Visioneering Corporation is a privately-held, growth-stage company that develops and unique digital video technology for a variety of markets and applications including the rapidly expanding internet protocol television (IPTV) and intelligent video security and surveillance markets.
The linear, entertainment-viewing experience for millions of people is now becoming an “interactive, on-demand, advertising-targeted, two-way entertainment and communications platform,” according to Tracy Swedlow of Interactive TV Today. IPTV technologies are reinventing the passive TV viewing experience. The IPTV set-top box market is forecasted to reach 53 million subscribers by 2009, and total over $6B in equipment revenues, according to Infonetics Research. Visioneering is capitalizing on the rapid growth of this market by providing state-of-the-art IPTV products to VARs and content providers on a worldwide basis.
Visioneering has launched its Sonata IPTV™ set-top box product line, which allows the user to experience the latest in digital IPTV technology in their home. Sonata features both H.264 (MPEG-4 part 10) and Windows® Media9 video codecs for the best in video compression technology. The product line allows customers the flexibility of using either MontaVista Linux or Windows CE 5.0 operating systems. One of Sonata’s distinguishing advantages over other products in the market is its proprietary image enhancement technology that significantly improves the visual signal clarity, sharpness, and contrast of the video images. This technology dramatically improves any standard or high definition video signal.
The technology behind the Sonata line of set-top boxes is unparalled in the industry. It uses the latest video compression technologies in an open-architecture system that is among the first to successfully incorporate the Texas Instruments DM644x™ DaVinci technology, which delivers exceptional video and audio quality in a small form factor utilizing the H.264 AVC and VC-1 compression standard for video decoding. DaVinci also allows Sonata to deliver many different high-performance features on a single low-cost device. This gives Visioneering the competitive advantage of providing a set-top box with a rich feature set for a much lower price point than competing products.
Visioneering is working with source providers and VARs who will provide IPTV content such as interactive TV, sports, gaming, ethnic programming, distance learning, and video-on-demand. This content is delivered to the home via broadband internet using existing telephone networks to transmit the digital video data. Sonata is a critical link that allows the digital home to interface to the IPTV network. IPTV will fundamentally change the way people use and interact with television.
