IBC2018: V-Nova to showcase growing Perseus applications and deployment options

V-Nova will demonstrate at IBC the increased ease of access, performance and wider applicability of its Perseus codecs on stand 14.C36.

Highlights at the show will include:

• Perseus Plus on Multiple Screens: deployed on premise or in the cloud, Perseus is now available on a wide range of open source solutions, readily deployable for streaming to all devices and browsers with a single ABR ladder at bitrates as low as 1 Mbps for full HD and 300 kbps for 720p.
• P.Link: Redefines intra-only contribution encoding with significant efficiency gains over JPEG 2000, MPEG-4 and HEVC-I solutions.
• Live 4K Primary Distribution: An end-to-end demonstration of live encoding and distribution of 50fps 4K/UHD at as little as 8 Mbps (up to 70% lower bandwidth than other solutions in use today).
• Perseus UX Optimisation: Perseus Pro for imaging triples rendering speeds across connected devices enabling substantial improvements in UX responsiveness and image quality.

Working with industry-standard formats like MPEG-TS, HLS and MPEG-DASH, Perseus Plus delivers the best picture quality across any platform, even at low bandwidths. Perseus Plus also leverages existing dedicated hardware acceleration and works in tandem with existing codecs like AVC/H.264, HEVC, VP9 or in the future AV1. This approach enables all devices with hardware decoding for the underlying codec to be software updated to receive substantially more efficient video compression without impacting power consumption or decoding reliability. At IBC2018, V-Nova will demonstrate support for all devices using native hardware, making Perseus Plus H.264 the only next-generation codec ready for large-scale deployment today.

Also, at IBC, V-Nova will showcase its cloud-based encoding deployments and ever-expanding open-source component support that ensures Perseus Plus can be easily deployed in any existing workflow.
