EuclidIQ Featured in Streaming Media Article on Video Optimization
Concord, Massachusetts (PRWEB) September 11, 2015 -- A recent article in Streaming Media magazine highlights EuclidIQ’s perceptual quality optimization technique and unique position when it comes to video optimization tools available in today’s market.
“EuclidIQ's IQ264 is designed to work directly in the encoder's pipeline, not as a separate process,” wrote Andy Beach for the September 2015 issue of Streaming Media magazine. “The fact that it is integrated into primary encoders means one less step when readying files, which many will no doubt see as a benefit.”
For those unfamiliar with IQ264, part of the company’s H.264-based compression toolkit, IQ264 has yielded an average of more than 20% bandwidth savings at equivalent quality to a reference encoder, such as x264.
These savings have been corroborated in internal subjective testing, confirming that IQ264 does so without impacting video quality.
“There is a misperception in the industry that video optimization using perceptual quality optimization (PQO) requires a pre- or post-processing step,” said Nigel Lee, EuclidIQ’s Chief Scientist. “The article points out a key differentiator for EuclidIQ's IQ264 technology, which is that it is integrated directly into the encoder. As such, IQ264 can improve the quality/bandwidth performance of the encoder itself, unlike post-processing techniques that must accept and hope to improve upon whatever shortcomings are present in the original encoding.”
In addition to IQ264, the article covered several other approaches to video optimization. A recent blog post by Dr. Lee delineates some of the differences between the EuclidIQ approach and those of the other companies mentioned in the article.
EuclidIQ will be demonstrating its IQ264 technology this week at the IBC convention in Amsterdam. A limited number of demonstration slots, for potential partners, are available by contacting the company directly at http://www.euclidiq.com.
