Codecs are essential for a multimedia architecture.
Codecs enable demultiplexing, decoding, processing, encoding, multiplexing, and rendering of streams.
As addition to the core architecture of the Network-Integrated Multimedia Middleware (NMM), Motama offers a large number of
professional high-quality codecs encapsulated in NMM plug-ins (called 'Nodes').
In providing codecs for NMM, Motama follows a strict best-of-breed strategy.
|
We continously monitor the market and evaluate codecs provided by various suppliers for all operating systems and hardware platforms supported by NMM. |
|
We integrate only the best codecs in terms of quality and performance -
or, we implement the codecs by ourselves if we found available solutions to not fulfill our requirements. |
|
If more than one competitive implementation of a single codec is available, we offer all alternatives to our customers and
allow for comparing different implementations in terms of quality vs. performance vs. features vs. price. |
|
Whenever a better implementation of a codec becomes available, we update our existing NMM plug-in 'under the hood' without any
need to update customers' applications. |
|
For codecs covered by patents and licenses, Motama provides 100% legal opportunities for running these codecs within
the commercial closed-source version of NMM on all
supported operating systems: Windows, Max OS X, and Linux. A list of all available commercial codecs is available here. |
|
Motama also offers patent-free codecs and royalty-free implementations,
for NMM under dual-licensing.
If compatible with the underlying license, this allows for including these codecs into
proprietary closed-source applications. A list of these codecs is available here. |
Our best-of-breed codec strategy provides following benefits for our customers.
|
As a major benefit of this strategy, our customers always have access to the latest and finest
codecs available, for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. |
|
Customers no longer need to tackle the difficulties of incompatible and low-level programming interfaces of different implementations.
Codecs of various suppliers can be combined within one application and can be controlled using consistent high-level interfaces. |
|
With its unique network-transparent multimedia architecture, NMM even allows for combining codecs available for only
certain platforms in distributed media processing flow graphs and thereby enables true cross-platform applications. Of course, all advanced features of
NMM are available when using the codecs, such as clustering support and synchronized distributed rendering of audio video content. |
