Ateme S.A. is a multinational company that specializes in video delivery, namely software for video compression based on H.265 / HEVC standards; MPEG4; MPEG2 encoding / decoding software for contribution links, as well as for multi-screen live streaming, OTT and CDN software; origin-server and packaging software; and cloud DVR technology. The company has its headquarters in Vélizy near Paris, France,[1] with offices that spread over Europe, North America, South America, Asia and Australia. The company also has a worldwide resellers network and operates globally with clients in more than 60 countries.[2]

Their technologies reduce bandwidth and infrastructure needs for content providers, service providers, MVPDs and OTT.[3] This reduction in turn helps to play its part in reducing the environmental impact of video delivery on worldwide energy consumption.[4]

Products include:

  • Kyrion: High-quality/ultra-low-latency encoding/decoding appliance.
  • TITAN: Software suite for origination, acquisition and compression.
  • NEA: Software suite for origin, packaging, storage, analytics and CDN.

VVC published as ITU H.266 and ISO/IEC 23090-3, is a new video standard which reduces by half the bitrate at the same video quality. With video accounting for about 80 per cent of global internet traffic, VVC ease pressure on global networks and reduces the amount of data necessary to enable high-quality video for an unprecedented range of new and existing applications.

Technology companies can continue to play a big role in reducing the environmental impact of streaming, including through further efforts to increase energy efficiency – both in the near-term with new technologies and developing next-generation technologies – and investing in renewable energy to power their data centres and networks. Sustainable design and coding could also help, such as further improving video compression.
