eneration cellular service. Currently, about 70 percent of consumers in India have 2G cellular service. The 9 percent of customers in India with 3G cellular are able to receive high definition (HD) that requires only 2.5 to 3.5Mbps rather than 9Mbps. Prior to FastFilmz's use of V-NOVA's PERSEUS two thirds of people in India could not receive any streaming video because of 2G's low capacity. Concentration camp survivors' testimony-At the University of Southern California, GFWX compression is used to manage storage of videos compiled by the New Dimensions in Testimony project. The videos are clips of remembrances by survivors of World War II concentration camps. The U.S. Army Research Laboratory and the USC Shoah Foundation sponsored the project. Plug-Ins for Software Upgrades and Decompression The use of plug-ins enables compression applications to transmit upgrades to devices using their software. Plug- www.TechnicalPDF.com ins are small programs used to ease sending upgrades to devices. Plug-ins can additionally decode compressed images and files sent over networks, thus avoiding the need to install hardware at customers' sites to decompress received files such as images, videos and text. A plug-in is a small computer file that enables a computer application to work with and receive changes from its parent program. Programmers encode plug-ins at the sending and receiving ends of applications such as browsers and compression software. An example of how a plug-in is deployed is Netflix transmitting plug-in upgrades when they upgrade their software. In a similar way as Netflix, PERSEUS transmits any changes to its software via plug-ins sent to customer devices. V-NOVA and Netflix can tweak their software without requiring customers to make any changes because the changes to the plug-ins are transparent to end- user devices, e.g., set-top boxes, smartphones, computers, and head-mounted displays used for virtual reality.
