[MPEGIF News] News Digest Returns

[David Price]

Gary,
Tandberg and Polycom are in video conferencing systems. Harmonic is #1 in
the world of broadcast video encoding systems. I think our news is ground
breaking as, to my knowledge, it is the first announcement of adoption of
MPEG-4 Part 10, Main Profile, Level 3 in broadcast video......if anyone has
seen any prior announcements I would greatly appreciate their links..
thanks
David

Gary,
Thanks for your comments. I talked to Harmonic and they really see this as
an AVC deployment, even though this may arguably be unclear from their
release.
I know about H.264 being introduced in the videoconferencing space - but I
hadn't come across any press releases myself yet. Credit where credit is due
though:

teh MPEGIF home page and in the weekly digest.

Regarding the comment that Harmonic may be the first commercial AVC
deployment: I notice that the referenced Harmonic's press release still
seems to refer to AVC capabilities primarily in the future tense.  
However, in any case, this is not the first. The industry that is really
deploying AVC first is the videoconferencing community.  Polycom and
Tandberg (the #1 and #2 companies in that world) have both been claiming to
be shipping it for six months or more.  (However, I have not yet heard of
their shipping products achieving interoperability with each other's
products, so some real work remains to be done in that area.)
All the best,
-Gary
