MONTREAL — Jan. 19, 2009 — HaiVision Systems Inc., the world’s leading vendor of high-performance H.264 HD and SD video codecs, today announced a new partnership with DVC Digitalvideo Computing through which DVC will represent the full line of HaiVision solutions, providing sales, support, and design and integration services for customers requiring the lowest-latency HD and SD video transmission.

HaiVision’s MAKO-HD codec for the hai1000 platform is the world’s premier HD H.264 technology, delivering end-to-end video transmission with a remarkable 70 milliseconds of end-to-end latency. Supporting up to 5 MAKO-HD codec “blades,” the hai1000 multi-stream system is ideal for advanced communications environments (such as telepresence) and for mission critical HD video delivery over IP (such as within the medical and defense markets). The MAKO-HD supports HD video up to 1080p, SD video, and computer resolutions up to 1280×768 (WXGA). Based on industry standard H.264 video compression, the MAKO-HD is fully compatible with set top boxes, IPTV distribution systems, video conferencing, and HD video recording systems (including HaiVision’s SHARE-HD multi-stream network video recorder).

“HaiVision’s products support the highest performance encoding available and at the same time are very reliable,” said Harald Näther, general manager of DVC. “Based on industry standards, they fit very well with other technology that we have developed and products that we represent allowing us to deliver comprehensive, performance, end-to-end solutions.”
