Euclid: More Smoke without Fire
Posted by Sachin Garg on 19th April 2006 | Permanent Link
A story on internetnews.com, where they got some comments from Euclid. Some excerpts:
“That’s our secret,” Pace told internetnews.com. “What we’ve found is a set of [block-based] techniques and algorithms that give us the benefit of [object-based] techniques.”
And it works well, Wingard said. “We’ve achieved in a validation environment a 460 percent compression, about a 600 percent improvement, ” he told internetnews.com.
The Euclid secret is for sale to the highest bidder. Wingard is optimistic about finding a buyer. Advanced video-compression technology could be useful for a variety of industries, he noted.
I sure hope the buyer gets a good demo on his own hardware and that he does a good validation of the “validation environment”.
