KDDI Portfolio
  • Anti-piracy
  • Automatic content discrimination
  • Automatic content filtering recognition
  • Automated quality verification
  • MPEG2 - H.264 trans-coder
  • H.264 encoder
  • 4K H.264 encoder
  • H.264 watermarking
  • Interactive TV applications
  • Free viewpoint with selectable POV

10
KDDI Application Descriptions
  • Anti-piracy comes as several tools with variable
    application
  • Automatically distinguish between professional
    amateur content by looking at both production
    technical elements (editing, steadiness, screen
    area, color depth, frame rate, etc.)
  • Automatic content filtering recognition
    utilizes a sophisticated learning engine capable
    of both selecting and rejecting elements as
    desirable or un-desirable.
  • Automated quality verification
  • Ensures encoding meets a specific selectable
    standard of quality using a numeric grading scale
    to gauge video content
  • MPEG2 - H.264 trans-coder
  • Broadcast quality transcoding to convert
    libraries to latest high quality format for
    transmission

11
KDDI Application Descriptions
  • H.264 encoder
  • Prepares raw video for transmission or archiving
    in high quality format, encoder compatible with
    Automatic quality verification engine to insure
    to new content meets standards
  • 4K H.264 encoder
  • Highest quality encodes for digital cinema and
    other critical encoding applications
  • H.264 watermarking
  • Protects and identifies aiding in source tracking
    content
  • Free viewpoint with selectable POV
  • Uses multiple camera angles to create user
    selectable viewing angle anywhere in the image
    area, joystick controllable, exciting sports
    application potential
  • Vista Finder content transmission management
  • Takes video content directly into PC and
    transmits lossless image over cellular phone or
    satellite with very low bandwidth requirement -
    includes send and receive packages
