SENSIO Announces US Patent For Decoding Technology

SENSIO Technologies has announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has issued US Patent No. 7,844,001 covering the way in which a merged stream of images is encoded and decoded.
With this patent, SENSIO has established exclusive rights over decoding of content encoded in it's proprietary SENSIO 3D format.
Nicholas Routhier, SENSIO President and CEO, said: "This latest US patent clearly establishes our ownership of the technology and helps us ensure that products asserting that they decode the SENSIO 3D format actually meet our exacting quality standards. By protecting our IP, we monetise our hard work, and we ensure that the high-fidelity images, for which our partners selected SENSIO 3D further up the delivery chain, actually reach the end-user."
SENSIO 3D is a spatial compression technology for encoding (compression) and decoding (decompression) of 3D images. This unique frame-compatible format for high-quality stereoscopic signal processing developed by SENSIO, has been deployed in the field for eight years. SENSIO 3D has been used in all commercial live 3D events produced around the world.
The issuance of this US patent represents yet another step toward SENSIO's goal of a worldwide patent presence. The company has patents pending with the European Patent Office, as well as Japan and China.
