PLEASANTON, CA -- September 15, 2003 - Darim Vision Corp., a fast-growing video compression and network transmission technology company, is keeping pace with the latest developments in MPEG technology by introducing the MPEGator4 real-time multi-format MPEG-4 encoder.

The MPEGator4 joins Darim's renowned MPEGator product line and is the successor to the MPEGator1 capture board as Darim continues to innovate to embrace the newest MPEG video standard technology. To leave no customer or function behind, MPEGator4 supports not only the latest, most complex MPEG-4 audio and video functions, but also MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 formats.

The MPEGator 4 has the same software development kit (SDK) format as its predecessor, the award-winning MPEGator 1. Customers can easily migrate their existing legacy MPEGator 1 systems to encode MPEG 4 content without any modification to their applications.

"MPEG continues to move ahead, as we knew it would. Darim's vision and our product commitment is to move ahead with - and in advance of - technological innovations to guarantee that our customers always have access to state-of-the-art equipment," said John Houston, Darim's Vice President of Marketing. "We believe that MPEG-4, with its enhanced video and audio capabilities, is an important step our customers will be demanding. Anticipating that demand, we introduced MPEGator4."

Professional-Grade Video

MPEGator4 is designed to provide the best video quality at the smallest output file size. It features 9-bit video digitizing, special inter-frame video filtering circuits and professional YUV component input connectors.

"As an MPEG-4 device, MPEGator4 provides outstanding audio quality that will assist users in the most demanding applications such as video content creation, archiving and even video streaming," said Houston.
