IRVINE , Calif. - Feb 21, 2005 Digital Video Enterprises, Inc. (DVE)
DVE, the world’s leader in True Telepresence conferencing, announced today that the firm has officially opened its Telepresence Lab in its Orange County facility which is a part of the Rockefeller Gateway Technology Solutions complex. The lab has access to a highly developed and secure IP infrastructure. DVE has opened the Lab to offer expert review of next generation codecs offered by established, as well as new upstart codec manufacturers. “It is critical that before major corporations and organizations deploy the new generation of codecs and engage multi-million dollar contracts that they have an expert and independent comparative analysis. The service is unique in the conferencing industry and is vital for firms poised to purchase next generation codecs that they do not make million dollar mistakes deploying the wrong or an obsolete codec for their enterprises” according Dr. Steve McNelley, co founder of DVE.

The videoconferencing industry is now in the midst of major changes with new and established companies announcing DVD and HDTV quality codecs at low bandwidths available months after their announcements. DVE is the world’s leader in high-end videoconferencing and has installed True DVD quality videoconferencing and HDTV videoconferencing around the globe for over a half a decade. DVE’s expertise and extensive experience is vital to help major organizations and corporations make intelligent strategic decisions regarding the video codec their communication infrastructure will rely upon.

According to Dr. McNelley, “We are excited to see so much competitive energy in the industry which is driving codec innovation. We are also very pleased to have the cooperation from the major codec manufacturers who recognize that our objective analysis assists in propelling further innovation and improvements of their products.” DVE is now consulting with major corporations and organizations offering their expert analysis and assisting with strategic technology deployment plans.
