Fujitsu Demonstrates MPEG-4 AVC Encoder for Satellite News Gathering at SMPTE Technology Conference

Sunnyvale, CA, October 23, 2007 — Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc., today announced it will exhibit and present at the upcoming SMPTE Technology Conference & Expo, Oct. 24-27 in Brooklyn, NY. Fujitsu’s best-of-class High Definition (HD) video encoder/decoder, the IP-9500, offers broadcast quality video transmission at low bit-rates and low latency, enabling HD news content to be transmitted in the same satellite bandwidth as Standard Definition (SD). Fujitsu executives will present on the innovative MPEG-4 AVC compression algorithms developed by Fujitsu Laboratories in the session titled “Topics in Hybrid AV/IT Systems” Thursday, Oct. 25 at 2pm ET.

The IP-9500 delivers HD quality at very low latencies, encoding and decoding video content in less than 300 milliseconds. It supports both 1080i and 720p formats with video data rates from 4-20 Mbps in both standard and low latency. The Fujitsu encoder is an exceptional solution for broadcasting companies that desire to transmit remote HD content through existing satellite configurations, while minimizing costs by utilizing a single satellite channel. In addition to the SMPTE presentation, Fujitsu will release “Exceeding Expectations: High QoS and High Picture Quality Enable the HD Revolution,” that details the breakthrough technology allowing the IP-9500 to produce high picture quality at very low latencies that are not achieved by utilizing existing MPEG-4 AVC technology.

To view the IP-9500 and receive a personal demonstration, visit the Fujitsu booth (#403), or call Katie Watson (415/848-2589) to schedule an appointment.
