Video on mobile devices: NFB
NFB requirements and expectations:
NFB was looking to extend its online Screening Room to mobile devices. The targeted solution had to address the growing demand for media consumption across all types of screens, and increase audience with innovative services for phones and tablets.
NFB challenges:
NFB had to face the following challenges
- Preserve high degree of audio/video fidelity to the original source
- Maximize interoperability with various end-user devices
- Ensure operational scalability within Service Oriented Architecture worklow
How could ATEME TITAN address these requirements?
- High fidelity: Processing optimization for audio/video encoding, muxing and chunking
- Interoperability: Full control on codec and wrapper technologies matching streaming/adaptive streaming requirements.
- Operational scalability: Ultra-dense Intel®-based blade platform featuring integrated network switches, redundancy management and open API.
How is ATEME going beyond the customer expectations?
NFB and ATEME are involved in a long-lasting cooperation to including frequent meetings to analyze the new market demands, map the meaningful features on a roadmap and agree on a delivery and installation schedule. This cooperation is essential to meet NFB’s requirements for keeping up with new and improved ways of accessing content everywhere.
