Paris, France, July 18, 2024 — Ateme announces that SES is integrating its innovative technology to further elevate and secure SES’s distribution network for broadcasting of sports and events content worldwide.

Building on a long-standing relationship between the companies, SES will utilize Ateme’s TITAN encoders, multiplexers, and decoders for distribution of Ultra-High and High-Definition content via its ground and satellite infrastructure. Additionally, Ateme is integrating premium frame rate conversion with full motion compensation and supporting High Dynamic Range (HDR) in Ultra-High Definition (UHD) for an enriched visual experience.

The state-of-the-art solutions also utilize the BISS-CA encryption standard and receivers, integrating HDR conversion with HDR LUT (Look-Up-Table) conversion to facilitate the adoption of HDR technology. This will ensure reception of the highest quality video content with optimal picture clarity, smooth motion, and enhanced security measures.
