Features

ATEME has maintained its research and development excellence over the years and has remained  at the front of new technology developments based on its R&D efforts. The company  was the first vendor to introduce a 10-bit encoding solution, which has proved to not only be successful in the contribution segment, but is also quickly becoming an important requirement industry-wide. ATEME was one of the first few encoder vendors to start demonstrating HEVC, and has continued to demonstrate advancements in market-ready HEVC products. In addition to continuing the development work on its HEVC codec, ATEME is also going the extra mile through its industry partnerships in interoperability testing and research and development projects. To prepare our customers, and the industry in general, on the next generation of compression technology, ATEME remains committed to ongoing research efforts.
