Anything beyond basic playing video clips off the hard drive or from a URL requires expertize in real-time, multi-threaded buffer locking, complex parsing, algorithm development, Low level optimization, network performance and protocols. Video software in general is very critical of latency and performance.

Realizing that development and debugging of video code has been a key stubling block for many companies, Video Technology Magazine has assembled a video development group made up of experienced software and hardware developers that specialize in all aspects of analog and digital video as well as image processing.

With offices in Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Minnesota (U.S.), and Bangalore, India. Video Technology Magazine Services is focused on video software development on Linux, Unix, Windows and many embedded systems platforms as well as Cell Phones and PDA's. Our team members have worked on Digital Cinema, HDTV, Satellite, all the way down to low bandwidth cellphones. We specialized on Compression and streaming as well as motion image processing and correction. Our relationships with many companies and experts in this field allow VTS to provide exceptional service.
