Human Monitoring Releases High Definition Video Stabilizer for User Generated Broadcast Applications Based on Texas Instruments' DaVinci? Technology

Amsterdam (PRWEB) September 8, 2008

Human Monitoring Ltd. (HM), a leading provider of advanced video and image processing solutions for embedded platforms and PCs, today announced the introduction of a high quality high-definition (HD) stabilizer, based on Texas Instruments' (TI) digital media processors based on DaVinci? technology.

HM's high quality, XDM-compliant Leonardo? Video Stabilizer is now available, supporting up to 60 frames per second, 1080p (HD resolution), on TI's embedded processors, including the TMS320DM6467 devices.

HM's Leonardo? Video Stabilizer solution supports ultra-wide jitter cancellation, scalable-range of jitter frequency, and configurable latency starting from a single field. Leonardo? offers real-time stabilization while completing the cropped parts of the stabilized stream temporally, avoiding the need for up-scaling. These features, which were once available only to professionals, are now available to a larger number of video content producers as well.

HM's Leonardo? video stabilizer will be demonstrated at the IBC Exhibition at the TI Booth Hall 1- BM4, on September 12-16th, 2008.

"This solution offers the opportunity to add high quality stabilization within broadcast cameras, allowing for an affordable stand-alone unit to stabilize or, alternatively be added to video servers removing unwanted camera shakiness. High quality yet affordable Video Stabilization for HD resolution is an emerging need in the marketplace, as UGC involves less professional cameras and photographers. Yet HD real time processing is a challenge. HM is well positioned to address the need, due to its inherent algorithmic advantages. We are proud to work with TI in bringing another winning solution to the market," said Ira Dvir, Vice President R&D, Human Monitoring.

"We are excited about the combination of the Leonardo? HD stabilizer with TI's TMS320DM6467 digital media processor based on DaVinci ? technology, which enables our customers to enhance their products. TI is committed to helping solve our customers' application challenges and with this new video technology they do not need expensive stand-alone boxes. Instead of these costly units, our customers can now perform video stabilization using just a fraction of a single DM6467 processor," said John Smrstik, General Manager of TI's video infrastructure business. "HM's Leonardo? turns video stabilization into an even more affordable feature."

"Leonardo? stabilizer utilizes efficient algorithms to handle wide range motion estimation, yet consuming less than 40 percent of the processing power offered by the DM6467 for 1080p at 30fps. The innovative approach also enables the preservation of the original video resolution, without the need to upscale the image and degrading its quality," adds Dr. Nitzan Rabinowitz, Human Monitoring, Chief Technology Officer.

Leonardo? Video Stabilizer is now available for the DM6467 digital media processor based on DaVinci? technology from Human Monitoring Ltd.

IPTV to Custom Match Advertisers With TV Views Based on Subscribers' Behavior Tracking

Cardiff By The Sea, CA (PRWEB) April 12, 2007

Apple and Microsoft have been in a battle for the "living-room" for years now. Microsoft took the XBOX approach and Apple took the iMac and iPod angle. But their strategy is now visible since both companies along with Google using UTube and several others Goliaths are integrating IPTV into the nextgen products consumers already know and love.

Consumers are rapidly being seduced by the promise of interactive TV called IPTV. Traditional Television offers viewers only one choice -- that of which TV channel to watch. Internet Protocol TV or IPTV allows On-Demand Viewing of not only international programming but of the advertisement content as well. So viewers will have complete control over what they watch and advertisers will have the benefit of precisely targeted Google Adsense / Adwords style marketing.

Robert Kim of http://iptv-coverage.com observed, "Since broadband internet service is fast becoming a staple household expense along with the gas and electric bill, advertisers and TV watchers are going to be able to communicate with each other interactively over iptv."

When asked to elaborate, he explained, "If a viewer can enter his demographic details and personal shopping, cultural, religious, and political preferences, then the IPTV companies like AppleTV and Microsoft IPTV can precisely match up advertisers' products to each viewer. Then, since everything is online, if a viewer wants to purchase an advertised product, all he has to do is click 'BUY' on his remote and the IPTV provider will be able to track buying behavior to further refine their targeted advertising. A Harvard Professor once told me that if you want to sell a Bible, go to someone who has already purchased more than one."

While advertising customization is a huge opportunity for the service provider and advertiser alike, product placement is just as big. Consumers with average income will see James Bond wearing Seiko and Movado watches while the highest income TV viewers will see Citizen and Rolex on 007's wrist. TV watchers who have shown a preference for Asian cuisine might see Toni Soprano's headquarters behind a Sushi sign instead of an Italian Deli.

New product and features announcements from IPTV service providers like Apple, Google and Microsoft are growing rapidly. Eager videophiles can find these announcements at http://iptv-coverage.com. Internet TV Service Providers and Hardware Manufacturers are also listing their newest public releases at http://iptv-wireless.com. All industry members and consumers are welcome to review, comment and vote on their favorite news items at the websites above.

All of these rapidly growing changes are putting tremendous pressure on the current TV delivery media. Satellite Internet ( reference: http://evdo-coverage.com/satellite-wireless-internet.html ) TV providers and traditional Cable TV providers are threatened by this rapid transition from static TV to interactive TV technology. Cable TV providers having read the handwriting on the wall for over a decade are bundling faster and faster broadband to their subscribers in hopes of keeping the last mile guarded. Satellite DSS Providers are now looking at WIMAX ( http://wimax-coverage.com ) because household satellite hardware is not powerful enough for uplink data transmissions, current DSS systems are only able to receive content not transmit into space. So a land based wimax bridge is needed to supplement existing orbital systems. To compare all the current internet access provider choices, see: http://wireless-internet-access-provider.com and it's matrix.

He has consulted with three letter government agencies including military, homeland security, and financial groups. His private sector consulting has reached into fortune 100 companies across all industries. He can be reached at 310 862 4250.
