Paris, France, October 14, 2025 – Ateme, a global leader in video compression, delivery, and streaming solutions, has unveiled the DR5000e, the latest evolution of its acclaimed KYRION line of contribution decoders.
Designed for premium live sports and event delivery, the DR5000e combines exceptional video quality, ultra-low latency, and rock-solid reliability in a compact, quick-to-start, and energy-efficient design.
Building on the success of the CM5000e encoder, the DR5000e works seamlessly across satellite, ASI, and IP workflows, offering dual-channel UHD decoding and simple software upgrades to increase capacity without changing hardware.
Engineered for hybrid and IP workflows, it delivers plug-and-play simplicity today and future-ready flexibility with upcoming SMPTE 2110 and HLS Contribution ingest workflows.
With integrated BISS-CA protection, co-developed by Ateme and the EBU, the DR5000e ensures secure contribution while paving the way for OTT and cloud-based delivery models.
“The DR5000e embodies Ateme’s vision of reliable and evolutive contribution,” said Julien Mandel, Marketing Director at Ateme. “It delivers the performance and trust required for live operations while opening the door to IP and OTT-based workflows.”
While others move away from hardware, Ateme continues to invest in professional-grade appliances that blend software flexibility with broadcast reliability—ensuring a complete, future-ready ecosystem for contribution and distribution.
The DR5000e will be available in Q4 2025, extending Ateme’s trusted KYRION range.
