whose technologies have powered cinemas, streaming services, consumer electronics, and professional media production worldwide has acquired the video-compression technology portfolio developed by our researchers. This effort is championed by a long-standing research partnership with .ÌýThis acquisition places FAU-developed technologies at the forefront of next-generation video delivery, streaming, broadcasting, artificial intelligence and autonomous systems worldwide.

The acquired portfolio consists of 683 Intellectual Property assets including 250 granted international patents and 73 U.S. patents invented by FAU researchers in the College of Engineering and Computer Science through research sponsored by OPS. At the core of this portfolio is technology that contributed to , alternatively known as H.266. VVC is the most advanced international standard for video compression that reduces video data requirements by approximately 50% while preserving visual quality. In addition, 16 U.S. patents from the portfolio have been declared essential to the VVC/H.266 standard.Ìý

"Every day, millions of people and countless devices rely on video, yet the challenge has always been how to deliver more quality using less bandwidth. The technologies developed at FAU help address that challenge at a global scale. Seeing our research become part of an international standard, recognized through essential patents and ultimately acquired by Dolby is extraordinarily rewarding. It confirms that innovations created in our laboratories can shape the future of streaming, broadcasting, defense communications, autonomous systems and emerging AI-driven technologies." says Dr Hari Kalva , the director of MLab and one of the named inventors on all 250 granted patents with Dr Borko Furht alongside Dr Velibor Adzic who is a co-inventor.Ìý
