LAS VEGAS—Developments in software, IP, the cloud and AI have led to a need in compression technologies that V-Nova seeks to fill with its own Perseus compression technology, which will be on display during the 2019 NAB Show.

Perseus Pro is a commercially deployed codec that uses AI at its core, in a format that includes multiple layers of information within a single stream or file. V-Nova will demonstrate how the Pro model can perform multi-scale rendering from single assets inclusive of transparency and HDR, which enables services like contribution, production, imaging and AI-powered indexing acceleration.

Then there is the Perseus Plus model, which uses the same principles to boost the compression and computational performance of existing codecs, like AVC/H.264, HEVC, VP9 and, in the future, AV1. It also works with the MPEG-TS, HLS and MPEG-DASH formats. At NAB, V-Nova will present new cloud distributions to enable users to launch Perseus Plus’ services.

V-Nova will also feature its P.Link product, which is powered by Perseus Pro and AI to redefine intro-only contribution encoding with efficiency gains over JPEG 2000, MPEG-4 and HEVC-I solutions.

V-Nova is set to present these products at booth SU8213.

LONDON –Telestream has added support for V-Nova’s PERSEUS Plus codec to its Lightspeed Live video streaming system, which is used by numerous major operators and video service providers worldwide.

Telestream Lightspeed Live provides live multiscreen encoding, packaging and distribution in addition to multichannel video capture and processing. V-Nova’s PERSEUS Plus enables video to be transmitted at half the bitrate of existing h.264 solutions whilst improving picture quality, and the low complexity of PERSEUS Plus h.264 also increases encoding density by 2-3x when compared to HEVC. V-Nova says this can enable the delivery of live 4K content at up to 70 percent more efficiency when compared to current competitive codecs,

PERSEUS will be available in Lightspeed Live Stream from version 3.0.

“We have always been committed to ensuring our customers have access to the most innovative and advanced video delivery capabilities on the market,” said Scott Murray, vice president of Product Management at Telestream. “It is clear that V-Nova’s unique PERSEUS codec plays a key role in rolling out higher-quality and more efficient video services. We’re delighted to be able to offer PERSEUS to our customers.”
