On how to create best of class video automation demand service
Remi is the product marketing manager for the ATEME Kyrion File Encoder. Prior to this role he worked as an H.264 field engineer where he gained hands on experience in enabling on demand video solutions for triple-play service providers such as Free and BT Vision. Rémi holds a master’s degree in Signal Processing from ENSEIRB in Bordeaux.
How can our company implement a reliable on demand service?
A reliable and effective on demand video service requires a flexible workflow system that incorporates high standards of quality control. I recommend using a mezzanine file-based solution using H.264 to ensure high quality video across multiple platforms. For more background on BT Vision’s successful approach, have a look at our white paper co-written with BT. |
On 3rd generation H.264
Pierre Larbier is ATEME’s Chief Technology Officer and a renowned expert in the field of algorithmic design and MPEG / H.264 video compression. He has specifically dealt with video encoder architecture and designs for a wide range of platforms and applications: from low-power single DSP solutions to ultra-high quality FPGA based HD broadcast encoders. Pierre obtained his engineering degree from INSA, Rennes, France, with a specialization in electronics.
What are the chief advantages of using the ATEME 3rd generation H.264 encoder?
Our third generation codec (Gen3) is based on a number of ATEME patent-pending innovations including its implementation of Rate Distortion Optimization (RDO), enabling bandwidth efficiency gains of up to 30% with the same high level of picture quality. To address the growing contribution market, Gen3 now includes support for the 4:2:2 chroma subsampling profile. This improves bandwidth efficiency of high quality video up to 50% when compared to legacy MPEG-2 encoders. Gen3 can also support video at very high bit rates, up to 60 Mbps for DVBS2 contribution applications.
