Montreal, Canada -- HaiVision Systems Inc., the world’s leading
vendor of performance H.264 network video codecs, announces
collaboration with Glowpoint (OTC: GLOW), a premiere
broadcast-quality, IP-based managed video service provider, to
deliver telepresence and interactive broadcast network video
services. Telepresence integrators and broadcasters can now source
HD network video solution packages validated specifically for the
performance and operational characteristics necessary within these
segments such as video quality, video latency, system manageability,
reliability, and on-line customer service. |

HaiVision’s MAKO-HD provides the fastest H.264
HD encoding available with 70 milliseconds of latency, supporting up
to 1080p resolution. Glowpoint’s global “video-centric” network
provides the quality of service necessary for high performance video
in terms of jitter and network latency combined. Glowpoint combines
network quality with “white glove” telepresence and broadcast
service management from their Video Network Operations Center
(VNOC).
Within the audio-visual services community, integrators experienced
in room and theater design have been seeking the perfect marriage of
codec and network offering. By incorporating Glowpoint’s VNOC
service and ultra-clean, video-centric IP network with HaiVision
telepresence codecs, integrators can assure their client’s world
class network video performance delivered into their client’s custom
environments.
Broadcasters are as well being driven towards IP-based, telepresence
style technology for interactive content contributions. Just as
latency dramatically reduces the effectiveness of a conference, it
deprives broadcasters of compelling discussions during remote
interviews and the effects can even tarnish the image of the
participants. Concurrently, broadcasters are looking to reduce costs
by moving from expensive satellite and fixed line architectures to
IP-based connectivity. The validated HaiVision Glowpoint solution
delivers industry standard high performance HD technology over low
cost IP networks with the full assurances of a managed service.
The new MAKO-HD codec for the hai1000 delivers full frame rate high
definition (HD) video with an unprecedented 70 milliseconds of end
to end latency. For complete information on the MAKO-HD and hai1000
products, please visit HaiVision’s download center at

Glowpoint will be demonstrating HaiVision’s
MAKO-HD in live conferences on the show floor at NAB, booth SU13510.
Plan to see HaiVision and the MAKO-HD at NAB booth SU11626.
