Codec Solutions (DMNA)
Better Compression. Without a Trade-Off.
Introducing Digital Media New Algorithm (DMNA)
Watch the demonstration video to see how DMNA can improve video encoding performance by 75% based on H.264 standard, converting a .YUV file to an .MP4 file.
Every video-enabled device lives or dies by the same constraint: how much footage it can capture, compress, and transmit without burning through bandwidth, storage, or power? DMNA is a proprietary codec algorithm that breaks this trad-off. Developed by Dr. Masafumi Tanaka, Visiting Professor at the University of Tokyo, DMNA delivers a mathematically optimized approach to digital media processing that is faster, lighter, and smarter.
TekStart® Group now has an exclusive right to distribute this technology across North America.
In real-world testing, DMNA delivered up to a 75% performance improvement on an H.264 workflow, with lower latency and higher quality at the same bitrate. Built for OEMs in broadcast and media production, security and surveillance, video conferencing hardware, and medical imaging, DMNA delivers more performance out of every frame.
Why Choose DMNA to Optimize Video Streaming?
Unmatched Efficiency Across Video-Intensive Industries
TekStart’s DMNA-powered codec solutions transform how video and media data are processed in real-time environments. Applying advanced mathematical principles such as factorization and hierarchical processing enables DMNA to streamline the codec process with greater proficiency, resulting in faster, more efficient video compression and decoding.
Dramatically reducing the computational load for video encoding and decoding delivers:
- Higher Fidelity – Preserve image and video quality even under bandwidth or hardware constraints
- Shorter Cycle Time – Process more data faster, minimizing latency and lag
- Reduced Circuitry Requirements – Reduce hardware complexity with optimized computation
These advantages make a DMNA-powered codec the ideal choice for industries where speed, clarity, and reliability are non-negotiable.
Industry Applications
Across video-centric systems, performance is often limited by processing requirements, bandwidth availability, and power constraints. DMNA addresses these limitations directly, enabling more efficient and scalable video processing across key application areas.
- Broadcast & Media Production Technology
Live video production requires high-resolution processing with minimal latency, where both bandwidth and compute efficiency are critical. DMNA reduces processing load across encoding and decoding functions, enabling higher-quality video output and faster throughput without increasing system complexity. - Security & Surveillance Systems
Continuous video capture places significant demands on storage capacity and network bandwidth. By improving compression efficiency, DMNA reduces data volume while maintaining image clarity, helping to lower storage requirements and optimize system performance at scale. - Video Conferencing & Collaboration Hardware
Modern collaboration systems must deliver consistent video quality across varying network conditions and device constraints. DMNA enables more efficient encoding and decoding, resulting in improved image quality, reduced bandwidth usage, and lower power consumption in compact, always-on devices. - Telemedicine & Medical Imaging Devices
Medical video applications require high-fidelity image transmission, often over constrained networks and on portable platforms. DMNA enhances processing efficiency, supporting reliable delivery of detailed visual data while reducing system load and extending device operating time.
The DMNA Advantage: Technical Insights
The Mathematics That Redefines Media Processing
DMNA (Digital Media New Algorithm) was engineered to minimize redundant computation across the video encoding and decoding process. Using advanced mathematical strategies, it achieves significant reductions in processing volume without compromising quality.
Core Techniques Behind DMNA
- Factorization: DMNA simplifies complex mathematical operations by breaking them into smaller, factorized components – reducing computational steps across the codec process.
- Wrapping: Through wrapping theory, DMNA effectively narrows the numerical space of operations, allowing data to be processed with fewer total calculations, resulting in faster throughput and lower energy draw.
- Hierarchical Structure: By prioritizing essential computations within a hierarchical framework, DMNA executes only the calculations that contribute to output quality, eliminating redundant processes. This hierarchy extends to complex calculus functions, optimizing even advanced transformations.
Impact on Codec Processing Components
When applied to standard video processing stages, DMNA significantly reduces computational load in key functions such as:
- CAVLC (Context-Adaptive Variable Length Coding)
- Q (Quantization)
- DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform)
- Inter-P and Intra-P Prediction
- De-blocking Filter
Each of the above functions contributes measurable gains in speed and efficiency – translating into smoother playback, faster encoding, and lower system demands.
