MX4 Advanced Video Compression Technology

The Multicast Labs compression engine, MX4, represents a breakthrough in compression technology.

There are two secrets that are the foundation for a host of benefits. First, the compression engine utilizes several break-throughs in vector and matrix math that dramatically reduces file sizes. The second is a set of break-throughs that optimize the interaction between the compression engine and the operating environment.

Together, with a number of other innovations, the MX4 compression engine offers:

  • Significantly reduced file sizes
  • The best video quality at any given bit rate
  • Reduced bandwidth costs by up to 70%
  • Improved PSNR rates by up to 30%

 Technology Comparison

In looking at video compression technologies people normally look at the PSNR data for a given video clip at various bit rates. Here is a sample of a test run on the Matrix clip for both MX4 and the best H.264 codec.

 

PSNR Data for Matrix
Bit Rate MX4 H.264 Delta
600K 49.35 40.00 23%
750K 50.63     40.80  24%
1,250K 52.30   42.00   25%
1,800K 53.01   43.00   23%
2,200K 53.30  43.60   22%
