Actimagine
Chooses Rhozet for Mobile
Transcoding Platform
San Jose, Calif.
(October 2, 2006) - Rhozet
Corporation today announced that its
Carbon Coder video transcoding
technology has been selected by
mobile video pioneer Actimagine for
online transcoding. Rhozet's
automated transcoding software
allows Actimagine's partners to
conveniently and remotely prepare
full-length movies for playback on
mobile devices.
Actimagine is the
creator of Mobiclip(tm), a patented
power-efficient software video codec
that enables full motion video
playback on low-power devices such
as cell phones and handheld game
consoles. Mobiclip is currently used
by media companies, including Sony
Pictures Digital, to provide
full-length feature movies on
removable memory cards for cell
phones.
Actimagine chose
Rhozet's video transcoding
technology to support the growing
amount of content being transcoded
to Mobiclip format. "Rhozet's video
transcoding technology is the
perfect solution for our mobile
video transcoding platform," said
André Pagnac, CEO of Actimagine.
"It is a fast, flexible, and
cost-effective solution that helps
us provide the remote transcoding
services our partners in the motion
picture industry need to make their
movies accessible to the mobile
market."
"Actimagine is
breaking new ground in the expanding
video world and we're thrilled that
they have chosen Carbon Coder as the
platform for their new mobile
transcoding service," said David
Trescot, CEO of Rhozet.
Rhozet Carbon Coder
is a universal transcoding
application that facilitates the

the boundaries of video on mobile.
