TMMI Announces Completion of Deal to Acquire TruDef Fractal Video Codec
Enhancements
CALABASAS, CA--(Marketwire - December 21, 2007) - TMM Inc. (PINKSHEETS:
TMMI) announced today that it has completed negotiations with Tom
Simpson and the principals of Digital Focus Inc., and their company
doing business as TruDef Industries, to acquire all of their rights to
enhancement work done of the TMMI fractal video codec developed in the
1990s.
The codec had been modified to successfully compress digital video
solving issues that previously prevented fractal compression to work in
full motion video.
The company announces it has received the enhanced version of the codec
and are working on preliminary testing and product development of the
next generation TruDef codec, details of which will be announced in the
near future.
Fractal compression offers superior image quality than pixel-based
compression since images are mathematically encoded, no pixels are
saved. Video compressed in TruDef is resolution independent and can be
expanded to larger sizes without image degradation inherent with
pixel-based compression.
Company President Mike Fernandez stated: "I am happy to have finally
completed the arrangements to acquire the enhancement work done on the
TMMI fractal video codec. We believe there is a vast market for products
that can reduce the file size of high definition video without reducing
its quality. After all of these years we are looking forward to showing
some examples of the capability of the enhanced fractal compression
technology and the features and functionality that it can bring to the
emerging market for high definition video."
Tom Simpson stated: "We are all happy to be working again with TMMI to
bring a new generation of high definition compression products to the
company. The market is searching for tools that can handle the data
created by today's new high definition video cameras. We have for years
seen the fractal-based product as the best solution to the file size
demands of high definition video and the practical constraints of
storage of raw high definition video; unfortunately computing power
limited the ability of the codec to competitively perform in the video
compression market of the 1990s. The new TruDef product can offer
quality virtually undetectable from raw with substantial savings of file
size."
