Ateme and Fraunhofer join forces to deliver next generation audio

Fraunhofer IIS, primary developer of the MPEG-H Audio system, and Ateme, a global producer of video compression and delivery solutions, have announced that they facilitate the delivery of personalized and immersive sound experiences with the integration of Fraunhofer’s MPEG-H Audio into Ateme’s Kyrion encoders.

Due to this integration, broadcasters can now provide immersive sound that can be personalized via existing ISDB-T and DVB broadcast networks. This gives content providers faster access to a sophisticated audio system. As a solution for Brazil’s existing ISDB-Tb terrestrial broadcast system, Kyrion is suited for the support of the ongoing TV 2.5 rollout in Brazil. This intermediate broadcast standard facilitates the transition to the next generation TV 3.0 broadcast standard that is expected to be launched in 2025.

Globo, the largest media group in Latin America, has already used Ateme’s Kyrion encoders to broadcast prestigious events - including the 2022 football world cup and this year’s production of the Rio de Janeiro and Recife Carnival parades - with MPEG-H Audio. Kyrion has enabled Globo to deploy the new features of the TV 2.5 system with MPEG-H Audio in their 24/7 broadcast.

“Integrating MPEG-H Audio into Ateme’s Kyrion encoders is a great step forward for a widespread MPEG-H Audio delivery”, explains Adrian Murtaza, Senior Manager Technology and Standards at Fraunhofer IIS. “This is a major addition to Ateme’s solutions, which already support MPEG-H Audio and VVC video in Titan transcoders, currently used by Globo and the SBTVD Forum for the first tests of TV 3.0 in Brazil.”
