Immedia Semiconductor, Inc. develops and markets semiconductor based video compression technology for consumer electronics applications. Staffed by a world class team of video compression technology experts, Immedia is the first company to completely eliminate the need for DRAM memory in silicon based H.264 codecs. Immedia’s NoDRAMtm technology dramatically reduces the BOM cost for high volume encoding camera applications including:
- Notebook/Netbook computers
- PC Webcams
- TV Cameras
- Wireless Webcams
- IP Cameras
Immedia’s HPLCtm system architecture provides significant benefits in OEM camera applications including:
- Skypetm HD certification
- Significantly improved image quality and reduced bit rates compared to competitive solutions
- Ultra low latency (<15 msec)
- Low power consumption
- SVC encoding support, providing full compatibility with soon-to-be released video conferencing applications such as Microsoft Lynctm
Immedia’s senior management team has well over 100 man years of experience implementing high performance codec chips and OEM system solutions. This same team also founded Sand Video, which developed the first ever H.264 decoder chip and was subsequently acquired by Broadcom in 2004. Prior to that this team founded Pixel Magic, which developed the first ever JBIG chip and the world’s highest performance JPEG chip and was acquired by Oak Technology (now Zoran).
With its highly experienced team, patent pending architecture, and system technology, Immedia is uniquely able to offer OEMs a new way to enhance their competitive advantage. In a world dominated by “me-too” technology, Immedia’s technology provides compelling features and benefits and easy OEM integration.
