Broadcast International Reports Canadian Patent Nod
BCST | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Broadcast International (BI) announced that the patent for its core CodecSys video compression technology has been allowed by the Canadian patent office.
The technology embodies the company's video compression software, which reduces bandwidth requirements for video transmitted over satellite, cable, IP, and wireless media. CodecSys allows, for example, up to 12 HDTV channels to be broadcast over the same network that currently has the capacity to support only two HDTV channels
The Canadian patent allowance builds the global acceptance base of the original 2007 patent that was granted for the core CodecSys video compression technology in the U.S. This technology enables multiple expert codecs (used in the compression of video signals for transmission) to be used to minimize the bandwidth required to transmit video over bandwidth-constrained networks such as the Internet.
"Canada provides another productive marketplace in the growth of the CodecSys ecosystem," said Rod Tiede, President and CEO of Broadcast International. "The addition of Canada builds on our global footprint, and includes other countries such as Mexico, South Korea, Russia, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, India and Taiwan that have issued patents that together protect the core capabilities that make our video compression capability a true breakthrough."
