On2 Technologies Unveils Solution for Delivering Web Video Content to 3GPP Mobile Devices at 3GSM World Congress



TARRYTOWN, N.Y., Feb. 12 /- On2 Technologies, Inc., (AMEX:ONT), a leader in video-compression software and solutions, today unveiled the Flix Engine 3GPP transcoder which converts popular web and user generated content for viewing on 3GPP mobile handsets. Among the desirable features is the ability to convert On2 VP6 files used in Flash video, and dominant in video portals and user generated content, to 3GPP formats.

Flix Engine 3GPP builds on the heritage of On2's Flix Engine 8 as the premier Flash video creation platform based on On2 VP6 codec licensed by Adobe for Flash Player 8. The Flix Engine 3GPP's added capabilities gives video portals, user generated content sites, and service providers the ability to simultaneously create Flash video and 3GPP files for serving mobile and non-mobile users with the leading format for each service.

"For the first time, web content can easily be made available for mobile services," said Bill Joll, president and CEO of On2 Technologies. "On2 VP6 based Flash video has taken the Internet world by storm with the creation of tremendous amounts of new content, but that content was not available on mobile devices until now. The new Flix Engine 3GPP changes that."

On2 Flix Engine is the leading server-based encoding platform for Adobe's Flash Player 8 and used by media companies, service providers and enterprises as a primary Flash video encoding solution. Flix Engine 3GPP will initially support H.263 and AMR-NB 3GPP formats.

On2 Technologies is showcasing its video-compression solutions at Booth No. 7A57, Hall 7, at the 3GSM World Congress through Feb. 15. Executives from On2 are available to meet at the booth.
