Broadcast International to Demo Native Software Video Operating System at IBC 2009

Broadcast International, Inc. announced that it will exhibit and demonstrate CodecSys, its software-driven video operating system, at IBC 2009 on September 11-15.

"While IPTV has established itself in Europe, other parts of the world are beginning to understand and embrace it as an acceptable means of watching TV," said Rod Tiede, president and CEO of Broadcast International. "Regardless of what part of the world we live in, we all face the same issues of finding and creating enough bandwidth to meet the ever-increasing demands of watching videos and TV online. CodecSys is a solution to alleviate the increasing burden we place on the Internet by watching online videos and TV."

Broadcast said its CodecSys 1.4 is a multi-channel H.264 / MPEG-4 Part 10 / AVC and is designed for broadcasters, specifically IPTV, satellite and telco providers. These providers manage media with an increasing percentage being HD content. At the heart of CodecSys is a software-based encoder and it can receive live input through a capture board or encode from a file source.

IBC is an international forum for the electronic media industry, attracting more than 1,000 exhibitors from over 130 countries.
