July 2012, Northwich, Cheshire. Kane Computing Ltd (KCL) announced the signing of an Agreement with Ace Thought Technologies Pvt to develop and expand sales of their state of the art video libraries in the UK.
Ace Thought Technologies is a technology company specialising in Software Video Codecs targeting multimedia solutions. It was founded by the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT, Delhi) Alumni, one of the premier institutes of the world.
Ace Thought provides state of the art software video and audio codecs for battery operated handheld consumer devices, Mobiles and Tablet PCs in particular. Their range of video and audio technologies is available on ARM Cortex (A8, A9 and A15) Single Core and Multicore Processors, Texas Instruments (TI) processors and Intel® multicore processors.
Software Codecs include H.264, VC-1, MPEG-4, H.263 MPEG-2, HE-AAC, AAC and MP3 supporting Operating Systems including Android, Mac OSX, iOS, Linux and Windows.
Richard White, Managing Director of KCL said “I really like these libraries as the unique Multi-Threaded encoders and decoders, optimised for single, dual and quad core processors, offer significantly better performance than competitor products and are highly efficient in terms of speed and memory footprints. For example the VC-1 (WV9) software decoder (which is a mandatory video format for HD-DVD and Blue-Ray) uses under 500MHz of processing power to decode a 1280×720 video at 4Mbps, 24fps using Main Profile”.
The software codecs are ideal for applications such as Smart Phones, in-flight entertainment, automotive, security and communications.
