Over Two Million Downloads for Orban PC Products
Circuit Research Labs, Inc., parent company of CRL Systems, Inc. dba Orban/CRL announced that that its Windows Media Plug-in for the Coding Technologies HE-AAC/aacPlus v2 audio codec recently received its two millionth download. The plug-in has been credited with helping to improve sales for Orban's PC Product Division and has succeeded in putting Orban's name on desktops all over the world.
The Orban Coding Technologies AAC/HE-AAC/aacPlus Player Plug-in is a free, full-featured Microsoft DirectShow component that enables AAC/HE-AAC/aacPlus audio files and streams within Windows Media Player. Standardized as MPEG4 HE-AAC v2, aacPlus v2 is a superset of the AAC codec. HE-AAC v2 uses Coding Technologies' Spectral Band Replication (SBR) and Parametric Stereo (PS) audio compression technologies to provide CD-quality audio in a footprint four to six times smaller than content encoded with MP3 (MPEG Layer-3) technology. Digital television and radio broadcasters take advantage of aacPlus to deliver high-quality audio streams while dramatically reducing bandwidth costs.
According to VP of Development, Greg Ogonowski, the plug-in passed 2,000,000 downloads in less than two years. Ogonowski states that emerging IP markets where bandwidth is still a premium, including Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia, are the biggest users of the plug-in. North American use is on the rise because of increased reliability.
