Envivio Intros Encoder

SAN FRANCISCO -- Envivio Inc. will introduce the newest member of its 4Caster(TM) Broadcast Series real time MPEG-4 encoders at IBC2005 in its stand #1.351. Ideal for applications from contribution to distribution, the 4Caster B3 encoder delivers the most complete implementation of MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 compression techniques available in hardware today.

"The B3 encoder is the fourth generation of MPEG-4 encoders from Envivio. Combining over eight years of research and development in video compression with the experience of deploying systems for broadcast, mobile, enterprise and IPTV applications, Envivio is launching the most advanced MPEG-4 encoder to date," said Julien Signes, President and CTO of Envivio Inc. "Its implementation of the AVC/H.264 toolkit is unequaled, making the B3 perfect for any application where the last mile bit rate is critical such as broadcast and IPTV. Service providers can now leverage the power of the B3 encoder to deploy IPTV at under 2 Mbps per video stream. We invite everyone to visit our IBC stand to see the quality and range of features of our new flagship encoder."

4Caster B3's Advanced Pre-Processing Features Deliver Superior Picture Quality

The B3's all-new, hardware platform combined with superior encoding algorithms offers broadcasters and IPTV service providers greater processing power for advanced compression capabilities and noise reduction for bandwidth constrained applications. Increased bandwidth efficiency combined with high quality video in lower bit rates, allows operators to expand service offerings while optimizing throughput over their distribution networks.
