Vitec Multimedia has acquired Stradis, the leading provider of professional-grade digital video decoders.

Stradis decoders perfectly complement Vitec's line of advanced encoding platforms.

"Stradis is by far the most respected source for professional, broadcast quality video decoders in the world", said Philippe Wetzel, CEO and founder of Vitec Multimedia.

"We at Vitec have always been impressed with the reliability and performance of Stradis decoders".

"The acquisition of Stradis by Vitec brings substantial resources and synergy to our company", said Art Nacht, Managing Director of Stradis.

"Vitec is providing Stradis with extensive R and D resources and 20 years of MPEG experience".

"This will enable Stradis to develop and deploy the next-generation video decoder platforms for serving media worldwide".

"Our plans include new form factors and multiple codec support including AVC and HD AVC".

Stradis will retain its distinct brand identity, strengthening and complementing Vitec's own fast-growing video business.

Stradis will continue to operate out of its Atlanta headquarters as an independent company.
