Paris, France, March 24, 2026 – To deliver nationwide live video contribution for the Southeast Asian Games 2025 in Thailand, National Telecom Public Company Limited (NT) selected KYRION from Ateme as the core platform of its event contribution infrastructure, placing the solution at the heart of video transport operations during coverage of one of the region’s largest sporting events.
The deployment ensured reliable, premium-quality live contribution across venues and broadcast centers, where operational stability and performance were critical.
Using KYRION’s contribution encoding and decoding platforms, NT delivered 1080p 10-bit 4:2:2 workflows with low and stable latency, meeting the demanding standards of international sports production. The compact, broadcast-grade design simplified field operations while ensuring consistent performance across the network, with front-panel video monitoring and remote supervision capabilities streamlining day-to-day operations across multiple sites.
“For an event of this scale, operational reliability and picture quality are absolutely essential,” said Colonel Chuchart Pimprasert, IBC Manager at NT. “KYRION gives our teams confidence in daily operations and stable performance in the field.”
The platform also provided long-term investment protection. KYRION supported software upgrades up to UHD, enabling future evolution without hardware replacement. Its optional BISS-CA security upgrade delivered cost-effective, robust content protection, while Ateme’s continuous software evolution ensured the system remains aligned with industry advancements.
“KYRION has been trusted in the contribution market for over 20 years,” said Duc Long Nguyen, Regional Sales Manager for Thaïland at Ateme. “Its stability, low-latency performance, and UHD software upgrade path make it a future-ready platform for national-scale infrastructures.”
Recently enhanced with next-generation decoding capabilities, KYRION is designed to support evolving formats and operational requirements well into the next decade, combining broadcast-grade performance with software-driven flexibility.
The deployment during coverage of the Southeast Asian Games highlighted the robustness of the solution and contributed to high-quality production workflows across NT’s network.
