Connex Technologies
<http://www.connextechnology.com/index.asp> 


Connex Technology has developed groundbreaking disruptive technology
enabling exciting new capabilities in digital signal processing. By
delivering a programmable video platform (PVP), its technology will allow
OEM's to achieve high-performance processing without sacrificing power
efficiency, similar to current ASIC implementations, It's PVP technology is
capable of decoding, encoding and transcoding the most demanding compression
standards today or in the future, such as H.264 and WM9. Imagine a single
platform capable of this in High Definition and you have a ConnexArrayT
based platform. Its unique, linearly scalable architecture is capable of
processing high definition resolutions of 1080 progressive and beyond. As a
programmable platform ConnexArrayT further provides OEM's the capability for
differentiation in the design and production of consumer, professional and
industrial digital signal processing, as well as preserving their
intellectual property.

multimedia.

dicas is a winner of the Innovation Prize 1999 For Multimedia Technology
granted by the German Ministry of Economy (BMWi) and the German Association
of Engineers (VDI/VDE).

dicas is a member of the  <http://www.mpegif.org> MPEG Industry Forum and a
supporter of the  <http://www.avc-alliance.org> AVC Alliance.

Our competence is MPEG-based video coding technology with a specific focus
on MPEG-4 AVC/H.264, MPEG-4 and 3GPP. Our founding engineers have each
gained many years of extensive expertise in R&D on MPEG-4, also through
working with and for the Heinrich-Hertz-Institute in Berlin. Our early
adopted know-how takes us to the lead of the technological development and
allows us to guarantee for state-of-the-art knowledge in this area of
software technology.

Our solution is a high-quality MPEG-4 real-time video codec mpegable. A
purely software-based encoding / decoding component, mpegable is on the
forefront of the worldwide development in terms of compression quality and
features implementation.

Envivio


Envivio is the leader in IP video convergence solutions using MPEG-4
technology to make IP video a reality over any type of network and to any
multimedia device - from 3G to xDSL and from mobile TV to HDTV. Supporting a
wide range of network protocols, resolutions, bit rates and devices, Envivio
is the only company to offer IP video convergence solutions that deliver
industry leading AVC/H.264 compressed video quality at the lowest bit rate
for mobile TV, IPTV, Internet TV and broadcast services. Telcos, ISPs,
broadcasters, cable operators and enterprises worldwide can use Envivio
solutions to reduce their operational costs while offering subscribers
compelling video services anytime and anywhere. 

As service providers expand their offerings, maximizing bandwidth usage is
critical to their success. The increasing demand for video services over
limited bandwidth positions MPEG-4 technology in the right place at the
right time. Consumers expect high quality and a myriad of choices. Telcos,
ISPs, broadcasters, cable operators and enterprises worldwide can use
Envivio MPEG-4 systems to efficiently deliver next generation video services
over their existing networks. Whether a provider is delivering video to a
mobile device, an HD television program to a subscriber's home or business
content to a desktop, they need a technology that will allow them to
increase service offerings and quality over time. MPEG-4 is that technology
and Envivio is the company to deliver on that technology's promise.

Euclid Discoveries

Euclid Discoveries ("the company") is a privately held software development
firm based in Concord, MA. The company was founded in 1999, and over the
past seven years has focused on developing a new way to process and compress
video images. Euclid brought together mathematical approaches from several
fields to create a technology that analyzes patterns and objects within
video. This technology, called EuclidVisionT, has achieved compression
ratios of 15,168 to 1. EuclidVision greatly exceeds the state of the art,
with a 460% improvement over MPEG-4 for certain videos, with no drop off in
quality. This technology will ultimately let users watch high-definition,
full-length movies on the same cell phones and PDAs they use right now.

Euclid Discoveries has also developed a rigorous testing environment,
EuclidStudioT, to evaluate video compression and quality for MPEG-4 and
other compression technologies. EuclidStudio allows the company to
demonstrate the compression capabilities of the software - showing a "before
and after" in terms of size - while simultaneously letting users go
frame-by-frame to see that picture quality remains excellent.

EuclidStudio has been made available to video experts all over the world
through the company's website, and there have been thousands of downloads so
far.
