COMPRESSING CODECS Mobile and video technology development company, Interdigital, has announced CompressAI, a new software for simplifying AI-based video compression research. The solution allows researchers to quickly design, train, test and evaluate AI-based codecs. The open-source platform, recently released to the video compression research and standards communities, is already being used to support the development of next-generation image and video codecs. “Interdigital has developed the CompressAI platform to simplify and speed up the process of deep video compression research, allowing teams to test and evaluate AI-based codecs quickly and accurately. By making our platform publicly available, we hope to be able to support the incredibly important work research teams are doing to bring the next generation of video compression standards,” said Jean Bolot, vice-president of the AI Lab at Interdigital. CompressAI automates a large proportion of the research process of the next generation of image and video codecs, to accelerate the development and evaluation of candidate neural network architectures in deep video compression research.

IP TRANSPORT SERVICE M2A Media has announced the release of the M2A Connect Source Selector, which is the latest addition to its cloud IP transport service, M2A Connect. Aiming to enhance the capabilities of M2A Connect, the selector now gives rights owners the ability to offer broadcasters a larger selection of content on a self-serve basis. The rights owner can set up

subscription options that then allow the broadcaster to view and select from a range of live feeds, all the time maintaining control over what content is made available. M2A Connect itself was launched in May of 2020, which enabled broadcasters and rights owners to easily manage and monitor B2B live

by AWS Elemental live video transport solutions. On top of this, M2A’s Source Selector streamlines interactions between rights owners and subscribers, and subscribers have the ability to take control when routing feeds into their own infrastructure.
