Powering MPEG-4 Applications from Mobile to HD

Envivio Inc. is the leading provider of MPEG-4 (including AVC / H.264) systems that power innovative services for revenue generating and bandwidth saving applications.

IPTV, mobile, broadcast, and enterprise service providers using Envivio systems can reduce their operational costs and increase the efficiency of their existing infrastructure by offering the highest quality video services at the lowest possible bit rates.  

Open Systems for the Delivery of Digital Video Services

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. Broadcasters, enterprises and telcos can use Envivio MPEG-4 systems to efficiently deliver advanced video services over their existing networks. Whether a provider is delivering broadcast video to a mobile device, educational or business content to a desktop or an HD television program to a subscriber's home, 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.

Envivio Systems and Solutions for Broadcast, IPTV, Mobile and Enterprise Service Providers

Based on the most advanced MPEG-4 platform ever developed, Envivio’s systems and solutions address four principal markets by taking advantage of MPEG-4’s advances in video compression and interactive technology for IPTV, mobile, broadcast and enterprise.

Broadcast Video Transport for Contribution and Distribution Applications

Envivio’s Broadcast Series of MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 encoders are ideal for contribution and distribution applications.  Standard definition (SD) and high definition (HD) real time systems offer significant reductions in bit rate to deliver industry leading live broadcast quality video at full resolution and frame rate.  The systems feature specific algorithms developed and refined by Envivio to support real time encoding as well as store and forward capabilities.  The advanced implementation of the AVC/H.264 video compression algorithms allows service providers to deliver optimal video quality at bit rates twice as low as existing compression technologies.  Applications that can benefit from these encoding systems include digital news gathering (DNG), video archiving, digital dailies, live broadcasting, video on demand (VOD), pay per view, and other services delivered via cable, IPTV, mobile, satellite, or terrestrial networks.

The 4Caster B3 is Envivio’s fourth generation standard definition real time compression system and flagship product.

The 4Caster HD3, Envivio’s live HD encoding system, is capable of compressing broadcast feeds in real time at less than 6 Mbps.  

IPTV - Complete Triple Play Solutions for AVC/H.264 Television with Interactive MPEG-4 Middleware Portal

The open standards-based Envivio encoders, middleware and decoders combine to power IP applications for live television, video-on-demand (VOD) and voice services. Integrated triple play Envivio solutions optimize network bandwidth while providing high quality interactive services.

Envivio is an active member of the IPlay3 consortium that merges the market-leading technologies from Envivio, NetCentrex, and Highdeal into flexible and cost-effective triple-play solutions.

Operators can select from the complete line of Envivio products or mix and match systems from other open standards-based vendors.

Mobile - Video Encoding Systems Optimized for Mobile Broadcast Services

Envivio encoders’ optimized processing produces very low bit rate video that's ideal for mobile operators wanting to enrich their services beyond voice to offer digital television and on-demand video, and for broadcasters wanting to repurpose content to address these new markets.

The 4Caster™ Mobile Series of real time MPEG-4 encoders optimally distributes audio and video to mobile phone and mobile television subscribers.

Enterprise - Video Services for Corporate Communications over IP

The Envivio Enterprise Series of encoders can be used to deliver broadcast quality video services within a private IP network. A combination of Envivio encoders, video servers and navigation software create an on-screen guide.
The Mindshare™ Presentation system can be used for a variety of enterprise applications, such as corporate communications, training and distance learning.
