About
Streaming Appliances' patented VIPER Pre-Processor improves upon already existing encoders and processing chains for broadcasters. Using patented psychovisual model algorithms and GPU powered processing, VIPER delivers an average of 30% coding gain over ANY h.264 encoder alone. We also reduce buffering by up to 300% and eliminate blocking artifacts. We address a fundamental problem in the typical video processing chain, similar to the solutions we have developed for the largest digital radio broadcaster in the country. Content which passes through the MDCT of h.264 encoders are stripped of the phase information required for motion estimation to work properly and efficiently. We have an award winning team of scientists and inventors with patents publically available for viewing. We recently sealed a partnership with Digital Rapids, which makes us extremely portable and accessible to thier top tier customers. We are the ONLY pre-conditioning solution at Digital Rapids.
