ATLAS CODEC
The Future of Video Compression.
Atlas – Provenance & Piracy Protection for Modern Video Platforms
A revolutionary hybrid video codec in development. We are currently seeking partners and investors.
The Future of Video is Here
The world's appetite for high-quality video is growing exponentially. From streaming and gaming to virtual reality and beyond, the demand for immersive, high-fidelity experiences is pushing the limits of current video compression technology. Existing codecs are struggling to keep up, leading to a trade-off between quality, bandwidth, and cost.
Atlas Codec is a revolutionary hybrid video codec that shatters these limitations. By intelligently combining classic compression techniques with cutting-edge AI, Atlas delivers unprecedented quality at a fraction of the bitrate. This means a better viewing experience for users, and significant cost savings for creators and distributors.
We are seeking partners and investors to help us bring Atlas Codec to the world. If you're ready to be a part of the next revolution in video technology, we want to hear from you.
Key Features
Classic Codec Backbone
I/P/B frame encoding with DCT transforms, quantization, and rANS entropy coding.
ATLAS Background Reuse
Background extraction and tile-based atlas for efficient static region compression.
Semantic-Aware Compression (SEM)
Static region detection, shot boundary detection, and object tracking.
Token-Space Residuals (TOK)
Vector quantization for residual coding (planned).
Deterministic Neural Enhancement (GEN)
Framework for neural network-based enhancement.
Tomorrow-Never-Dies (TND)
Future-aware offline encoding with reverse pass analysis.
GPU-Accelerated Encoding & Decoding
