Any information about the new Pulsent-Algorythm?

[thechicane]

Hi there!

I just read about the new Pulsent (http://www.pulsent.com) Video Encoding algorythm which "provides a 400 percent improvement in bandwidth and storage efficiency over existing block-based video compression schemes like MPEG-2" (taken from the company website) making it possible to stream a complete TV resolution (PAL I think) through a 1 MBit connection... My question: Does anyone know further things about it???


Thanks! ;)

where are allready comreession divx to 1:10 of mpeg2

so it doens sound lie being som kind of divX killer

jsut another hyped mpeg realease maybe ?

There has not been alot of information released. And this has been the case with many other well hyped hoaxes. I can remember at least two or three in the recent past. We will have to give it a bit more time for their true colors and intentions to be clear. But ATM they are in my hoax file.

IIRC, MPEG-7 will be object based... BUT that may be object in the sense that it uses XML or other information to describe what you are seeing (for the blind or something), but I believe it is actually using object compression

[Koepi]

MPEG7 encapsulates MPEG4 and adds some more useful stuff like telshopping, switching off your refrigerator, etc. (so not even bells and whistles).
Nothing really interesting.

mpeg-4 already supports object coding btw... I mailed them asking for a demonstration copy

"broadcast-quality video into the home at 1.1 Mbps"
1.1 MBit/s = 1126,4 KBit/s ;)

i beleiv they menat mbits.. whne people are talking bits the seldom mean "M" (1024^2) but more like "m" (1000^2)

for peole woh don't know

M= 1024^2
m= 1000^2
K= 1024
k= 1000

small letter are based on 1000 capitals on 1024
small letter "b" are bits. capital letter "B" are bytes

aer yuo tpyign lkei thta no prpupoes?

OK, If you think thea meant 1.100 kBit/s for 1.1Mbit/s I don´t like to argue (although I thought 1.1 mbit/s would be 0.0011 Bit/s ;) )
However, I´ve made rips with almost DVD-quality (almost means just a little difference in this case) with 1.100 Kbit/s or 1126,4 KBit/s

The video is not much better than mpeg2 I guess (hey, 1.180 KBit/s MPG1 could have "braodcast-quality, too).
