South San Francisco, CA – August 26, 2008 – Envivio, the leading technology provider of IP video convergence encoding solutions from mobile to HD, today announced that the BBC selected Envivio video encoders to deliver live video feeds of the Beijing Olympic Games to its production staff in the UK. The encoders were selected for their ability to deliver high quality video in very low bit rates for delivery over IP networks. The encoders for the Olympics are in addition to other applications where the BBC employs Envivio encoders, including live video contribution for the nightly news

“Managing available bandwidth is critical to any live production, doubly so when faced with the multiple simultaneous venues of a singular event like the Olympics,” said Julien Signès, President and CEO of Envivio. “We are very pleased that the BBC again came to Envivio for a solution that combines high quality video with very low bandwidth to meet the challenge of this high profile event.”

Envivio encoders power many low bandwidth, high definition and standard definition IP and satellite-delivered video networks around the world.  Advanced features such as Envivio’s exclusive Extreme Compression technology allows its encoder to combine the industry-leading low end-to-end latency performance with bandwidth savings of as much as 30%. The result is the ability to deliver high quality news and sports feeds at well under 2 Mbps. An independent audio channel capability allows a second, completely independent audio stream to be sent alongside the video stream to enable TV and radio feeds to be sent simultaneously over the same link.  Enhanced store and forward capability allows content to be recorded at higher bandwidths and then fed to the studio over lower bandwidth links.

Envivio will be demonstrating its encoding solution for the Three Screens at IBC 2008 in Amsterdam from September 12-16, 2008.  Visit the Envivio booth 5.A19 during IBC or our website at www.envivio.com
