Snell and Wilcox (Stand No. B2-1)
Helios Mobile Automated Content Repurposing System Snell & Wilcox is raising mobile TV picture quality to an unprecedented high with Helios Mobile, a groundbreaking system for the automated repurposing and delivery of content for mobile TV applications.

The Helios Mobile system combines the industry's most advanced video compression with a series of unique image processing techniques to deliver visibly superior results on any mobile device on all types of wireless networks.

Television content repurposed by Helios Mobile is ideal for the small screens of portable handset displays. The system dynamically separates the video image's foreground and background and concentrates the energy of the compression encoder on foreground elements - an object or athlete, for example - into crisp detail while lessening the detail and prominence of background elements.To ensure a compelling viewing experience on tiny displays, Helios Mobile dynamically reframes video images to produce tighter, sharper shots that retain the emotional impact of the original.

By creating "better pics for fewer bits," Helios Mobile saves valuable bandwidth and therefore reduces costs for the mobile operator. The system's automated operation also saves operators money by enabling them to work more efficiently as they capture and repurpose video content.
