Apple recently announced their shift to the M1 chip, part of an ongoing trend to replace the long-standing x86 CPU with customized ARM processors. Microsoft and other OEMs have also been releasing an increasing number of devices powered by ARM chips, such as the Surface.

How to Navigate Today’s Bandwidth-Constrained, Multi-Codec World
In many ways, 2020 has forced us to rethink norms we’d previously known to be true. But when it comes to video delivery, the primary concerns and demands from 2019 remain the same, if not elevated by the pandemic: bandwidth is still limited and consumer demand is still growing. And with people continuing to consume increased levels of content at home, the bandwidth challenge remains. As we look ahead to 2021, content distributors and video service providers must ask themselves: How do we deliver high-quality video at scale efficiently, while maintaining a high-quality user experience? The answer is a bit like 2020 – it’s complicated.

There are four co-founders, who are, first and foremost, a group of friends. V-Nova believes in making the future of digital come alive via better compression – bridging the gap between what we’d like to be able to do and what’s possible today. We have re-thought compression algorithmically from the ground up; we use what’s already there – the hardware blocks that are built into devices – we just unlock their power. There is so much power built into devices that are already in use around the globe, so what we do will benefit 100% of people now. Our PERSEUS Plus technology is also backwards-compatible as well as uplifting the quality of services in new devices, so everyone’s better off with PERSEUS. The group of friends had legacy experiences in the sector – the idea for V-Nova just came out of taking seriously the fact that a new coding approach could...
