Eurovision uses Ateme systems in this year's major sporting events

Ateme's new Kyrion encoders and decoders are being used to send unilateral and multilateral signals in high definition and 4K-UHD via satellite.

Ateme Kyrion

Eurovision (EBU) has deployed the new Kyrion encoders and decoders from Atem to support the main sporting events of the year. These systems have been installed in different locations to guarantee maximum quality in live broadcasts.

In addition to unilateral and multilateral signals in high definition, Ateme equipment is also being used by the European Broadcasting Union service to send 4K-UHD signals via satellite.

Based on the fifth generation of Ateme's Stream compression engine, the Kyrion encoder and decoder provides excellent baseband video quality at minimum bit rates. This solution has been designed for contribution over satellite and IP networks, with value-added features such as near-immediate startup, ultra-low latency, and ABR output.

Graham Warren, network director at EBU-Eurovision, acknowledges that "we have chosen to place our trust in Ateme as it provides us with a future-proof solution with software update capacity for the new and more efficient HEVC codec. This will give us the possibility of reducing the cost of services with reduced bandwidth while offering better video quality on the same bandwidth for both HD and UHD services."

Claude Stoffel, sales director at Ateme for EMEA, was very pleased that "EBU-Eurovision has decided to renew its confidence in Ateme and our solutions for the transmission of these major sporting events. EBU-Eurovision is deploying the best solution in its class, while guaranteeing the future of its service with continuous improvements in video quality."
