Beamr Video is a patent-pending video optimization technology, which significantly reduces

the bitrate of H.264 video streams without affecting their perceptual quality. Both SW and

hybrid HW/SW solutions based on the technology are available.


• Delivering high-quality video streams over bandwidth-constrained bearers

• Storing and archiving large collections of video files

Our Offering

Beamr Video is available as a software encoder for Linux, either on-premise or in the cloud,

which accepts most common video files as input, and outputs the same file with an optimized

H.264 video stream. It is also possible to use our technology as a controller for an existing

H.264 HW encoder.


We have the only technology that guarantees preservation of subjective quality when

reducing video bitrates. The technology has already been implemented in an image

optimization product line (see www.jpegmini.com), and is covered by 42 patent applications.

Our technology can reduce video bitrates by 20-40% for streaming content, and up to 75%

for Blu-ray content.

Celeno provides high performance Wi-Fi chips and software for HD multimedia and entertainment home networking applications.


Today’s 802.11n Wi-Fi falls short of meeting the challenging requirements of carrier-grade (video-grade) multimedia home networking in terms of whole home coverage, robustness and interference resilience and multiple, concurrent HD streams capacity. While the emerging 802.11ac version of Wi-Fi promises to deliver increased speed and throughput, and video distribution is touted as its primary use, it still does not fully solve the challenge of streaming multiple and concurrent flicker-free HD video streams in the home with wire-like quality.

Our Offering

Celeno’s extensive chip portfolio and OptimizAIR™ technology enable the wireless distribution of multiple and simultaneous HD video streams throughout the home and across multiple screens with the highest levels of performance and reliability while ensuring a superlative quality of service and user experience.


Celeno’s OptimizAIR™ technology enables the sustained and uninterrupted delivery of robust HD video with whole-home coverage. It significantly increases range and coverage while maintaining a robust signal with effectively no packet loss. It eliminates packet error rate in congested networks by intelligently managing the available bandwidth to provide a better user experience. Celeno’s solution is client agnostic and delivers HD performance to any third-party Wi-Fi client device.

Operators, broadcasters and content owners understand that launching a TV application on multiple devices is relatively easy. How to monetize their service further, is a much more complex challenge. Other challenges include how to create a personalized service where each end user has access to their own viewing history, recommendations and favorites and how to provide a social TV experience with social integrations which enhance rather than interrupt the viewing experience.

Our Offering

The Tvinci backend platform for pay OTT TV manages all of the key components which come together to create a truly flexible second generation OTT service with extensive user experience management, including: content, users, devices, multi-DRM, analytics, financial reports, syndication, personal zone & self-care, social network integrations, recommendations engines, search tools and client templates.


Established in 2007 with the advent of OTT TV, Tvinci understands the fundamental challenges faced by OTT TV operators. Tvinci is the natural choice for Tier 1 operators and broadcasters looking to enter the OTT TV space due to our unique differentiators, which include:• Fast time to market – 4-6 months.• Richest feature set in the market allow us to provide our customers with quality monetization features, including multiple usage models and interactions with social networks.

The Tvinci solution was built from scratch just as the market was beginning to understand the definition of OTT and the challenges facing operators and media companies that wanted to enter the OTT TV space. Only a product which is designed to fit the OTT value chain, can address the relevant challenges in an efficient and holistic way. The entire Tvinci approach considers the business landscape and considers the platform through the eyes of the end-user to understand what would compel someone to consume content on a TV service.Tvinci’s platform is much more than a content management system – in one centralized place, Tvinci customers can manage households and their individual users and devices with the multi-DRM solution for both live and VOD content. Additionally, the platform includes an extensive user experience management module as well as the Tvinci SocialHub which feeds relevant social activity from an end-user’s social networks, into the system for recommendations and social networking.Unlike others in the OTT backend space, the Tvinci platform is deployed for customers and all demonstrations are unbranded versions of real live customer deployments: Tvinci has no demo-ware, just real, live deployments.

VideoFlow’s product portfolio enables the delivery of affordable and scalable live HD quality video content over any packet transport network including standard Internet connections.


VideoFlow recognized early that watching live content over the Internet cloud is increasing exponentially and that consumers are fully expecting to replicate their TV watching experience anywhere, anytime, on any media capable glass; smart phones, phablets, and tablets. Teleports, Content Delivery Network (CDN) providers, and Mobile operators realized that two major limiting factors impeding live content everywhere are the cost of live content delivery and the end users’ poor viewing experience. This was particularly evident during the 2012 Eurocap match, the Olympic Games, and the NFL Super Bowl where high quality live content delivery over the Internet was put to test and was found needed.

Solution at a GlanceProvides real-time visualization of virtual crowd for any broadcast on any screen• Add-on for Web Broadcasts• 2nd Screen App• Smart TV AppVodience‘s virtual audience creates a unique, brand-new live-audience experience which dramatically increases the retained viewer numbers, consumption time and general engagement.


Despite many attempts to use a variety of applications and social plug-ins, TV broadcasters and web publishers are struggling to find new and unique ways to attract, retain and engage their viewers. Two main reasons for this:Obsolete and Limited Interaction Features: During a broadcast, viewers are limited to basic features such as writing comments via social applications and participating in polls and voting widgets.Lack of a “Live” Experience: In highly viewed broadcasts, such as major sporting events and reality shows, the potential in the huge audience number stays unutilized. The viewers cannot “feel” the massive crowd that watches the show with them and there is no method of sensing the overall crowd’s state of mind and energy.

Our Offering

To the viewers:• Individual and general audience visualization which genuinely reflects real viewers • Rich social interaction with content by making visual gestures with the virtual identity, texting and rating• Real Time overall audience visual feedback reflection• Personalized crowd view – the ability of the user to shape and modify his crowd composition according to his preferencesTo the broadcasters/publishers• Social tool that keeps the audience far more engaged to the broadcasted content

• Innovative concept for generating new revenue streams from advertisers, sponsors and the audience itself


Vodience is the only player to create a real-live audience experience for online and TV viewers. The visualization of the audience opens a vast new feature-set that captures the viewers and increases their engagement and consumption time. These features simply do not exist in any other social plug-in or 2nd screen application. None of these players are attempting to provide a collective crowd experience, or to face the challenges when visualizing a mass-audience crowd.Our field trials demonstrate 300% extension of the average user screen time.


• Happy (Stickier) customers becoming advocates• Increased Advertisement/Analytics revenue from: - increased viewing time - increased/retained users - reduced churn - knowledge on users and trends for Brands, etc to target offers• New revenue from ‘Crowd’ and sponsorship - Branded real estate - Stadium, Energy Meter etc. - Personalized Event Persona’s (PEPs) - Direct selling through app - shirts, caps etc.Virtual Goods and Premium – special virtual identity design, special gestures, specialprivileges (e.g. crowd leader)
