ProVision's core expertise is its unique ability to create reliable 'end to end' wireless video. The human eye is very sensitive to the video errors that are common in digital wireless transmission. To avoid these problems it takes an expert understanding of both video coding and wireless systems and how these technologies interact. The result is systems that are rugged and capable of transmitting HD video reliably in real time to all rooms within the home. ProVision was founded by two university professors, each renowned in the wireless and video fields as world experts. This gives ProVision a unique technological advantage. As a result the company is able to create products that reliably display HD video, regardless of fluctuations in the wireless signal caused by people moving within the home, and the size and structure of the home. ProVision's two main technology platforms are AXAR, a system for all-room wireless distribution of HDTV to televisions in homes, and ProMultiVu, a technology for multi-cast video transmission at outdoor events. ProMultiVu transmissions are typically received by laptop PCs, PDAs or smart phones.
