Mission
Vweb Corporation (“Vweb” or the “Company”) is
a fabless semiconductor company focused
on MPEG and broadband video networking technologies for the consumer
electronics market. Its mission is to be the leading digital
media compression and decompression solution provider for video
distribution and storage.
Technology
Vweb technology
enables cost-effective distribution of video over a wide variety of
networks. The integrated technology will help enabling network
equipment and service providers to deliver value-added services such
as streaming video with multicasting technology, video on demand and
video conferencing.
Vweb has many
patents pending for Motion Estimation, Rate Control, and
System-on-a-Chip (SOC) algorithms and architectures, which enable us
to make the world's best MPEG-1,-2,-4 and H.263 A/V, H.264 AVC and
WMV9 Encoder, Decoder, and CODEC/Transcoder, from Full D1 to High
Definition resolutions.
Products and
Goals - Current Products
Vweb’s current
products primarily target the IP-STB, Digital Surveillance, digital
home and Multimedia PC markets. Its products include:
-
VW2010 - the first MPEG-1, 2, 4 and H.263 A/V
CODEC/Transcoder, with full-D1 and interlaced video support
-
VW2005 - The Encoder version of the VW2010,
pin-compatible to VW2010
-
VW2002 - The decoder version of the VW2010,
pin-compatible to VW2010
-
VW3010 - MPEG-1, 2, 4 and H.263 A/V CODEC/Transcoder,
with Full-D1, Quad SIF and Dual HD1 multiple streams, MPEG-4 ASP
and PIP/PIG interlaced video and Direct Mapped OSD support,
pin-compatible to VW2010
-
VW4012 – MPEG-1, 2, 4 and H.263 A/V CODEC/Transcoder,
H.264 SD Decode, with same new features of VW3010
-
VW4010 – MPEG-1, 2, 4 and H.263 / H.264 SD and VC1
A/V CODEC/Transcoder with the same new features of VW3010 and
interlaced and progressive video support
-
VW5010 MPEG-1,-2,-4 and H.263
A/V/S QUAD-D1 CODEC Chip
Vweb’s current compression solution is designed to
support four specific goals:
-
MPEG4 CODEC with D1
resolution to reduce storage and bandwidth requirements while
preserving DVD quality video. MPEG-4 requires about half the
bandwidth of MPEG-2.
-
Transcoding among 4
video standards (MPEG-1, 2, 4, and H.263) and 9 audio standards
(including L1, L2, MP3, AC3, AAC, G.711, G.726, G.729 and WMA).
Transcoding allows for transport over different bandwidth
environments without sacrificing video quality. This enables end to
end delivery of digital media over any networks including the last
mile broadband, wireless LAN and wireless networks.
-
Guaranteed audio and
video synchronization with clock recovery, low latency and strong
error resiliency under real networking environments.
-
Advanced motion
estimation and rate control algorithms with dynamic parameter
adjustment to enable high QoS with the best price performance.
Next
Generation Products
Vweb’s
new products primarily target the IP-STB and digital home markets.
Its products include:
Vweb’s new compression solution is designed to
support four specific goals:
1)
MPEG-4 ASP CODEC / Transcoder with D1 resolution to
reduce storage and bandwidth requirements while preserving DVD
quality video. MPEG-4 ASP requires about half the bandwidth and
storage of MPEG-2; It also improves the video quality with
De-blocking filter.
2)
H.264 Base Profile / Main Profile / High Profile and
VC1 Advanced Profile (“AP”) with SD and HD interlaced and
progressive video support for IP-STB and Digital TV home market.
3)
H.264 will use about half the bandwidth and storage
of MPEG-4 Simple Profile (“SP”) in VW2010 and also H.264, VC1 and
MPEG-2 are the de-facto standards for DTV and HD-DVD.
4)
MPEG-1, 2, 4 and H.263 / H.264 A/V CODEC/Transcoder
will solve the H.264 content shortage issue with Transcoding from
MPEG-2 to H.264 for Video On Demand (“VoD”) applications.
Vweb’s Target
Markets
Vweb
products can be applied to consumer, communication and personal
computer markets. We are currently addressing the following three
market segments: IP based Set-top Box, digital home and Multimedia
PC.
Vweb’s
Strategic Partners
Toshiba
Toshiba has successfully developed two generations of IP-STB and
Home gateway reference designs using TOSHIBA MIPS processor and Vweb
VW2010 chip. For Middleware partners for this reference design
include Espial IPTV and Web Browser solution from Ottawa,
Canada; TVblob from Italy that offers a complete library of core
application software for video conferencing and video streaming
applications and SkipJam for digital home solutions. Vweb will work
with Toshiba in launching new generations of reference designs using
VW3010 and VW4012 with Toshiba’s recently announced TX4939 CPU.
Vweb and Toshiba IP-STB reference design was chosen
by Sumitomo Networks in Japan. The Sumitomo IP-STB has been chosen
by NTT for VOD and Broadcasting applications.
Intel
Intel has chosen the
VW2005 as the encoder of choice of the Intel Home Gateway platform
with its Xscale and IA processors code named Gurney Drive. The
Gurney Drive reference design was launched in Intel Development
Forum in Tokyo,
Shanghai,
Taiwan and San Francisco during the summer of 2005. Middleware
partners for this reference design include Syabas and Oregan
Networks.
IBM
IBM-China has
developed a turnkey solution based on IBM PowerPC processor and the
Vweb VW2010 for IP-STB with VoD, video phone and VoIP capabilities.
IBM also supports the dual mode IP-STB with DVB-C functions in CNC,
Hangzhou VoD service now. IBM is also engaging with major Telcos in
Asia,
like CNC, for VoD deployments.
Taifatech
/ NewSoft
Working with Taifatech Inc and NewSoft, Vweb is
pioneering Wireless AV Capture for the PC market. Vweb is currently
working with Taifatech on WiFi-TV. Unlike USB2.0 AV Capture
peripherals, which require USB2.0 cable connectivity, WiFi-TV AV
Capture module can transmit AV content wirelessly using
802.11a/b/g. WiFi-TV Reference Design’s “Bill-of-material” is only
half of the current available solution from the industry. Vweb has
partnered with NewSoft to provide a complete wireless A/V capture
with integrated MPEG-1,2,4 software player and timeshift recording
engine for the laptop.
