IMPROVED INTEL SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGY BOOSTS PC VIDEO PLAYBACK
PERFORMANCE AND PICTURE QUALITY
32 Licensees for Intel's Indeo(TM) Video Technology Also
Announced
NEW YORK, June 29, 1993 -- Intel Corporation today announced
enhancements to its IndeoTM video software technology that boost
picture clarity, color reproduction and software-only playback
performance of Indeo video compressed files.
Indeo video is an advanced compression/decompression software
technology that allows for scalable, software-only video playback
on Intel processor based personal computers.
Video playback is two times faster than with earlier versions of
the technology. As a result, PCs equipped with an Intel486(TM)
DX2 or Pentium(TM) processor are able to playback in full screen
mode (using software only) a file captured and compressed by an
Intel Smart Video Recorder in real-time at 320 x 240 at 15 frames
per second. In addition, the built-in scalability of Indeo
technology adjusts the frame rate depending on the computer's
performance capabilities. This allows users to play Indeo video
files on any Intel 486 SX or DX processor-based PC.
"The latest enhancements significantly improve the level of video
quality that can be achieved on a PC without expensive video add-on
hardware," said Claude Leglise, video brand marketing director at
Intel. "The new and improved Indeo video technology delivers
excellent picture playback on a full range of systems. And the
combination of Indeo video and Intel's recently announced Smart
Video Recorder means users can capture and compress a video file
in a single step, saving time and money."
Compatibility and Availability
The latest version of Indeo video is fully compatible with any file
created using earlier versions of the technology. The new enhanced
Indeo video will be available in August. Registered Intel Smart
Video Recorder owners will receive update disks free of charge.
Licensed users may also download the updated software by calling
Intel's on-line bulletin board service at 916-356-3600.

Manager, and Apple Computer's QuickTime*), more than 20 companies
