Supporting ATSC 1.0 While Paving the Way for ATSC 3.0

ATSC 1.0 remains vital to over-the-air broadcasting, delivering reliable local station content to millions. Ateme recognizes the need to maintain and enhance ATSC 1.0 infrastructure, ensuring consistent, high-quality content as broadcasters prepare for next-generation transitions.

By offering solutions that support both ATSC 1.0 and ATSC 3.0, Ateme enables broadcasters to evolve at their own pace. This flexibility minimizes disruption, protects existing investments, and maximizes readiness for ATSC 3.0’s enhanced capabilities.

High-Performance Compression and Statistical Multiplexing

Ateme’s video compression technology delivers exceptional visual quality and optimized bandwidth for both ATSC 1.0 and ATSC 3.0 standards. For ATSC 3.0, Ateme leverages advanced HEVC (High-Efficiency Video Coding) to support up to 4K Ultra HD content with HDR (High Dynamic Range) and low latency. Ateme’s solutions for ATSC 1.0 broadcasts ensure reliable high-definition delivery with efficient bandwidth use.

Ateme’s proven broadcast statistical multiplexing (statmux) capabilities maximize bandwidth by dynamically allocating resources based on stream complexity. This eliminates unnecessary padding and allows broadcasters to achieve up to 20% bandwidth optimization, improving video quality (VQ) and reducing costs. By bringing this efficiency to over-the-air (OTA) transmission, broadcasters can optimize resources and enhance content delivery.

Enabling Next-Gen Capabilities

While ATSC 1.0 offers a robust broadcast foundation, ATSC 3.0 introduces opportunities for interactivity, personalized content, and targeted advertising. Ateme’s expertise in content orchestration and monetization helps broadcasters unlock these capabilities, creating engaging interactive experiences, tailored viewing recommendations, and targeted ads that boost engagement and revenue.

Proven Industry Expertise

Ateme’s track record includes successful ATSC 1.0 and ATSC 3.0 deployments across North America and beyond, making it the most deployed ATSC 3.0 encoding solution in the U.S. by number of stations. Its field-tested solutions are designed for rapid deployment, ensuring reliability and adaptability. By collaborating with industry groups and regulatory bodies, Ateme ensures its offerings align with evolving standards and market needs.

Commitment to Sustainability

Ateme prioritizes environmentally sustainable broadcasting by minimizing power consumption and optimizing data transmission. As the co-chair of the PT9 Sustainability group within ATSC, this aligns with local and global demand for greener operations and highlights Ateme’s dedication to building a sustainable broadcast ecosystem.
