USA Video Interactive is an international designer and supplier of
high-tech Video-on-Demand™ systems, services and solutions. The USA
Video Interactive technology allows users to view streaming video or to
access digitized video libraries, including movies, sports, other
entertainment, educational resources, corporate training seminars and
other archives. The USA Video Interactive technology gives users
full-motion video; the unique flexibility of standard, VCR-like controls
of play, fast forward, reverse and pause; and the convenience of a
standard internet-browser format for access. USA Video Interactive can
utilize MPEG-1, MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 compression techniques but prefers its
Wavelet compression technology, which is fully compliant with MPEG-4.
The USA Video Interactive Wavelet technology allows direct streaming and
download & play options; provides video images significantly faster and
at a higher degree of resolution than with previously available methods;
significantly overcomes bandwidth restrictions; and eliminates the
blockiness and slowness of current technologies, all at a lower cost. An
essential feature of the USA Video Interactive technology is that it
allows extremely high compression ratios while retaining broadcast
quality.
