InterDigital and DDD Demo UHD Video Processing Technologies at Mobile World Congress 2014
February 20 2014 - 9:00AM
DDD Group plc (AIM:DDD) (OTCQX:DDDGY) (the "Group"), the 3D
solutions and advanced imaging company, is partnering with
InterDigital, Inc. (Nasdaq:IDCC), a wireless research and
development company, to demonstrate next generation HD and UHD
video processing technologies at Mobile World Congress, which opens
on Monday in Barcelona.
DDD and InterDigital teamed to develop a depth-based video
pre-processing solution that delivers bandwidth savings in excess
of 20% when streaming 2D video to Smart TVs and
smartphones/tablets.
Pre-processing 2D video before it is encoded and streamed to the
viewer can save over 20% of the bitrate required to deliver the
equivalent unprocessed video. This performance improvement has
enabled full 1080 HD versions of content to be delivered where
conventional encoding techniques reduce the picture quality to 720
HD resolution based on the available bandwidth. Alternatively,
these bitrate savings allow a provider of streaming video to reduce
their bandwidth costs without compromising the picture quality of
their existing services.
Demonstrations of the technology at the International CES in Las
Vegas last month received a positive response from PC and mobile
device companies who are seeking solutions to improve picture
quality and performance for both streaming video and video
conferencing applications. At Mobile World Congress, the
DDD/InterDigital technology will be featured at InterDigital's
pavilion in Hall 7 Stand 7A71.
Chris Yewdall, CEO of DDD, said:
"We are delighted to be working with InterDigital to
leverage our combined expertise in the development of technologies
that address the expanding market for streaming high definition and
ultra high definition video content."
Scott McQuilkin, Senior Executive Vice
President, Innovation at InterDigital said:
"The increasing demand for streaming video on
smartphones and tablets, coupled with the lower transmission speeds
that are available to mobile users makes Mobile World Congress an
ideal venue to showcase our leading edge video
solutions."
