- The Companies Partner to Integrate Advanced Compression and Streaming Technologies for High Quality Video Content at Very Low Bandwidth Rates -

SALT LAKE CITY, April 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Broadcast International, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: BCST) ("BI") (www.brin.com) and Anevia announced today that the companies have teamed together to provide seamless video services for the IPTV market. The partnership between the companies is multi-faceted and is based upon the interoperability of breakthrough, multi-codec video compression technologies from Broadcast International and advanced streaming technologies from Anevia that can deliver high-quality video to TVs, PCs and mobile phones.

Anevia, a leader in video streaming solutions and service infrastructure for live TV and video on demand (VOD), provides open, standards based software that optimizes the flow and streaming of high-quality video for various applications. Anevia has also developed 3Screens - a platform that manages conversion and delivery of video content to multiple devices for IPTV, Mobile, Broadcast, and many other services.

In order to ensure optimal treatment of the video content as it travels through a system's network, it must be encoded, transcoded, and optimized in a way to seamlessly interact with the Anevia platform.

Broadcast International has developed a patented software framework called CodecSys(TM) that cuts video bandwidth requirements over satellite, cable, IP, and wireless networks. It employs a breakthrough, multi-codec video compression technology based entirely within a software framework. Broadcast International and Anevia have partnered to ensure seamless interoperability between CodecSys and Anevia's product lines through a series of open, manageable API's. This interoperability enables delivery of high quality video content over any network, even at low bandwidth.

"We are extremely optimistic at the prospects of our alliance with Anevia. It has a solid foundation, built on the seamless integration of our products and the aim of providing superior video content to subscribers. We share a unique perspective on managing and optimizing video and doing it with streamlined software as opposed to outdated hardware appliances. Anevia leads the way in managing both live and video-on-demand applications and we can bring added-value to their solutions with our high-quality encoding and transcoding applications," said Rod Tiede, CEO Broadcast International.

Broadcast International is a leading supplier in the Americas while Anevia has a strong presence across the IPTV market in Europe, Middle East, and Africa. The partnership will allow both companies to deliver improved video services to a wider audience, extending their reach and raising customer satisfaction.

"Anevia is delighted that the partnership with Broadcast International will enable us to propose the highest quality video content at very low bandwidth rates," said Bernard Van Hoorn, Southern & Northern Europe Area Director at Anevia. "Our customers have come to expect the best from our solutions. Interoperability of our technologies with CodecSys(TM) shows them that we continue to seek excellence and innovation in video service delivery. Many of our customers have been searching for just such an offering."
