Octasic's enhanced Vocallo MGW multicore processors support advanced video features

Octasic has announced that its enhanced Vocallo MGW processor devices support mobile video product features including video messaging adaptation and optimization, video mail servers, on-demand transcoding, mobile video conferencing, 3G-324M gateways, video surveillance, and an industry-leading Interactive Voice and Video Response (IVVR) portfolio.

The Vocallo MGW processors also provides a complete video processing solution, controlled via a packet-based API, with no DSP programming required. Each video stream can be independently configured and controlled for each mobile subscriber. Vocallo MGW supports transcoding of H.263, MPEG-4 and H.264 video codecs; provides an adaptive jitter buffer and coordination with audio streams; and a full set of wireless and wireline audio codecs.

Octasic says, a recent Infonetics report on IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) found that more than half of the service provider respondents plan to deploy video telephony and converged mobile/fixed-line services over the next 12 to 18 months (IMS Plans: Global Service Provider Survey, August 2009).

In addition, the Vocallo MGW provides mixing capabilities up to 16 layers can be assembled in real time to create complex IVVR capabilities, picture-in-picture (PIP), or branded video streams.

"Vocallo MGW combines the best audio and video quality seen in the market today. Our DSP is the most power-efficient solution available for mobile video applications, by a factor of 2," said Robert Blake, CEO of Octasic. "We're thrilled to be licensing Dicas' industry-leading video decoder to ensure that our customers can achieve the highest possible 'quality of experience' from our products."

"Mobile video is a quickly evolving market," said Sebastian Moeritz, CEO of Dicas. "Octasic's vision of providing pristine audio and video mobile access -- at an affordable cost -- to accelerate industry growth and meet consumer demand is complementary to our own. We're pleased to be able to offer the industry's best H.264 decoder to Octasic to further our mutual cause."
