Moonlight Presents H.264 Embedded HDTV Video CODECs
(Jan. 15, 2004) -- Moonlight presented its real-time H.264 and MPEG-2 High-Definition video CODECs for the Philips Nexperia PNX1500 for display as part of the Philips Connected Home Showcase at the 2004 Consumer Electronics Show (CES).
H.264 is emerging as the new standard for high quality video in consumer electronics. Moonlight’s high-performance H.264 and MPEG-2 CODECs embedded on the advanced, cost-effective Philips Nexperia PNX1500 offer the next stage in the evolution of video in consumer electronics.
Moonlight’s CODECs are presented on development boards by MDS (Momentum Data Systems), Moonlight's representatives in North America. MDS is an official distributor of Philips for development platforms, providing hardware and software development support and solutions worldwide.
Real-time H.264 video decoding for the Philips Nexperia PNX1500. Moonlight demonstrates its CIF 30fps (main profile) superior quality DSP decoder solution on the Philips Nexperia PNX1500. Moonlight expects to release a H.264 Decoder capable of D1 quality and a H.264 Encoder for the PNX1500 in the near future. Moonlight offers its H.264 Decoder for the PNX1500 as a part of its MMP (Mobile Media Player) software package together with its high-performance Real Time PC-based H.264 Half D1 30fps (main profile) Encoder and Full D1 PC-based H.264 Decoder. From the capture of video content on the PC to its storage and eventual viewing from a MMP, the Moonlight MMP software package is the comprehensive MMP solution for the consumer electronics manufacturer.
