Modulus Video Licenses H.264 from LSI Logic

Modulus Video, a start-up based in Sunnyvale, California, agreed to license FPGA-based H.264 video compression/decompression and analysis technology from LSI Logic. Current digital video distribution is based primarily on MPEG-2, a nearly ten year old standard that has reached its limit of video compression efficiency. H.264 / MPEG-4.10, a new and open video compression standard, was ratified in 2003 by the ITU and the MPEG. H.264 has been shown to outperform MPEG-2 by at least a factor of two, thus requiring 50% or less bandwidth or storage capacity for equivalent qualityhttp://www.lsilogic.com/http://www.ModulusVideo.com
