IBC Preview news, Stand 1.D70, 10 July 2009 – ATEME, an acknowledged leader in video compression systems, will be demonstrating its latest solutions for the delivery of both on-demand and live delivery of content – including HD content encoding, DVB head-ends, broadcast VOD, multimedia mobile and Web 2.0 – at IBC2009 (Stand 1.D70).

The new standard in Contribution – 10-bit AVC/H.264 Encode/Decode Pair

A key attraction on the stand will be ATEME’s 10-bit Hi422P solution for the growing contribution market, which enables media transmission natively from one point to another. With 10-bit AVC/H.264 encoding the content is maintained throughout IP/MPLS network at the same resolution and picture information level as at source, ensuring pristine video quality throughout as well as increasing capacity over DVB-S2 satellite feeds with two HD streams instead of just one with the legacy codec.

The Hi422P 10-bit codec technology will be demonstrated at IBC2009 with ATEME’s Kyrion CM4101 encoder andDR8400 decoder pair, and is part of ATEME’s full portfolio of products.

Accelerating content transcoding to Multi-screens

ATEME will be demonstrating its Kyrion File Encoder (KFE 2), with Grid Computing hardware for accelerated compression of content. Grid Computing is a complete file-based processing solution that transcodes, faster than real time, any HD or SD content into H.264 stream compliant with the major Industry Standards. For example, a two hour-long HD movie can be encoded in just 10 minutes, making this the first truly effective solution for content delivery.

ATEME’s new Grid Computing concept works by producing a number of pristine video quality versions of the same asset simultaneously for delivery of content to television, mobile and internet devices. This innovative and highly scalable design has an incredibly low power usage, making it the environmental, as well as cutting-edge, technology of choice for content owners.

Turn key video head-end for broadcast and IPTV services up 1080p60

ATEME will be demonstrating its live video head-end targeted at IPTV and broadcast network services, enabling 24/7 linear content services. ATEME’s encoders also support higher frame rates, such as 1080p60, providing future-proofed solutions for broadcasters and content owners alike.
