On2 VP6 Video Playback Becoming a Prerequisite for Mobile Applications
CLIFTON PARK, NY and CAMPBELL, CA (March 25, 2009) - On2 Technologies (NYSE Amex: ONT), a leader in video compression solutions, announced today that it has licensed its On2 VP6r video format and software to VisualOn Inc. VisualOn will optimize and integrate VP6 decoding software into its multimedia application suite for mobile platforms.
On2 VP6, through its inclusion in the Adobe Flash and Sun JavaFX application platforms, has become the de facto format for web video and a fundamental requirement for Internet-connected mobile devices.
When compared to H.264 Baseline profile (an emerging video format used in wireless applications) On2 VP6 content offers 10% to 20% better video compression performance while requiring less computing power to play. As a result, VP6 enables a wider range of mobile devices to play high-quality content without sacrificing battery life. For more information about On2 VP6 visit www.on2.com/on2video.

"Adding VP6 to our application suite will enable mobile users to watch high-quality VP6 without requiring a bleeding-edge processor or a pocketful of batteries.
