What is iSIZE?

iSIZE BitSave offers substantial savings on AWS, allowing users to cut costs by $176 for every 5,000 viewers per hour. Leading the way in deep learning technology for video distribution, iSIZE has developed an advanced deep perceptual ‘precoder’ that employs artificial intelligence to improve visual fidelity while simultaneously lowering video bitrate during encoding. The primary offering, BitSave, is available as a SaaS solution at bitsave.tech and also supports on-premise installations, boasting the ability to reduce encoding bitrates by up to 40% without compromising the perceived quality of the video. This cutting-edge technology can be easily integrated as an add-on to conventional video encoding workflows, including formats like AVC, HEVC, and AV1, and requires no changes to existing streaming setups or client devices. Consequently, it provides impressive reductions in bandwidth usage, energy expenditure, and overall costs for video-on-demand and live streaming services, benefiting both broadcasters and viewers alike. To gain further insights into their innovative contributions, potential users can view their presentation at the AOMedia Research Forum or dive into one of their early preprints for additional information. Such advancements highlight the potential of AI to transform video delivery into a more efficient and cost-effective process.

What is Alchemist X?

Alchemist X is a cloud-native frame rate and video standards conversion platform developed by Grass Valley for professional broadcasting, live media production, and international content distribution. The software uses eighth-generation motion-compensated processing technology to convert video between broadcast standards while preserving image sharpness, motion continuity, and visual detail. Its algorithms analyze movement between frames to minimize conversion artifacts such as judder, ghosting, and unnatural motion during complex video sequences. Alchemist X provides multiple frame rate conversion options, including motion-compensated and linear processing, to accommodate different production requirements and performance considerations. The platform supports standard definition, HD, 1080p, and UHD 2160p formats, along with resolution upconversion, downconversion, and crossconversion. HDR and SDR processing includes color space transformation, HLG and PQ support, and custom lookup tables for maintaining consistent color reproduction across different delivery formats. Video processing capabilities include alias suppression, linear enhancement, picture adjustment controls, RGB legalizing, logo insertion, closed caption support, and ancillary data handling. Its audio engine processes up to 16 channels with configurable gain, channel mapping, and delay adjustments to maintain synchronization between audio and converted video. The platform performs real-time conversion of live media streams, allowing organizations to deliver international feeds and multiple video formats simultaneously within a production workflow. Alchemist X integrates with Grass Valley's AMPP environment and provides an HTML5 control interface that supports remote management and access by multiple operators.
