[M4IF Technotes] Call for MPEG-4 encoders for review

[Moeritz, Sebastian]

Dear Ben,
With great interest I have read your note yesterday in the M4IF technote list about your forthcoming article on ISO compliant MPEG-4 encoders and I thouhgt I drop you a few lines with a view of introducing our company.
In a nutshell, if I may say, Dicas specialise in the manufacturing of innovative software solutions for efficient storage and transmission of audio-visual data via digital networks utilising both proprietary and public domain technologies. This obviously includes an ISO compliant MPEG-4 video encoder.
We co-operate with the Heinrich-Hertz Institute (HHI) in Berlin, a member of the Motion Picture Experts group, who have actively contributed in defining the standards for MPEG-4. In this context I would confirm that one of our founding engineers, who has also published within the Motion Picture Experts Group, has actually worked with and at HHI for a number of years.
In 1999, Dicas has won the Innovation Prize for Multimedia Technology granted by the German Ministry of Economy and the German Association of Engineers (VDI/VDE). Since then we have developed a number of products and are continuing to dedicate an extremely high level of resources towards further research and development in order to maintain our position as being "a step ahead". 
Besides researching and developing own products and applications, we have also ported our technological know-how and expertise for same to represent a product in its own right. In essence acting as our customer's know-how pool we deploy consultancy and development resources to adapt our technology to individual requirements and to integrate it into existing and emerging products.
We are directly responding to the movements and opinions in the market, specifically in the Broadcast and Streaming area. Reliable content delivery and the sophisticated storage of content are paramount to any successful service provision or presence. Our objective and mission is to provide the industry with the most advanced core technology for digital video enabling the creation of high quality and state-of-the-art solutions for MPEG-4 based digital audio/video transmission and storage.
All things considered, I would be grateful if you could revert back to me at your convenience with a date in December when you will need our encoder. Obviously we want to make sure to send you our most up-to-date version. 
If you have any queries or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards.
Sebastian Moeritz
