English
July 25, 2019
Synamedia announced that
WarnerMedia Asia Pacific has chosen its end-to-end
PowerVu content delivery solution to enhance their
satellite content delivery system.
Synamedia technologies will reduce bandwidth costs,
deliver next-generation security capabilities, and
prepare the company's satellite system for future IP
delivery innovations.
WarnerMedia is leveraging
Synamedia's Virtual Digital Content Manager (vDCM) with
Smart Rate Control and Automation, PowerVu Network
Center (PNC), and D9800 Network Transport Receiver to
help revolutionize the efficiency and speed by which
their content is delivered around the world.
"Today's viewers, no matter their
location, expect content when they want it and how they
want it. Simply put, there's no room for delay," Luis
Esparza, Senior Vice President of International
Technology, WarnerMedia. "Synamedia
understands this fact and has both a robust portfolio of
solutions and an impeccable security track record. Our
continued partnership is one based on proven success."
Today, satellite technologies are
advancing, leases are expiring, and security is becoming
an ever-increasing concern. WarnerMedia looked to the
formidable expertise of Synamedia and its HEVC
technology to enable them to protect their footprint in
existing markets while finding new routes to additional
revenues. The end-to-end Synamedia solution will allow
the company to complement its traditional satellite
distribution with future IP-based delivery options, a
unique capability of the D9800 Network Transport
Receiver.
"Our brands are synonymous with
high-value content and innovation, and with our laser
focus on business retention, revenue growth, and
security, we need a partner as committed to these goals
as we are," said Gustavo Fracassi, Senior Director,
International Infrastructure & Transport, International
Technology, WarnerMedia. "Synamedia brings decades of
experience and some of the best engineering minds in the
industry to the table, which shows in their solutions
and deployments."
Synamedia's Virtual DCM encoding
and multiplexing platform represents a new generation of
virtualized and software-based video processing,
providing advanced video, audio, and metadata processing
for live multi-format video delivery. By using
machine-learning and Stream Video Quality (SVQ)
Synamedia's patented light weight and real-time quality
metric technology, Virtual DCM can scale automatically
to provide maximum video quality at minimum bandwidth
and storage costs. This enables broadcasters, content
providers, and service providers to meet their service
requirements for premium picture quality, bandwidth
efficiency, and multiscreen transcoding/encoding.
Synamedia's PNC platform is a
sophisticated, highly reliable and easy-to-use content
delivery system that provides network management,
improved security, decoder management, monitoring and
analytics and focused on advanced revenue protection.
The Synamedia D9800 Network Transport Receiver is the
most versatile network receiver available today,
offering hardware configurability and Over-The-Air (OTA)
licensing that allows for customization as part of the
video distribution handoff to service providers. This
platform complements or transitions traditional
satellite distribution with a variety of IP-based video
delivery mechanisms.
"WarnerMedia Asia Pacific is one of
the most progressive content providers in the industry
today. Thanks to that, they are the
ideal partner to illustrate how advanced technologies
can continue to evolve content delivery," said Julien
Signes, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Video
Processing, Synamedia. "It's yet another reinforcement
to the industry that Synamedia is committed to endless
innovation."
