Sky Italia has opted into Imagine Communications’ Open Zenium programme as part of an on-going strategy to improve its compression systems.
Open Zenium provides access to machine learning directly into the data flow, bringing additional functionality into existing products. It shares the single source code of the Zenium microservices library with a community of Imagine customers and partners.
“We immediately recognised the power and potential of the Open Zenium programme to streamline and enrich our services,” said Massimo Bertolotti, director of innovation and multimedia distribution, Sky Italia. “By integrating our unique technology into Imagine’s microservices-based solutions we are now able to introduce technology enhancements that improve our ability to meet business objectives much faster and more efficiently than was possible in the past.”
Sky Italia is one of the first adopters of Selenio One, Imagine’s next-generation compression platform that offers media companies a range of encoding, transcoding and related processing operations. The broadcaster was also an early mover in the V Nova compression system, taking an equity stake earlier this year.
