Nefsis® Expands Scalable Video Coding for Windows 7
Nefsis expands scalability across
its video conferencing cloud,
plus multi-core processing and scalable video coding at each participant
San Diego, California — July 23, 2010 — Recent shipments of
Windows 7 for business, comprised almost entirely of multi-core
systems, showcase Nefsis scalable video conferencing capabilities
for business applications. Nefsis delivers high-quality HD video to
Windows 7 desktops by expanding video scalability in three ways:
across its worldwide server cloud; across multiple processing cores
at each participant's personal computer; and through the use of
scalable video coding. With this technology advance virtually any
business can enjoy high quality video conferencing that was once the
exclusive domain of expensive boardroom installations.
Nefsis scalable video coding is a form of variable
bit-rate processing that allows customers to use any Internet
connection type, including shared connections whose bit-rate changes
in real-time. By further abstracting hardware-specifics,
scalable video coding (SVC)
also plays a key role in letting Nefsis customers pick any plug-n-play
webcam or HD video peripheral. The Nefsis encoding process maximizes
video quality within the user's camera capabilities and bandwidth in
real-time. A single slow connection or low-end camera does not degrade
the conferencing experience for other participants. Nefsis SVC,
together with multi-core processing, powers the fluid motion and
exceptional picture quality seen in Nefsis video conferences.
The Nefsis product is available as installable software and online
service with support for Windows 7, 32 and 64-bit editions. Customers
that seek an instant-on solution can take advantage of the Nefsis
online service cloud. The Nefsis cloud further improves video
conferencing performance by selecting the best nearby server for each
video conference.
"Your entry-level Windows 7 desktop
ships with two processor cores, with four and eight processors seeing
more popularity among business IT shops. These are ideal platforms to
showcase multi-core concurrency in Nefsis," said Allen
Drennan, Nefsis Founder and Chief Technology Officer. "Software
concurrency plus scalable video coding means no hardware-based
multichannel units and affordable, high-quality video conferencing
almost anywhere you have an Internet connection," he concluded.
