Beamr began in 2009 by the serial technologist Sharon Carmel who counts two previous startup exits to his credit which include a digital graphics and imaging technology company that rocketed to a $7 billion valuation on the London stock exchange, and a cloud synchronization company acquired by Phoenix Technologies. Beamr operates offices around the world in Tel Aviv Israel, St. Petersburg Russia, and Palo Alto California. This guarantees the highest level of support for our enterprise customers, MSOs, mobile operators, online video distributors, and OVPs expect.
Beamr solutions provide up to a 35% network reclamation by reducing the file and stream sizes of video traffic using Beamr’s class-leading HEVC and H.264 Beamr 4x and Beamr 5x codecs. Beamr provides the best video quality at the lowest bitrate for telcos and public networks and managed service platforms seeking to reduce video bandwidth utilization on the network backbone and edge.
The Beamr perceptual quality measure is based on a proprietary, low complexity, highly reliable, perceptually aligned quality metric that is covered by thirty-three granted patents. The existence of this special quality measure enables controlling a video encoder to output a stream with the maximum compression possible while maintaining the original video resolution, format and visual quality. CABR does this by controlling the compression level of each frame in the video sequence in such a way that it is compressed to the maximum while producing a visual result that is the same as the quality that was originally specified.
Routinely, quality claims are made by vendors and service providers, yet the methodology for verifying them are rarely disclosed. At Beamr, we checked more info our perceptual quality claim using a known International standard that provides Beamr customers the confidence to embrace Beamr perceptual optimization technology. If you view a video encoded using the VBR rate-control and a video encoded with the CABR rate-control side-by-side, they will appear identical to the human eye under normal viewing conditions. This claim has been certified by numerous Hollywood golden eyes including those from Sony Pictures, Warner Bros., and NBCUniversal. In addition, Beamr performed a full battery of ITU BT.500 testing which proved the result of CABR to be perceptually identical to the original file or targeted quality. Go to beamr.com to discover how Beamr pioneered this new category of CAE content-adaptive encoding and optimization, using CABR.
Massive advances have been made in software encoding, video codecs, and tools, yet the pace of video growth on the network is expanding faster than the availability of CPUs, causing silicon encoding solutions using GPUs, FPGAs, and ASICs to come back into focus. Beamr silicon accelerated CABR encoding opens new opportunities with very low TCO for mobile, edge, and cloud applications. The work Beamr is doing on silicon is closing the gap between the high performance of hardware encoders, and the complexity of advanced algorithms like CABR which traditionally were only able to be implemented in software on a CPU.
