Ittiam Systems announces availability of new solutions for ABR, audio loudness and video monitoring

BANGALORE, India, April 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Ittiam Systems, a leader in multimedia technologies, today announced the availability of new solutions, offered as Software Development Kits (SDKs), adding to the current portfolio of solutions for content distribution and delivery in the broadcast market. These new SDKs are available for high density/high definition (HD) decoding for in-studio multi-viewer and monitoring applications, CALM Act compliant Loudness Measurement and Leveling (LML) solution and audio/video Adaptive Bitrate Streaming (ABR) with support for HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) and Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (MPEG-DASH).

Targeting the fast growing OTT/second screen delivery systems, Ittiam Systems' new  Adaptive Bit Rate (ABR) SDK provides a comprehensive implementation of server systems with support for both HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) as well as MPEG-DASH. Utilizing powerful built-in hardware support for video compression and preprocessing on the DaVinci™ TMS320DM816x video processor from Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI), the system can support high-channel density transcoding/encoding of HD content to tablets and phones. The Ittiam ABR SDK solution can be completed with a ready to install client for Android devices.

Ittiam Systems' field proven high density, multi-format audio transcoding solution is now enhanced with CALM/EBU R-128 complaint audio loudness monitoring and leveling capabilities, implemented on TI's TMS320C667x (C667x) DSP. The solution is built on an efficient multicore framework that enables efficient scheduling of multiple audio transcodes on many cores achieving best channel densities.

Also available is a new video decode SDK on TI's DM816x DaVinci video processor, capable of realizing multiple HD decodes for video wall and monitoring applications.

The SDKs are complemented by Ittiam Systems' next generation neonCaster Hardware Platform, which offers a modular and flexible approach to building hardware for broadcast equipment.

"TI's broad range of video processors combined with Ittiam Systems' rich technology provides customers with a complete, easy-to-use solution," said Atul Verma, business manager, video and audio infrastructure, TI.
