ATEME's Gen3 H.264 codec, for the Kyrion series of real-time video encoders, is based on a number of ATEME patent-pending innovations enabling bandwidth efficiency gains and video quality enhancements over the previous generation of H.264 codecs. ATEME's Gen3 H.264 codec includes support for the 4:2:2 chroma subsampling profile at higher bit rates. Gen3 H.264 is an efficient and higher quality alternative to legacy contribution codecs such as MPEG-2 and JPEG2000. Gen3 H.264 bandwidth savings makes it possible to provide low bit rate contribution over IP networks while doubling the density of video streams over DVB-S2 links...

STMicroelectronics extended library of functions supporting vector control of electric motors using the 32-bit STM32 microcontroller (MCU), with new turnkey algorithms supporting single-shunt sensorless control, control of IPM (Internal Permanent Magnet) motors, and field-weakening controls for PMSM motors. ST's Cortex-M3 based STM32 MCU has already been designed into approximately 40 customer motor-control applications. By using the industry-standard architecture of the advanced ARM Cortex-M3 CPU, the STM32 allows users to save time compared with developing their motor-control solution on a proprietary architecture. STM32 MCU variants include the 'Performance' line, with 72MHz clock frequency, and the 'Access' line with 36MHz clock frequency. Within both lines, ST will eventually offer integrated Flash densities from 16Kbyte to 512Kbyte, and package options ranging from 36-pin QFN to 144-pin LQFP or BGA outlines...
