Dilithium Enables Dynamic Video Traffic Shaping & Optimization
15th April , 2009
US : Dilithium, the global leader in high-quality multimedia delivery over mobile and broadband networks, today announced that its Dilithium Video Optimizer (DVO)™ enables content providers and service providers to reduce the bandwidth necessary to deliver video to 2.5 and 3G-enabled devices by up to 50 percent without reducing video quality. By deploying the DVO, service providers can immediately provide a significantly better user experience as content can be displayed faster, with less buffering on devices and without degradation of video quality.
The DVO allows service providers to accommodate increasing delivery of high-quality live mobile video over already heavily-trafficked networks without making significant capital expenditures. As the network load increases, the DVO enables dynamic video traffic shaping at the video layer. Dilithium’s unique technology enables providers to accommodate more users without reducing video quality or making major forklift upgrades.
“The exploding demand to view video anywhere, anytime on today’s networks creates an overwhelming burden on bandwidth consumption for service providers,” said Paul Zuber ( inset ), Dilithium CEO. “Providers want to offer their customers the latest live video applications, but they cannot invest hundreds of millions of dollars in network upgrades to meet this explosive demand.
We are proud to offer service providers an elegant and cost-effective solution that provides a superior video experience to their smartphone users.” By utilizing patented on-the-fly transcoding and transrating capabilities, the DVO quickly adjusts to handset capabilities, without the need for any special streaming client on the handset. This enables service providers to deliver video content for live and video-on-demand (VoD) delivery to the widest range of devices, including PCs, set-top boxes, and virtually all 2.5 and 3G video-enabled smartphones. The adaptation process also allows it to work transparently with native browsers or streaming players on all devices.
