LAS VEGAS, April 19, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Quartics, the premier provider of video processing solutions enabling streaming media over wireless and wired networks, today announced the availability of a whitepaper on Quartics' Media Coprocessor which simplifies a personal computer's processing of multimedia content, making it easier to decode, edit and view video and audio files while using considerably less power than a computer processor.
"Quartics Media Coprocessor: The Only Solution Capable of Delivering True Universal Media," explains the struggles computers have had in the past in processing, converting and burning standard- and high-definition video. Media processing solutions have been expensive and difficult to manage -- requiring frequent hardware and software upgrades to ensure compatibility with the latest media codecs and also requiring time and energy today's consumers don't have.
"As Internet access increases around the world, more people are sharing content of all types -- and that includes video," said Safi Qureshey, CEO of Quartics. "While video content has become more available with the proliferation of online content, technology hasn't kept up -- and consumers sit at their computers waiting for downloads as they are buffered through various systems. Quartics understands these challenges, and offers a solution -- fully explained in our newly available whitepaper."
The whitepaper discusses the challenges of video processing on personal computers and how using a fraction of the power required by the main computer processor to process video would offload intensive media tasks from the CPU -- taking precious pressure off the CPU, and making the computer run faster on less energy.
