Fremont CA, April 15, 2004 - XVD Corporation and
B.H.A Corporation (BHA) will demonstrate during NAB next week the XVD CamCast
Professional, a real-time mobile encoding system that enables cable-free
flexibility for remote production broadcasting crews covering live news events.
Each system consists of portable rugged transmitters that connect directly to
cameras and stream broadcast picture quality video wirelessly to a CamCast
Professional receiver that can be located in the outdoor broadcasting (OB) van
or truck. Up to four cameras can stream simultaneously full-D1 quality video to
a receiver at a single site. This is made possible by utilizing the company's
XVD technology, the most advanced real-time video compression (codec) available.
XVD can deliver equivalent video quality at only one-tenth the bitrate of MPEG-2
compression.
The CamCast Professional system will be demonstrated for
the first time publicly at the National Association of Broadcasters annual
conference in Las Vegas from April 19-22 in the XVD/BHA booth (# SU9026). The
event will also mark the launch of XVD Corporation, a new enterprise focused on
delivering professional-grade, real-time video compression solutions for a wide
range of industry applications. XVD CamCast Professional represents the first of
such offerings.
The CamCast Professional streams compressed XVD video
and audio over the 2.4GHz frequency band, which requires no license to operate.
The system provides user-friendly feedback and controls to both the camera
operator and the production crew to assure a smooth high-quality broadcast.
"We are pleased to release the first XVD CamCast product solution at
this year's NAB, the professional broadcasting market plays a central role in
BHA's and XVD Corporation's strategy and we are making rapid progress, "said
Masaharu Yoshihara, chief executive officer and president of BHA and director of
XVD Corporation. "Moreover, the planned release during the fourth quarter of
this year of a high-vision XVD CamCast real-time hardware encoder will make HDTV
content more readily available to TV viewers. This offering will contribute
significantly to the development of the broadcast industry and the consumer
market simultaneously."
