Media adaptation plays a crucial role in the delivery of rich media mobile content to subscribers, thereby enabling mobile phone operators and content owners to generate higher revenues from users. Today's mobile environment is characterized by a myriad of devices that differ in characteristics and attributes which directly impact the reception of media. For best end-user experience, media needs to be transcoded - adapted and released in device specific versions. The Adamind Spire(TM) transforms media adaptation from a manual process into a fully automated device-centric and network aware process enabling content providers and operators to quickly and efficiently mobilize their content to the market. It further allows the setting of transcoding templates per client that will be used for automated transcoding and the validation of quality of the converted files prior to distribution Enquiries Adamind +44 20 7929 8989 on the day and thereafter Shailendra Jain, CEO +1 650 646 2368 Corfin Communications Harry Chathli, Neil Thapar +44 20 7929 8989 About Adamind Adamind (LSE: ADA) is a provider of software that enables mobile multimedia content and converged communications services.
