CodecSys(TM) Patent Granted in Japan
Broadcast International solidifies its position in Asia with grant from Japanese Patent Office
SALT LAKE CITY, April 28 -- Broadcast International, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: BCST) ("BI") announced today that it has received a patent grant from Japan covering the CodecSys(TM) encoding platform. The patent is broad in its nature and covers the unique, proprietary system used by CodecSys(TM) to deliver complex video streams over the Internet at bandwidths lower than previously achieved in the marketplace.
CodecSys(TM) is a breakthrough, multi-codec video compression software platform that dramatically reduces video bandwidth requirements over satellite, cable, IP and wireless networks. By slashing bandwidth needs, CodecSys enables a new generation of applications to deliver HD video at lower bandwidth rates than previously achieved with legacy, outdated hardware encoders.
"We are thrilled to receive this formal acknowledgment from Japanese authorities who recognize the tremendous value of our technology. Not only does this award continue to validate the reality and viability of our offer, but it adds to a suite of patents in the Pac-Asia region," said Rod Tiede. "The Pacific-Asian region place is extremely difficult to break into without strong technology protection, so we see some exciting opportunities in the horizon with this formal recognition from Japan's Patent Office."
