main profile, level 3 systems at IBC last year.
Please see our September 03 releases at:

 

http://www.envivio.com/news/index.html

 

These systems have been shipping and deployed since then in many broadcast
applications. None of them have been publicly announced, as some customers
prefer to keep confidentiality.

 

Envivio has available today not only live encoders, but also offline
encoders for VOD, servers for VOD, professional playout appliances, and PC
players as well. 

 

I think it is important to note as well that, as far as I am aware, video
conferencing uses baseline profile. Our broadcast quality encoder and
decoders use main profile level 3. 

 

And yes Rob, we will add our press releases to the M4IF web site in the
future!

 

Regards,

 

Julien Signes

President 

Envivio

Gary,

 

Thanks for your comments. I talked to Harmonic and they really see this as
an AVC deployment, even though this may arguably be unclear from their
release.

I know about H.264 being introduced in the videoconferencing space - but I
hadn't come across any press releases myself yet. Credit where credit is due
though:

Tandberg H.264-enables all products [NetworkWorldFusion, Oct 03]

Polycom VSXT 7000: H.264 So Hot It's Cool, Audio So Cool It's Hot
[ConferencingBuyer, Oct 03] 

If anyone know any other products or news relevant to MPEGIF's News Digest,
then please let me know or register the news or your press release yourself:
http://www.m4if.org/news/newsregister.php so that it will be listed on teh
MPEGIF home page and in the weekly digest.

 

Best Regards,

 

Rob

 

ps: aggressive spam filters have caused many you to get multiple copies of
the (filtered) Digest again, we have put on emergency moderation and will
now remove the email addresses causing this.
