V-Nova announced the public release of a number of video compression products based on PERSEUS technology, which is intended to provide UltraHD quality at HD bitrates, HD at SD bitrates, and SD video at audio bitrates.
The new products include a scalable end-to-end solution for mass-market adoption of live UltraHD, as well as other distribution products for UltraHD, HD, and SD video. PERSEUS compression is designed for two to three times compression gains, at all quality levels, compared to H.264, HEVC and JPEG2000.
PERSEUS has been developed and tested over the past five years within an Open Innovation consortium of more than 20 companies, including Broadcom, European Broadcasting Union, Hitachi Data Systems, Intel, and Sky. PERSEUS is currently offered in the form of appliances, embedded software and codec plug-ins.
