Turner Esporte Interativo selects Ateme
June 21, 2016
Ateme has announced that Turner Esporte Interativo, a sport channel in Brazil, has deployed its Kyrion encoders and decoders to feed a new national video headend in São Paulo. As a first trial, Turner is using this future-proof solution to receive a major European football tournament in 4K from the International Broadcast Centre in France.
Based on the Ateme fifth Generation Stream compression engine, the Kyrion encoder and decoder provides the best baseband video quality at minimum bitrates. This solution has been designed for contribution over satellite and IP networks, with added value features such as ultra-fast-boot, ultra-low latency, and ABR output.
“Known for its high-quality service, Turner needed a solution that delivers the highest video quality while meeting our bandwidth constraints”, said the EI/Turner Brazil operation and technology team. “With Ateme Kyrion encoder/decoder, we are now able to provide an exceptional viewing experience for a major European sport event while limiting our investment on link OPEX.”
