Fujitsu Announces Availability of IP-900 MPEG-4 Encoder And Decoder For Remote Applications

Foothill Ranch, CA, October 12, 2009 – Fujitsu Frontech North America Inc., a leading supplier of innovative computer products including peripherals, biometric security solutions, and digital media solutions today announced the general availability of the IP-900 series of compact MPEG-4 AVC encoders and decoders for efficient, real-time transmission of high-definition (HD) and standard-definition (SD) content over IP networks. The IP-900 is highly suited to mobile and transportable applications in news gathering and other remote event applications. The Fujitsu IP-900 significantly reduces the cost of transporting digital content over satellite and terrestrial links. The new advanced technology IP-900E encoder and IP-900IID decoder solution are available now and provide low latency with best-in-class video and audio fidelity at the lowest possible encoded data rates. Fujitsu will demonstrate IP-900 series and other leading-edge video broadcast technologies at the HD World Conference & Exposition (booth #918), October 14-15, 2009 at the Javits Convention Center in New York.

Fujitsu and Cisco Extend IP Networking Partnership with Development of Bandwidth-Efficient HD and SD Video Contribution System

Sunnyvale, CA, April 20, 2009 – Fujitsu and Cisco have collaborated on the creation of a highly-efficient video contribution system for use over IP or satellite infrastructures. Designed to help service providers maintain high levels of video quality at lower bandwidths, the system delivers breakthrough low-latency performance for IP video transmission. Contribution networks provide flexible and efficient mechanisms of transporting video programming from the source (such as a sports stadium) to a broadcast studio or headend. By applying IP efficiencies to processes that traditionally have relied on legacy technologies, Fujitsu and Cisco are delivering the potential for significant cost and performance benefits for both content producers and service providers.
