ATEME featured in Italy's top Broadcast publication

Administrator — 2012-04-13T11:52:35Z

Radio TV Forum is becoming a unavoidable point of meeting in the Italian Broadcast Market. This year ATEME is participating once again with even more investment.
Alvino said: “When I attended the Radio TV Forum in 2010 for the first time as a visitor, I realized the importance of this show thanks to its intimacy in the Italian broadcast world allowing excellent exchange of experience between large players such as RAI, Mediaset and Sky Italia and all smaller players who are very dynamic.

As many times in the Broadcast world things get started by someone's idea and conviction: RTVF success is based on a strong conviction of Andrea Rivetta (Publisher & Editor in Chief of Broadcast & Production Magazine) that Italian Broadcast world need such an intimate show allowing exchange”. “For a company like ATEME who is addressing key players like SKY Italia with large contribution deployments as well as VOD for OTT, but also rather small DSNG companies thanks to the EBU advising CM3102/DR8400 Satellite contribution encoder and decoder, this is the perfect show. Last but not least, Rome is a wonderful city where we can enjoy nice evenings and great dinners”.

This year amongst ATEME products that will be presented in the CVE booth, stand M4, there will be CM3102/DR8400, and TITAN Live transcoding for OTT.

►Schedule a meeting with Alvino Cordeiro, South & Eastern Europe Sales Manager.

Administrator — 2012-03-06T15:48:39Z

28 – 29 of February 2012, ATEME and its partner GMDS Germany organised a two day workshop in Russelsheim near Frankfurt am Main. The main objectives of this workshop were - the introduction of the H. 264 contribution solution followed by the 10-bit and 8-bit video compression advantages overview supported by an ‘Hands On' session.

The attendees were mainly composed of operators and broadcasters from Germany (HR, CBC, MB, HD Satcom etc) and Austria (ORF).

Volkmar SETZEFAND from GMDS Germany gave an opening speech and clarified the main objectives of the workshop.

Xavier GENTRIC from ATEME Company introduced the ATEME product line for contribution. He gave a brief overview of the ATEME encoders / decoders and listed all major advantages achieved by using the ATEME contribution solution such as the pristine video quality and the equipment interoperability.

Volkmar SETZEFAND presented the migration to the HD guidelines (document issued by German speaking Broadcasters on HD migration)

Mireille GRANET from GMDS Germany clarified Support Service Contract Agreement, which appealed to many guests giving them certitude and reinforced their confidence in the ATEME contribution solution.

Frank WINDHOVEL from GMDS Germany presented the 8-bit and 10-bit video compression which was supported by the ‘Hands on' session conducted by Firdaouss KOUCHTAF from ATEME. She clearly proved the encoding difference results between the 10-bit and 8 –bit video quality.

All participants at this workshop have already had previous experience with the 8-bit video compression but to many the 10-bit compression video quality was something revolutionary. Almost all of them were seduced by the technical facility of the equipment setup and its simple use.
