InterDigital Breaks New Ground in 4K Content Streaming With Successful Perceptual Pre-Filter Demo
March 06 2014 - 8:00AM
InterDigital, Inc. (Nasdaq:IDCC), a wireless research and
development company, today announced the successful demonstration
of its Perceptual Pre-Filter solution for video delivery systems.
The system, which was demonstrated, last week at Mobile World
Congress in Barcelona, Spain, represents a ground-breaking
innovation in bandwidth reduction for streaming video: during the
demonstration, the system delivered up to 40% bitrate reduction in
streaming of 4K resolution content, without sacrificing quality.
"4K is here, as we've seen major content publishers make
commitments to deliver content this year. That means that the
challenge of delivering the content with an excellent user
experience must be addressed promptly," said Bill Crean, Director
of Product Management for InterDigital Solutions. "Our User Aware
Video product portfolio, including the Perceptual Pre-Filter
solution, takes a novel approach to reducing bitrates without
impacting video quality."
Designed based on the science of human visual perception,
InterDigital's Perceptual Pre-Filter solution filters out parts of
visual content that the human eye cannot see under certain viewing
conditions. The removal of unnecessary visual information delivers
equivalent perceived quality while reducing bitrates. The system
benefits content publishers by enabling them to fit more channels
into existing bandwidth, deliver the best quality on any device,
increase revenue potential, and enable more customers to enjoy high
quality video.
InterDigital will again be showcasing its User Aware Video
solutions at the NAB Show, April 7-10, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
