Ateme Unveils its MPEG-4 AVC High Profile High Definition Real Time Encoder; the Leading Video Compression Provider Releases Its Best-of-Breed H.264 High Definition Real Time Encoder at Broadcast Quality.PARIS Paris, in Greek mythology Paris or Alexander, in Greek mythology, son of Priam and Hecuba and brother of Hector. Because it was prophesied that he would cause the destruction of Troy, Paris was abandoned on Mt. -- ATEME (www.ateme.com), world leader in video compression technology, introduces its MPEG-4 AVC / H.264 real-time High Definition Main Profile and High Profile hardware encoder. ATEME's encoder achieves unprecedented video quality in an extremely compact format. ATEME's High Definition hardware encoder is optimized to run on four devices only - a mixed architecture of Altera Stratix II FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) A type of gate array that is programmed in the field rather than in a semiconductor fab. Containing up to hundreds of thousands of gates, there are a variety of FPGA architectures on the market. and Texas Instruments TMS TMS Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (alternative medicine for depression) TMS Test Match Special (sports - cricket) TMS Texas Motor Speedway TMS Transportation Management System TMS Toyota Motor Sales 320C64x DSP (1) (Digital Signal Processor) A special-purpose CPU used for digital signal processing applications (see definition #2 below). It provides ultra-fast instruction sequences, such as shift and add, and multiply and add, which are commonly used in math-intensive . This results in a very compact 3-inch by 3-inch board format, allowing operators to dramatically increase HD channel density. The 100% programmability of the design allows secure upgrade over time with the best-in-class picture quality and compression efficiency available. It provides the flexibility for implementation of any configurations at all bitrates. Unlike an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) Pronounced "a-sick." A chip that is custom designed for a specific application rather than a general-purpose chip such as a microprocessor. approach, this future-proof and field upgradeable solution allows users to benefit from future advancements in MPEG-4 AVC as the standard reaches its full maturity. This cost-effective encoder revolutionizes the Digital Television, IPTV (Internet Protocol TV) Also called "TV over IP," IPTV delivers scheduled TV programs and video-on-demand (VOD) via the IP protocol and digital streaming techniques used to watch video on the Internet. , Contribution feeds and HD content backhaul markets. It is fully compliant with MPEG-4 part 10 (ISO/IEC ISO/IEC International Organization for Standardization/International Electrotechnical Commission (ITU-T M 3000) 14496-10). Interoperability tests are routinely conducted with major industry decoder manufacturers to ensure seamless deployment and integration. "The superior performance and signal integrity of Altera's Stratix II FPGA family coupled with ATEME's recognized expertise in MPEG-4 video compression will bring broadcasters and network operators the assurance that subscribers will enjoy the highest quality HD programs in all bandwidth conditions", says Todd Scott, Altera Sr. Director of the Broadcast & Consumer Business Unit. ATEME MPEG-4 AVC High Definition hardware encoder is available immediately. It will be demonstrated at --NAB 2006 show - April 24-27 in Las Vegas, NV on ATEME (SU256) and Altera (C8112) booths --KOBA 2006 show - May 23-26 in Seoul, Korea, on booth N14-N15 --BroadcastAsia 2006 - June 20-23 in Singapore, on ATEME booth (7M3-03 / French Technology Pavilion) Don't miss these opportunities to discover the revolution in broadcast encoding!
