PARIS, Dec. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Telecom organizations and service providers are looking to add multi-screen television services to their offerings but are faced with the ongoing challenge of providing quality video to customers even with limited network bandwidth. To assist in its efforts to bring television and Video On Demand services to its subscribers on any set top box, integrated telecommunication services operator Maxcom Telecomunicaciones selected ATEME for its TITAN "Any to Any" video encoding software platform.

Chosen for its highly skilled and dependable customer support, ATEME's partner, telecom systems integrator XSN Group, was selected by Maxcom to implement the TITAN solution.

Service operator integrates software solution: Maxcom is an integrated telecommunication services operator providing widespread voice and data services to residential customers in metropolitan markets in Mexico. The company looked to ATEME's technology for its superior efficiency both in space requirements in the head-end (density) and in bandwidth consumption (higher-quality video with lower bitrate).
Software-based solution yields rapid growth: After only two years with a presence in Mexico, ATEME's footprint in the country has shown record growth (100 percent+) in 2014, largely driven by the interest in software-based solutions for video transcoding.
TITAN Live Any-to-Any: ATEME's carrier-grade video processing solution is a real-time, multi-channel/format encoder/transcoder for multi-screen delivery of linear channels (TV, mobile and Web) that includes support for live 4Kp60 HEVC encoding. The XSN Group also integrated ATEME's TITAN File, a multi-codec/multi-format file-based video transcoding software that delivers improved video quality and bandwidth efficiency of content delivery over managed networks and the Internet, to any device such as UHDTV, TV, smartphone, tablet, PC or Web player. The TITAN "Any to Any"—any input, any output— a hybrid carrier-grade multiplatform solution with support of SDI and IP input feeds, was the perfect solution for today's needs and tomorrow's requirements.
