The Beamr team will be at the NAB Show in Las Vegas on April 13-16, and we would love to meet you!

Check out the top 5 reasons to stop by Beamr’s main booth #SU10425, South Upper Hall:

1) Experience first-hand how Beamr Video optimization improves user experience for streaming video while reducing delivery costs.
2) Learn how Beamr can cut video bitrates by up to 50%, while retaining their full resolution and quality.
3) Find out how Beamr fits seamlessly into your existing workflow.
4) T-shirt giveaways. . . have you ever seen an optimized T-shirt?
5) Think you’ve got ‘the eye’? We’ve got two videos. Tell us which is the original video and which is the optimized video.

We’ll also be presenting at the Amazon AWS booth, #SL9016 in the South Lower Hall. This is where we’ll show our cloud solution, which provides fully scalable video optimization capabilities accessible via REST APIs or cloud storage integration. Don’t miss our session on Media Optimization in the Cloud at the Amazon AWS Theater on Tuesday, April 14, at 1:30 PM.

We can’t wait to see you at NAB!

Jan Ozer, one of the world’s top experts on video compression and streaming and Contributing Editor of Streaming Media Magazine, has done a thorough evaluation of Beamr Video using test clips that he encoded. The evaluation included analyzing the quality of the resulting clips using objective measures such as PSNR, SSIM and VQM, and conducting extensive viewing of the optimized clips, assessing their subjective quality compared to the original clips. Following this evaluation, Jan Ozer concludes that “for 99.99% of the expert and average viewers, the Beamr-processed clips would be perceptually identical to their source”.

As for bitrate reduction, Jan has found that Beamr Video was able to reduce the bitrate of his test clips by 50% on average in High Quality mode, and 35% on average in Best Quality mode. Providing such significant bitrate reduction, while producing video clips that are perceptually identical to the source, brings Jan to the following conclusion: “If you’re spending big dollars on bandwidth, Beamr represents an opportunity to reduce it significantly, essentially delivering the benefit of HEVC/VP9 without the implementation hassles”.

Jan Ozer has worked in digital video since 1990, and is the author of over 20 books on video compression, editing and production, which have been adopted as textbooks by multiple colleges and universities. As Contributing Editor at Streaming Media Magazine, Jan has reviewed most cloud, enterprise and desktop encoding tools, and has worked with many online video platforms (OVPs) and live streaming services.
