On2 Technologies, a leader in video compression solutions, will demonstrate high-definition mobile video solutions at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona from February 16-19. On2 will unveil new hardware design solutions for mobile and multimedia chip-set manufacturers, demonstrate its latest mobile video software implementations, and preview its cloud transcoding service at its Stand 1A55, in Hall 1 of La Fira convention center.

On2 Technologies announced today that 56.com, China's leading video sharing web site, is to standardize on On2 Flix Engine as its server-side transcoding and publishing platform for all web video uploads. In a move to dramatically reduce bandwidth costs and increase video quality, 56.com will switch to On2 VP6-based Flash video to encode and publish an average of 50,000 new video streams each day. 56.com serves video to over 35 million people each month.

56.com reviewed many encoding solutions as well as other formats for Flash video. On2 Flix Engine proved the most robust and reliable through rigorous testing and provided the broad input format support needed. The decision to choose On2 VP6 as the codec for Adobe Flash video was based on many factors including encode speed, compression metrics, features, playback performance, market acceptance and licensing terms.

On2 Technologies, the leader in video compression solutions, announced the availability of the Hantro 7280 encoder Register Transfer Level (RTL) design. Supporting MPEG-4, H.263 and H.264 video, along with 16MP JPEG, the encoder is targeted for chipsets intended for devices with very low-power requirements such as: portable video cameras, mobile phones, remote security cameras, laptops and webcams. With a maximum resolution of 1280x1024 at 30 fps, the Hantro 7280 introduces a new level of performance and functionality.

On2 Technologies, Inc., a leader in video compression solutions, announced today that it has joined the MIPS Alliance Program to bring its highly efficient video compression solutions to designers using cores from MIPS Technologies. On2 will optimize its TrueMotion VP6 decoder, used in Adobe Flash video, for the MIPS32 24K and MIPS32 24KE cores, which are widely used in DVD and set-top box solutions, and will offer a 'one-stop-shop' for video codecs to chipset and device manufacturers.

On2's codec portfolio includes both proprietary and standards-based designs. The proprietary TrueMotion codecs proliferate web video through Adobe Flash, SUN Microsystems and Skype, among others. The standards-based implementations, renowned for their highly efficient designs, are widely adopted by wireless chipset and device manufacturers. Supporting On2 VP6 & VP7, MPEG2, MPEG4, VC-1, Sorenson Spark and H.264, the codecs are available for licensing as software and hardware (RTL) IP supporting resolutions up to 1080p.

On2 Technologies, Inc., a leader in video compression technologies, announced that it has licensed Hantro embedded software video codecs to MediaTek Inc. , a global leader in fabless semiconductor for wireless communications and digital media solutions. The agreement, signed on Dec 27, 2007, will allow MediaTek to provide the On2 codecs along with its baseband chipsets to mobile handset manufacturers.

On2's Hantro embedded video software codecs provide chip and device manufacturers with a fast way to enable compelling video performance for applications such as: player / streamer, video telephony and mobile TV. Highly optimized for the mobile environment, the codecs save battery-life through the efficient use of available processor resources and are designed to facilitate porting to multiple wireless platforms.

On2 Technologies, Inc., a leader in video compression solutions, today announced that it has licensed its optimized TrueMotion VP6 video decoder software to Sony for use in its mylo communicator "COM-2" device.


The COM-2 uses On2's TrueMotion VP6 decoder with Adobe Flash Lite 3 software, and provides access to videos posted on Flash-based web sites. When connected to a wi-fi hotspot, the mylo communicator can also upload and download content to and from the Web using the touch screen interface on its 3.5-inch high-resolution display. By integrating an optimized version of On2's VP6 decoder, the mylo communicator users have the ability to enjoy web based video content, while on-the-go.

On2 Technologies, Inc., a leader in video compression technologies, announced today that Infineon Technologies AG has signed a multiple use license agreement for integrating On2's latest Hantro video accelerators. Configurable to support popular standard and proprietary video formats in resolutions from QCIF up to 720p High Definition, the encoder and the decoder RTL designs will be integrated to several Infineon baseband chipsets targeted for high volume mobile handsets.

Under the terms of the agreement On2 will provide Infineon with several configurations of the codec solution; the format and resolution support are specified during the system integration phase of the chip projects thus providing Infineon with maximum flexibility to ensure they achieve an optimum combination of silicon area utilization and functionality for their target markets.  

 

On2 Technologies, Inc., a leader in video compression solutions, announced at Macworld Conference and Expo 2008 that it has released a new update to its popular Flix Engine for creating Apple iPhone compatible video. Flix Engine is a leading server side encoding platform used by a large number of Web 2.0 websites and leading enterprises for creating video in multiple formats, including video for Adobe Flash Player 8 and 9, H.264 and 3GPP. As a result of this announcement, Flix Engine now also supports Apple QuickTime files for iPhone and iPod, providing video programmers and service providers support for the leading video formats for web and mobile video within a single encoding platform.

Broadcast International and On2 Technologies, leaders in video compression technology and solutions, today announced an agreement to make real-time, high quality video, including high-definition (HD) video, accessible anywhere to capable network-connected devices. Under the agreement, Broadcast International will integrate On2's market-leading TrueMotion codecs, which have more than 1 billion deployments worldwide, with its breakthrough CodecSys multi-codec video compression software. This integration will allow content available in standard formats to be encoded in real-time for delivery to a broad range of devices in resolutions significantly higher than previously possible.

"By incorporating the On2 Technologies codec into Broadcast International's CodecSys encoder framework, this opens up the world of Adobe Flash video and points to the future possibility of massively powerful and yet cheap encoders, running on the IBM Cell chip, which can ingest video once, and real time encode at impossibly low bandwidth, video for set tops, PCs and handsets, all in a single pass," said Peter White, Principal Analyst for digital media at Rethink Research Associates.
