InnovaCom and Sonic Foundry Forge Strategic Alliance

InnovaCom Inc., a manufacturer of video compression based transmission and DVD Production Systems, announced that it has forged an OEM agreement with Sonic Foundry, a leading developer of digital media software.

The OEM agreement allows InnovaCom to incorporate Sonic Foundry’s Soft Encode 2-Channel Dolby (AC-3) and its Sound Forge XP 4.5 software packages into its DVDimpact(TM) product line. The DVDimpact, InnovaCom’s flagship publishing system is an all-in-one Windows NT(TM) solution incorporating a full suite of publishing tools, required by today’s DVD authors.

The Soft Encode 2-Channel Dolby encoder is used to convert audio content for DVD delivery. It secures the InnovaCom generated PCM audio at 1.5 Mb/s and compresses it to approximately 0.4 Mb/s in Dolby Digital Stereo format. In addition, the Sound Forge XP 4.5 software program provides powerful audio processing tools and effects for professional sound editing.
