ATEME Announces Its Market Leader Position For Digital Television Encoding

ATEME, the leading provider of H.264/MPEG-4 video compression solutions, announced today that it has deployed more than one hundred Kyrion hardware encoders for High Definition terrestrial broadcasting in Brazil, making it the single most deployed brand for the Brazilian ISDBT standard.
TITAN, ATEME's software transcoding product line, is also the solution used most broadly for the transcoding of Video On Demand content by Brazilian Cable, Satellite and Telecom service providers. Its unique Video Quality at low bitrates makes it the preferred way to prepare content for delivery to multiple screens.
ATEME is partnering with multi-screen video technology providers Broadpeak, KIT Digital, and Netgem for an “Over-the-Top” Television Seminar on March 5th in San Paulo, Brazil and March 7th in Rio de Janeiro.
The seminar is targeted to Brazilian operators who are challenged with extending their existing IPTV services to OTT and multi-screen solutions.
According to Gustavo Marra, Director of Applications Engineering: "ATEME and our partners will address how Brazilian operators can provide premium content services over the Internet and unmanaged services. In addition, we will show the operators how to reach a wider audience with the pristine video quality that is expected by the consumer."
