Since 1998, PlayMedia® has developed advanced software, middleware and systems design for the audiovisual content distribution industry.
These include:
MPEG-4, MPEG-2 and MPEG-1 Codecs for leading CPU/OS Platforms, including ARM and Marvell/Intel-PXA (XScale) Processors across Multiple OS'
CONTENT DELIVERY SYSTEMS that enable monetization of audio, video, text and graphics using advertising-sponsored or conditional-access methodologies, such as PlayMedia's patented MPFree® system.
AUDIOVISUAL FRAMEWORKS for multiple CPU/OS Platforms including Plug-In Modules for Leading Codecs, Filters, DRM's and Effects - both open and proprietary such as AMPhibian®
PlayMedia focuses on what device OEM's and ODM's demand: audiovisual rendering technologies that give consumers the features they want - crisp video at high framerates, yet with low power consumption. Plus, audio applications with compelling, user-definable effects.
PSI has also built a world-class Consulting practice by provisioning Clients with extremely stable, flexible and efficient implementations of audiovisual technology on difficult or exotic CPU/OS platforms.
PlayMedia is strongly focused on embedded systems for portable devices enabling battery-efficient rendering of audio, video and text.
Our 4Play® Family of MPEG-4 Audiovisual Content Distribution Technologies (encoder, decoder and video rendering libraries) set the high bar for low-cost, features and optimization for the World standard for mobile video distribution.
Our AMPhibian® Advanced Audio Framework is an entirely software-based, portable framework designed to enable rapid development of a variety of audio Applications across multiple devices and platforms (from PCs to PDA’s and Smartphones). It is configurable for different levels of CPU usage and audio quality - all while retaining common featuresets to provide consumers a consistent user experience.
Our AMP® MP3 technology is the namesake of some of the world's most popular PC-based music players, including WinAmp. AMP® is used for mission-critical audio playback for everyone from governments to the vision-impaired and was also the playback engine behind the original Napster. AMP® is now offered as a module within AMPhibian® but may be employed outside of the Framework for specialized purposes. Leading audio engineers have called AMP® the "best sounding MP3 decoder".
MPFree® is PlayMedia's branded technology for its patented "System and method for advertisment sponsored content distribution". This evolutionary method for the monetization of multiple types of content, be it audio, video, graphics or text bodes well for content owners seeking creative methods to realize new revenue streams from their copyrighted materials.

Consultative Engineering Our Consultative Engineering and advanced audiovisual frameworks enable major firms like DMX Music to deliver multiple channels of music, with unique and powerful audio capabilities to leading retailers, hotels and satellite music providers around the world.
Our work with world media leader Bertelsmann's digital technology unit DWS yielded a brilliant, next-generation, secure P2P content distribution system for the original Napster.
