Get connected to the new MAYAH IO [io] 8001 Audio Video Codec with AVC / H.264 and AAC shown at IBC in Amsterdam

Munich / Amsterdam, 7th of September 2005:

With the IO [io] 8001 MAYAH introduces a powerful AVC / AAC Audio Video Codec for a wide range of professional applications is introduced at IBC in Amsterdam:

MAYAH’s new IO [io] series en/decoders are taking MPEG 4 to the next level in terms of picture quality and line cost efficiency with full D1 PAL/NTSC resolution starting at 1–2 Mbit/s and going down progressively for PDA/mobile applications. The MPEG 4 ISMAcompliant stream is a ”universal stream” covering broadcast, enterprise and webcasting applications.

Supporting MPEG 4 SP, ASP and AVC (H.264), IO [io] audio video en/decoders cover the requiements of mid-range broadcasting and corporate applications covering DVB-H, UMTS/3G, SNG, reporting, distribution, inhouse-streaming and ipTV. Best of all, the IO [io] series combination of MPEG 4 AVC and IP, achieves dramatic reductions on investment and monthly costs.

With ISMA compliant streams – supported by QuickTime, Windows Media, Real, VLC, and various PDAs, mobiles, DVB-H receivers and set-top boxes – full inter-operability is obtained. And with full D1 at 768 x 576 / 480 for PAL/NTSC and up to 25/ 30 fps IO’s, MPEG 4 is challenging MPEG 2, but with less than half the bit rate. This allows huge cost reductions for the network lines – E1/T1, IP over satellite, ATM etc. – and a possible return on investment in weeks or months instead of years.

Key features include:
