Popular and profitable content services can now be bundled on today's DSL services, overcoming earlier bandwidth constraints. The technical solution from Thomson and Intel utilizes powerful compression and decoding in equipment installed at both customer premises and service provider facilities.
Advanced Video Compression

Working in cooperation with Intel Consumer Electronics Group, Thomson developed the IP1000 Series Advanced Compression Decoder* family. This family of flexible and expandable video delivery appliances, based on Intel® architecture hardware, enables telecommunications operators to compete more effectively by providing DSL subscribers with a new range of services.

The new generation of advanced video compression technologies, including MPEG-4 Part 10 (also known as H.264/MPEG-4 AVC) and Microsoft* Windows Media* Player 9, are key to the distribution of broadcast-quality video over IP networks. The advanced video compression reduces bandwidth requirements for high-quality video by about half compared to existing MPEG-2 technology.
