News Digest, weeks 46-50, 2004
Dear MPEGIF News Readers,
Although the end of 2004 is nearing, there has been no slow down in news coming in about MPEG-4 and MPEG-4 AVC. From next
generation chips to HD demonstrations and new phones and camcorders to gaming consoles there is a nice spectrum of visible market activity.
Let us give you a quick update on one of our
most important activities: We recently posted
Summary of 6th Interoperability Test Round to the website. 27 companies participated in AVC and AAC testing. The latest round of testing includes support for AVC/H.264 visual, High Efficiency AAC Audio, and AAC BSAC. The test round began in mid October 2004, and is expected to conclude in December 2004. A face-to-face test event will take place in December, jointly organized between ISMA, MPEGIF, and IMTC.
In addition, we are very pleased to confirm that two new members joined MPEGIF since our last news digest: Adtec Digital and mcubeworks.
Also, Pace Micro Technology joined MPEGIF, already back in October. Welcome!
Kind Regards,
Sebastian Moeritz,
President, MPEGIF
