For Carriers and Service and Network Providers:
p-Video’s Multi-Resolution Video Source Reduces Network Bandwidth
Usage for Multi-appliance Video Content Delivery
p-Video’s multi-resolution video source for multi-resolution, multi-appliance,
multiple-client viewer video displays (mobile, netbook, PC, TV) can uniquely
reduce network bandwidth usage for multi-appliance video content delivery. With
p-Video installed at the server or Network Video Recorder (NVR) or the IP
network camera, significantly less video data is thereby needed for the multi-
resolution, multi-appliance, multiple video picture displays. This thereby enables
significant reduction in carrier and service and network provider video
infrastructure costs, capital expenditures (CapEx), and operating expenses
(OpEx).
p-Video also provides the following additional benefits for the carrier and service
and network provider. With p-Video installed, the current transcoding is no
longer needed for providing, for example, a lower resolution video bit stream such
as QVGA for mobile. And at no extra cost to the carrier and service and network
provider, mobile viewers can also watch, for example, higher resolution video
such as SD on mobile. All this along with the mobile p-Video Magnifying Glass
(VMG) and mobile p-Video zoom/pan "region-of-interest" (ROI) functionalities.
Precoad Video Magnifying GlassTM (VMG) Significantly Reduces
Bandwidth Usage
Precoad Video Magnifying GlassTM (VMG) provides a novel way to significantly
reduce bandwidth usage and improve bandwidth efficiency (or Quality of Service,
QoS) by reducing bandwidth usage by an overall order of at least 3x when VMG
is engaged. This is accomplished by displaying the highest quality video in the
VMG window (the viewer’s primary focus of interest), while slightly and acceptably
lessening the sharpness of the surrounding full-screen video outside the VMG
(the viewer’s secondary focus). By leveraging p-Video’s breakthrough VMG
technology, significantly less video data is thereby needed for perfectly
acceptable, though slightly less sharp, video display outside the VMG window.
Overall bandwidth usage can thereby be reduced by factors of 3-6x while VMG is
engaged. This enables significant reduction in mobile carrier video infrastructure
costs, capital expenditures (CapEx), and operating expenses (OpEx). Precoad
VMG usage thus empowers carriers and service and network providers with a
truly innovative and useful way for better controlling and reducing video
infrastructure costs, CapEx, and OpEx. VMG can thereby finally address the oft
repeated and highly critical and pressing bandwidth reduction and bandwidth
efficiency (QoS) needs of mobile carriers and service and network providers.
Carrier Independent for Evolutionary Rollout and Deployment
Precoad’s p-Video STB can be functionally independent of carriers and service
providers. The new p-Video functionalities are additional to existing features, and
none of the existing feature sets are lost or eliminated. For example, p-Video
functionalities work seamlessly, transparently, and are compliant with home
networking standards such as CableLabs’ CableHome. This enables
evolutionary rollout and deployment whereby carriers and service providers can
deploy rich p-Video functionalities from the STB, rather than from their headend
servers. In other words, their headend servers can basically remain untouched.
