Ateme’s support for 100Gbps IP interfaces is further enhanced by the incredible scalability of TITAN Live and TITAN Edge, both of which are optimized to handle the increasing demands of today’s content providers. TITAN Live and TITAN Edge solutions now support more than 40 channels in a single rack unit (1-RU), whether it’s for encoding, decoding, or simple baseband conversions with ST 2110 or 2022-6 interface protocols.
This combination of 100Gbps interfaces support with the high-density processing in TITAN solutions unlocks unprecedented connection capacity. Whether content providers are managing large-scale live events, OTT streaming, or UHD content delivery, the ability to scale quickly and efficiently becomes crucial. With Ateme’s solutions, content providers can handle more channels in less space, reducing operational complexity while maximizing throughput.
The scalability offered by TITAN Live and TITAN Edge ensures that even in the most bandwidth-intensive scenarios, content providers can deliver consistent, high-quality video without compromise. This scalability provides the foundation for future-proof infrastructures that are ready to meet the ever-growing demands of modern media consumption.
3. Unmatched Video Quality: Continuous Improvement with Ateme’s VQI
While scalability and capacity are critical, Ateme remains steadfast in its commitment to delivering exceptional video quality. Central to this commitment is the recently launched Video Quality Index (VQI), a sophisticated algorithm powered by AI tools, designed to continuously optimize video encoding and processing to achieve a defined level of video quality. VQI enables Ateme to enhance video quality consistently without compromising performance or increasing operational complexity.
This innovation ensures that as content providers scale their infrastructure to handle more channels, video quality remains uncompromised. Instead, it can be maintained or even improved when transitioning to more bandwidth-intensive formats such as UHD or future larger video formats. VQI also keeps Ateme’s solutions at the forefront of technological advancements, enabling the immersive viewing experiences that audiences increasingly demand, regardless of the complexity or size of the media workflow.
By combining continuous video quality improvements with Ateme’s high-density processing capabilities, content providers can confidently deliver top-tier viewing experiences. Even as the demand for higher resolutions and complex workflows grows, Ateme’s solutions ensure optimal quality and performance, empowering content providers to meet evolving audience expectations.
4. Overcoming CPU and Physical Interface Limitations
In the past, CPU limitations posed significant challenges to scaling media processing operations. Ateme has largely overcome this hurdle through continuous software innovations, shifting the focus to addressing the physical interfaces that transmit and process video streams. The adoption of the ST 2110 standard has been pivotal in breaking through these physical limitations, unlocking new levels of throughput and operational flexibility.
The ST 2110 standard enables Ateme’s solutions to handle uncompressed video, audio, and ancillary data over IP networks with remarkable efficiency. This transition to IP-based workflows, bolstered by support for 100Gbps IP interfaces, has allowed Ateme to eliminate bottlenecks and deliver the scalability required by today’s demanding media workflows.
As a result, Ateme’s media processing solutions are now able to deliver the high-throughput performance that today’s content providers demand, offering greater channel capacity, reduced latency, and more efficient workflows. Whether managing live events, linear channels, or on-demand content, Ateme provides the agile software tools needed to keep pace with the rapid evolution of media consumption.
