US : Dilithium Networks, the leading supplier of 3G multimedia solutions announced today that its innovative DTG200 gateway product, resolves the problem of video corruption between the IP network and 3G network, enabling operators to increase revenue potential by deploying new media rich services.

The DTG2000 incorporates Dilithium Networks' Video RefreshTM, a patent pending technology that minimizes the duration of video corruption due to air interface, interference and noise, while maintaining the highest possible frame rate. In the case of video mail message retrieval and streaming applications, video files are typically stored in a compressed format on a server. Corruptions in the bitstream of a video frame not only affect the present picture being processed but can also affect many subsequent video frames for up to 13 seconds. The local detection of the errors by the video gateway not only simplifies the function of the video-mail server, but also significantly increases the quality of video which is essential for a pleasant user experience. The DTG2000 can detect video corruption during both the deposit and retrieval of messages.

“The ability to minimize video corruption enables service providers to build next-generation converged voice-video networks and create revenue-generating services, especially for video portal and video mail applications,” Lee Ellison, Sr. Vice President of Sales and Marketing of Dilithium Networks.

Dilithium Networks DTG 2000 is a carrier-class multimedia gateway that supports a variety of voice and video protocols, and features smart end-points capability processing to provide transcoding tailored to end-points such as mobile phones, PDAs, IP terminals etc. The DTG 2000 incorporates Dilithium Networks' Unicoding™ technology which enables fast, efficient transcoding while significantly reducing the time delay and compute resources required to transcode between any two media standards.
