Most people realise that under a government, laws and regulations will be introduced, but under the Labour government’s thirteen years in power, 4,300 regulations were introduced and some are quite strange while other are just plain scary.

But with a new government comes new ideas and one idea from the Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, is the Your Freedom website where anyone can suggest an end to some of the more crazy rules that are in place in the UK.

There are plenty to choose from and Nick Clegg has promised to take a close look at the ten most popular and workable suggestions.

Now is the chance for the public to have their say. This is an opportunity of a lifetime and should not be wasted.

Even Technologies Inc. a company specializing in advanced digital image and video coding techniques, announced that the company will be delivering its first end-to-end Internet Protocol television, or IPTV, system to Silver Star Telephone Company in Freedom, WY. The Even TechnologiesTM PSI_VTM solution uses a revolutionary compression technology built on a patented system powered by the Pixelworks BSP-15TM Broadband Signal Processor ICs for delivering real-time broadcast television and video-on-demand applications.

Even has designed an IPTV system that employs BSP-15TM chips throughout the deployment in both the encoding and decoding roles, utilizing the fully programmable, video-centric architecture of the processor to implement its proprietary PSITM video codec that enables DVD-quality video at 750 kbps, roughly half the bit rate needed for H.264 or VC1. Even’s dmetm video encoder headend tasks multiple BSP-15TM chips to encode content in real-time from QCIF up to HD resolution.

With its higher level of integration, the PWBSP-16TM will further reduce the total system bill of materials while allowing Even and Silver Star to deploy an HD-compatible set-top box.

“Our participation in early IPTV roll-outs, such as this one with Even Technologies, is important for us to grow our experience and knowledge base in the IPTV market. We see this as the future, and our ability to customer-harden our solutions will help us as we work to integrate IPTV functions from the set-top box to the television set itself,” said Brett Monello, Vice President, Video and Image Processing at Pixelworks, Inc. “We are excited to work with Even Technologies which is introducing exciting enhancements that are bringing the IPTV model to reality through its proprietary codecs.”
