Ateme Unveils MPEG-4 AVC High Definition Real Time Encoder

ATEME introduces its MPEG-4 AVC / H.264 real-time High Definition Main Profile and High Profile hardware encoder. ATEME's encoder achieves high 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 and Texas Instruments TMS320C64x DSP. 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. 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 encoder revolutionizes the Digital Television, IPTV, Contribution feeds and HD content backhaul markets. It is fully compliant with MPEG-4 part 10 (ISO/IEC 14496-10). Interoperability tests are routinely conducted with major industry decoder manufacturers to ensure seamless deployment and integration.
