Reasons to choose Pixbend Technology

• Resources-friendly : unlike many other competing codecs, only a few CPU cycles and memory bytes are needed to decode a Pixbend video streams at full quality : a 1.5 GHz system is fast enough for HD-720 playback. Any PC or Macintosh shipped in the last 5 years will play Pixbend HD streams wonderfully.
   
• Playback software can be used in a "standalone" mode, without any prior system components installation. This, for instance, allows direct playback from removable media with pre-defined decoder software.
   
• Pixbend is a purely software-based solution : it works fine without any accelerated graphics hardware and can be upgraded easily.
   
• Not dependent on any graphics API/library/subsystem : Pixbend Technology is potentially portable to many platforms, operating systems or devices.
   
• Pixbend playback software was designed to be easily integrated into end-user applications, multimedia or game products. We provide a simple and easy to use SDK to our customers who wish to integrate Pixbend technology as part of their application. Using Pixbend SDK in a multimedia application is nearly as simple as adding two lines of code.
   
• Pixbend Technology is developed apart from any MPEG or other committee standards, so it carries neither hindering and annoying "patent pooling" restrictions nor complicated external licensing fees.
