【InterBEE2012】NTT Advanced Technology to Exhibit Lightweight, Low-latency Software Codec SDK for High Quality TV Conference Systems

NTT Advanced Technology will be exhibiting and demonstrating their lightweight, low-latency software codec SDK (HDVE-200SDK/HDVD-200SDK) for high quality TV conference systems at the NTT booth (Video and Broadcast Equipment Division #6401).



■ Transmission of two way HD video (1920 x 1080 resolution, 30fsp) with 60msec delay.
This software codec (HDVE-200SDK/HDVD-200SDK) is a software development kit (SD) using the H.264 encoder/decoder developed by NTT Media Intelligence Laboratories. According to Hiromi Oba of the Application Solutions Headquarters Contents Distribution Business Unit, this codec will allow computers with slower CPU’s such as notebooks to transmit high quality HD video ( (1920 x 1080 resolution, 30fsp) with a mere 60msec delay. It should be noted that, according to Mr. Oba, it is necessary to separately prepare a codec for audio since the SDK is only a video software encoder/decoder. He continued to explain that while ¥1.5 million in annual support costs would be necessary, at ¥3,000 per license, it's is possible to set up an HD video TV conferencing system.

In the supplied form, the Windows version includes all libraries and interface manuals of the H.264 encoder/decoder Direct Show Filter format while the Linux version includes all libraries and interface manuals of the H.264 encoder/decoder shared library format. Supported OS's include Windows XP SP3 (32bit), Windows Vista SP2 (32bit), Windows 7 SP1 (32bit/64bit), and Linux Cent OS Ver5. Also requires Intel-compatible CPU that supports SSE2 or higher. Additionally, the Windows version requires Microsoft Direct Show Filter supported by NVIDIA CUDA.
