Astra satellite operator SES is integrating the technology developed by video compression, delivery and streaming solutions provider Ateme to further elevate and secure its distribution network for broadcasting of sports and events content worldwide.
Building on a long-standing relationship between the companies, SES will utilise Ateme’s Titan encoders, multiplexers and decoders for distribution of UHD and HD content via its ground and satellite infrastructure. Additionally, Ateme is integrating premium frame rate conversion with full motion compensation and supporting HDR in UHD for an enriched visual experience.
The solutions also utilise the BISS-CA encryption standard and receivers, integrating HDR conversion with HDR LUT (Look-Up-Table) conversion to facilitate the adoption of HDR technology, according to Ateme, adding that this will ensure reception of high-quality video content with enhanced security measures.
“We are thrilled to expand our collaboration with Ateme to enhance our delivery workflow for major sporting events,” said Michele Gosetti, Head of Media Sales France, Spain, Italy and Sports & Events at SES. “This partnership underscores our commitment to providing broadcasters with advanced, secure and reliable content distribution solutions and ensuring that viewers around the globe have access to an unparalleled viewing experience.”
Julien Mandel, Sr Solution Marketing Director at Ateme, added: “We are excited to strengthen our partnership with SES to deliver premium sports content to audiences worldwide. Our collaboration reinforces our commitment to innovating with the BISS-CA encryption standard. We are dedicated to proposing evolutions for future sporting events, ensuring enhanced security and performance for content distribution.”
