ATEME, a company specializing in video compression solutions for the broadband market, along with Bull, recently announced that they would be expanding their cooperation in order to market ATEME video processing solutions on bullx blade systems.
TITAN by ATEM was initially launched in 2009 and is a scalable video processing platform that allows for large amounts of parallel content transcoding while maintaining close levels of fidelity to original sources. It has already been put to use for delivery of linear channels, Video On Demand or Catch Up TV services that provide material to TVs, PCs, tablets and smartphones to over 70 million subscribers internationally.
TITAN is built on bullx computing blades with almost 18 blades per 7U frame forming a super-dense High Performance Computing architecture optimized for large scale video processing.
In a release, Pascal Barbolosi, Vice President Extreme Computing at Bull, said, “Our bullx system is designed to deliver maximum power for the watt. Both partners share a similar culture of efficient innovation, so it is a great satisfaction that ATEME relies on our bullx systems to deploy their solutions for VOD service providers worldwide.”
At the end of the first quarter this year, new blades will be ready for integration with Intel (News 
- Alert) Xeon Family E5-2600 chipsets for better performance ability. Every one of the blades will be able to transcode several full HD linear channels with each one having multiple profiles.
Michel Artieres, CEO of ATEME said, "Bull powers TITAN with a very smart award winning design -- certainly the best off-the-shelf system on the market for video processing. This gives us a competitive edge; our TITAN clients benefit from the latest and greatest Intel technology at all times."
