NEWS FACTS:

• ATEME is innovating again by supporting up to two channels of encoding at the highest quality level in its new CM5000 encoder.
• Each of the two independent video channels supports up to 1080P60 resolution and frame rate and up to MPEG-4 4:2:2 10-bit encoding format – with up to 110 Mbps bitrate on each channel. With Kyrion encoders, this is a level of quality where compression is "visually lossless."
• The CM5000 is used by Turner to reduce the size of flight cases that its team takes to the field for the production of multi-camera events.
• Turner used the CM5000 dual channel encoder at a recent Hollywood film and television awards ceremony, providing production crews with the technology to simultaneously transmit the feeds of cameras pointing to the red carpet and those used for interviews.
