“Responding to the growing popularity of the Linux operating
system for its customers’ applications, Vela L.P. today
announced that it is now shipping its MPEG-2 video decoding
solutions with Linux drivers.”
“‘Vela is very attentive to the feedback we get from our users,
and Linux drivers are a feature that many users have asked for,’
said Sunil Arora, Vice President and General Manager of Vela’s OEM
Products Division.”
“The new Linux MPEG-2 decoder drivers will give additional
functionality to Vela’s CineView, CineView Pro, and CineView Pro LE
family of MPEG-2 decoders. Later this year Vela also plans to add
Linux support for its Argus encoding systems. These popular video
compression and decompression solutions are used in ad insertion,
cable headends, video-on-demand, IP multicasting, and many other
digital video applications requiring broadcast-quality 4:2:2 or
4:2:0 encoding and decoding.”
