Technology: Dilithium unveils content adapter for real-time mobile video

Petaluma, California (BUSINESS WIRE) - Dilithium, the global leader in high-quality multimedia delivery over mobile and broadband networks, today announced the Dilithium Content Adapter (DCA), a high capacity and scalable solution that automates the real-time adaptation and delivery of video content over multiple networks to any device. Dilithium's patented technologies perform real-time, on demand media conversion with minimal latency, avoiding the need for costly off-line transcoding. DCA enables service providers and content owners to deliver a superior customer experience, increase revenue streams, and attract and retain new customers with minimum capital investment.

With the growth of sophisticated phones like the iPhone, video sites such as YouTube and WiFi and 3G networks, consumers are increasingly downloading videos onto their phones. Consequently, mobile and broadband service providers are faced with the pressure to provide dynamic, high-quality content to their subscriber's over multiple networks, to any device.

Until today, service providers were unable to effectively deliver interactive, 2-way multimedia content to wireless and broadband devices.

The traditional process involves customized coding for each device and network type such as 2.5G, 3G, WiFi or WiMAX, which restricted real-time downloads, and is resource intensive as it requires extensive human interaction and expensive capital investment in servers and storage.

"As multimedia content becomes more widely available and the diversity of devices continues to grow, traditional methods of delivery are no longer the only way to offer content," said Michelle Abraham, principal analyst at In-Stat.

"Consumer demand for content with low latency and high quality will drive service providers to find solutions that will easily offer quality content to their subscribers over multiple networks and devices.""Dilithium is committed to delivering high-quality multimedia services and applications across any network to any device," said Paul Zuber, CEO of Dilithium. "The Dilithium Content Adaptor is an efficient and flexible solution to serve growing market demand for mobile multimedia content."

Dilithium's DCA is available as of May 12, 2008.
