NAB Show: Beamr Imaging Presenting AV1 Solution

Beamr Imaging Ltd., a provider of video optimization technology and solutions, will showcase its solution for AV1 (AOMedia Video 1) codec upgrades (along with a simple, competitive pricing plan) at the NAB Show (April 6-9, Las Vegas Convention Center) in Meeting Room SL1730MR.

Beamr’s GPU-accelerated technology “enables scalable, efficient AV1 upgrades with superior performance and high-quality results. While AV1 is an advanced video codec with improved image quality and superior compression, Beamr offers up to 30% additional compression,” Beamr says.

Beamr provides AV1 encoding “at a quarter of the cost or less compared to CPU-based solutions and other alternatives, bringing it in line with AVC (H.264) encoding costs. Readily accessible on cloud platforms such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), as well as private cloud or on-premises environments, Beamr simplifies AV1 adoption for companies working with videos at large scale — across media and entertainment, user-generated content, AI, and more,” the company adds.

Sharon Carmel, Beamr CEO, says: “Available through straightforward, affordable pricing, Beamr removes barriers to AV1 adoption and allows users improved performance while significantly reducing video file sizes without sacrificing quality. Our tests also show that optimized AV1 files by Beamr maintain full accuracy in AI applications such as facial recognition, action detection and enhancing machine learning models.”

Beamr says “AV1 is backed by tech giants within the Alliance for Open Media (AOMedia), and it is widely supported across most operating systems and web browsers, as well as recent smartphone models, smart TVs and more. Despite these advantages, complexity and high adoption costs have limited AV1’s usage.”

Beamr video experts will be available throughout the NAB Show. For one-on-one meetings use this link.
