Pingtel (www.pingtel.com), a provider in SIP communications technology, Global IP Sound (GIPS), a provider of embedded voice-processing solutions for the Voice over IP (VoIP) market, and On2 Technologies, a provider of state of the art video codecs, today announced the launch of a combined product, the SIP AV Software Development Kit (SIP AV SDK).

“In the SIP AV SDK, we’ve collaborated with GIPS and On2 to create a solution that is greater than the sum of its parts,” said Bill Rich, CEO of Pingtel.

The SDK simplifies the intricate details of building multimedia VoIP applications by providing all of the necessary building blocks to quickly and easily implement peerless voice and video capabilities.

The SDK takes advantage of Pingtel’s proven SIP User Agent (SIPxua) to provide a generalized telephony interface on top of SIP and real-time transport protocol (RTP) signaling and media transport, and includes complete “tuning” capabilities for audio and video processing.

“This technology alliance allows companies to rapidly bring to market products that offer the best voice and video capabilities available on the market today,” said Gary P. Hermansen, President and CEO of Global IP Sound.

The SIP AV SDK also includes many of the other protocols and standards implementations necessary for voice and video communications, as well as a full set of features.

“While innovation is a key ingredient to any new IP application in the market, quality is the single most important attribute to ensure its success,” said Douglas McIntyre, chairman, president and chief executive officer of On2 Technologies.
