The Beeb’s R&D division created a fully open non-patent-encumbered video codec and named it after Dirac. They also release/sponsor a freely available high-speed implementation of Dirac in C called Schroedinger, named after the man himself.

Dirac is a prototype algorithm for the encoding and decoding of raw video. It was presented by the BBC in January 2004 as the basis of a new codec for the transmission of video over the Internet. BBC named it after the name of physicist Paul Dirac(2). The second implementation of Dirac codec is called Schrodinger Project (named after Erwin Schrodinger(3)). Both Dirac and Schrodinger have won a Nobel together.

2 – Dirac, 3 – Schrodinger.
Connect – BBC uses a codec named after Dirac and is now working on another one to be named after Schrodinger.
