Mobile Video
Mobile operators are always on the lookout for new value-added services that can help increase the Average Revenue Per User (ARPU). Mobile video has the potential to become the most important service used over mobile broadband.
As services such as YouTube, Facebook and video blogging move from the web to the mobile phone, the demand for high-quality video content adaptation is increasing dramatically. Initially deployed on x86-based servers, OEMs are turning to embedded solutions to help reduce cost, power consumption and server room footprint.
Octasic's carrier-class solutions can be used in the following applications:
- Video streaming
- Content adaptation
- Video conferencing
- Video messaging
- IVVR systems
Carried over EDGE/WCDMA/HSDPA, EV-DO/Rev A networks, video content needs to be dynamically adapted to the bandwidth constraints imposed by the changing conditions of the network. As WiMAX/LTE deployments roll out, the thirst for higher resolution video will put even more strain on the video gateway.
Video codecs supported include H.263, MPEG-4 and H.264. Video streams can be encapsulated in standard file formats such as 3GP or AVI. In addition, Octasic's transcoding solutions can be used for adapting Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) messages.
