SIGGRAPH 98/Ligos Technology Develops Revolutionary Software Codecs to Bring Digital Video Recording to the PC Business Wire - July 13, 1998 06:45 Jump to first matched term SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 13, 1998-- GoMotion(tm) Codecs Deliver Inexpensive Alternative To Real-Time Hardware Solutions Without Sacrificing Quality Ligos Technology, developers of award-winning multimedia software solutions, announced today it will introduce a groundbreaking class of software-only MPEG-2 codecs, named GoMotion(tm) that will transform the PC into a digital video center. The codecs will be designed for real-time performance on today's Intel Pentium(R) II processor platform. "The GoMotion(tm) codecs will deliver never-before-available software-only video capabilities on today's Pentium(R) II processor platform with the Intel740(tm) graphics chip, said Peter Forman, president and CEO of Ligos Technology. "These revolutionary codecs will enable digital media recording, videoconferencing and video editing in MPEG-2 on standard personal computers -- empowering the future of digital entertainment and communications. This breakthrough is at least a year ahead of analysts' projections." "Ligos is creating affordable, easy-to-use software based on our LightSpeed motion estimation algorithm," said Richard Cowart, vice president of engineering, Ligos Technology. "GoMotion(tm) will set free a market encumbered by expensive digital video hardware. Because Ligos' codecs are completely MPEG-2 compliant they will affect a broad range of markets, including broadcast, media professional, corporate and consumer." Ligos has demonstrated real-time MPEG-2 recording on the latest Pentium II processors and will demonstrate July 21-23, in the Intel Booth, No. 979 at SIGGRAPH'98 in Orlando, FL. Ligos will also be scheduling appointments for private demonstrations in their NDA suite. Please contact Sean Kauppinen of G/H technologies, or Susan Stearman of Ligos Technology to schedule a demonstration. "Ligos' MPEG-2 software codec takes full advantage of the computing power of the Pentium(R) II processor platform," says Brian Ekiss, marketing manager for desktop graphics products at Intel's graphics components division. "Paired with the real-time video capture capabilities of the Intel740 graphics chip, the Ligos codec delivers a new level of video functionality to PC users." "It works," said Richard Doherty, director of research for The Envisioneering Group. "Real-time software-only MPEG-2 video compression is now possible on premium PCs. Ligos has shattered the barriers between artists and audiences who previously had to wrangle to get incompatible, costly hardware based systems." Tests of the GoMotion(TM) codec with current MMX technology have demonstrated real-time performance at SIF (352x240) resolution on a 400 MHz Pentium(R) II processor platform with the Intel740 graphics chip. The codec will be made available as a Microsoft(R) DirectShow(TM) component, providing the industry the easiest path to integrate these new capabilities into their own systems and applications. Technology Available for License The patent-pending LightSpeed motion estimation algorithm used in GoMotion codecs is available for licensing. Applications include videoconferencing, video encoding (MPEG and other video), image recognition and any other application that requires efficient motion estimation. Envisioneering is a digital technologies test and market research organization based in Seaford, NY. Additional information about Envisioneering is available at envisioneeringgroup.com About Ligos Technology Ligos Technology, developers of award-winning multimedia solutions, is the leading provider of OEM technology and applications for digital media recording and navigation. Ligos is dedicated to delivering the highest-quality MPEG software solutions for the digital video market.

let, The significant part of this Divi announcement doesn't come till very near the end. It goes; INTELSAT is one of the world's largest commercial satellite communications service providers. It is an international, not-for-profit, cooperative of more than 140 member nations. Its global satellite system brings television, telephone and data distribution services to billions of people on every continent. thousands of Earth stations that access its system. Essentially, INTELSAT operates as a wholesaler, providing services to end-users through the INTELSAT member in each country. Now if Divi did a really good job and the other members of the co-op follow suit could this win be 1000X the size of the initial announcement? Go DIVI, give them everything they want so they'll be back for more. Make DIVI the standard that INTELSAT endorses and you will grow for years!. Hey TimoR, If you want to win one of those free SI memberships up for grabs order that G3 DVD system now and make a report on whose chip is on it and you might get the membership as a rebate.. Just an idea.
