Netcetera has developed CodecChef, a highly specialized tool for transcoding all types of video films. CodecChef is already successfully in operation with police corps. With PIC Systems AG, Netcetera has now found a strategic partner for the further development and marketing of its products to authorities and organizations for rescue and security (BORS market in Switzerland).

Adrian Martin, CEO at PIC Systems AG: "With CodecChef from Netcetera, we are expanding our offering with a groundbreaking product. Our customers benefit from the experience and development Netcetera has put into the video transcoding product and from our competence in the field of image management".
