From rob.koenen m4if.org Sun May 4 22:42:27 2003 From: rob.koenen m4if.org (Rob Koenen (M4IF)) Date: Wed Jul 23 13:58:50 2003 Subject: [M4IF News] MPEG-4 News Digest week 18 Message-ID: (To people that do no receive this in HTML format: this digest will be online shortly here: http://www.m4if.org/public/documents/vault/m4if-digest-30018.php) Sunday, 4 May 2024 - MPEG-4 News Digest week 18, 2003 MPEG-4 News Readers, A lot of news this week around Apple's release of its online music store, based on MPEG-4 AAC. The popular iPod now supports AAC in MP4 file format. Many tools in the Apple ecosystem were released with support for MPEG-4 AAC. QuickTime 6 already supported the format. (Brief note on the side: MPEG AAC was developed by MPEG, not by Dolby. The wording in Apple's press release is unfortunate, leading to misrepresentation in the press.) Singapore Exhibition Services, organizer of Broadcast Asia 2003, has decided to forego the 2003 edition of the event which was scheduled for June 17-20 in Singapore. CommunicAsia2003 will also be cancelled. This is a severe blow to business as usual in one of the Asian region's key markets and one of its most widely attended shows. Given the situation around Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in Singapore and other parts of Asia, exhibitors and visitors alike had expressed concerns about their safety at the show. The next BroadcastAsia is scheduled to take place from 15-18 June 2004. M4IF will hold its next (annual) membership meeting on 26 and 27 June in Montreal. Contact Paul Ritchie if you are a non-member interested in joining M4IF and want to sample this meeting. SARS concerns have been raised, and we are monitoring the situation closely. M4IF's Board emphasizes that no SARS cases have been reported in Montreal and that the city is 600 km. from Toronto.

Sony created a stir last week with its announcement of the PSP, "the Walkman of the 21st Century.", a portable, wide-screen device with a 1.8 GByte optical disk that can store several high quality movies. The announcements mentions the video format is MPEG-4 - I assume it would be AVC seeing the target release date. Third party publications claim it supports AAC as one of the audio codecs. It's going to be a bit of a wait - the device is scheduled for release in Q4 '04. Remember M4IF's (annual) membership meeting on 26, 27 June in Montreal, Canada.

It wasn't released on an wire service as far as I can see, and didn't receive much attention. More MPEG-4 products this week - Sharp released two new Zaurus models and a 1 Megapixel camera/phone; a new MPEG-4 Jukebox that both encodes and decodes was announced from LYRA (I4U calls it a "must have"); D-Link has a WiFi product with integrated MPEG-4 encoding for surveillance. Also on the product front, Sigma Designs announced that its DVD decoder chips with MPEG-4 Video support are finding their way into many new DVD models. An interesting question on M4IF's Technotes list has resulted in a list of over 20 software players that understand MPEG-4. Details on the resources pages shortly. M4IF's (annual) membership meeting is on 26, 27 June in Montreal, Canada. Non-members can contact Paul Ritchie to sample this meeting.
