San Francisco -- IVast, a Santa Clara, Calif.-based provider of MPEG-4 based digital media delivery hardware and software, has ceased operations and will see its assets sold to Singapore-based DG2L, CNET News.com reported. Around 35 iVast employees were laid off, with 22 remaining in the international unit that is expected to be part of an asset sale to DG2L, provider of an MPEG-4 based high-definition digital cinema video system. "The North America market was not there to sustain," former iVast employee Ben Silva told News.com. Silva added that the company struggled because U.S. companies were reluctant to adopt nascent MPEG-4 technologies, while 85-95% of the company's revenue came from the Asia-Pacific region.
