SNELL AND WILCOX NEW DIGITAL VIDEO PLATFORM
SNELL and Wilcox have announced the development of the world's first end-to-end optimised digital video platform, produced in partnership with US company Equator Technologies.
Professor David Youlton, Chairman of Snell & Wilcox, said: "We've brought our experience in broadcast-quality video processing to broadband media delivery. Our technology, coupled with Equator's MAP-CA processor in the set-top box, allows us to deliver for the first time a video experience superior to VHS at sub-megabit bandwidths."
The new platform will allow broadband system operators to provide customers with quality video at 800 kilobits, half the bandwidth of fixed-function solutions. In addition, DSL system operators will be able to offer quality video over real-world links.
Snell & Wilcox are specialists in the design and manufacture of digital image processing products for television broadcast, post production and new media applications.
