NEW YORK, Nov. 12, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- (Content
and Communications World, Hall 1C, Booth #1136), When the New
York Racing Association (NYRA) began gearing up for the Belmont
Stakes Races in June, it turned to ATEME for its encoding
technology expertise and the video quality of its Kyrion CM5000 to
transmit the third race of the Triple Crown. Today, the association
depends on the equipment to broadcast its high-value content in
HD.
- High-stakes racing produces high-stakes content – The
NYRA holds the exclusive rights for the live broadcast of some of
the most prestigious horse races in the world until 2033. With
races being broadcast from Belmont, Aqueduct and Saratoga, the association looked to ATEME to
provide a modular encoding solution that guaranteed total
operability for the transmission of the races for 2014 and
beyond.
- Kyrion selected for exceptional video quality – The
CM5000 is a modular encoding platform dedicated to contribution
over satellite and IP/ASI networks. Known for its user-friendly
interface and exceptional video quality, the equipment is
lightweight and boasts low power consumption and fast re-boot
time.
- Robust contribution of HD services – The NYRA initially
used the equipment to transmit HD contribution services to MSG+,
Time Warner Cable and Cablevision for the Belmont Stakes in
New York, the third race of the
Triple Crown. As all ATEME products are fully standards compliant
and the most interoperable in the industry, NYRA could be confident
that its Kyrion encoded signals would be compatible with any brand
of decoder used by its clients.
Dan Silver, director of
television and interactive platforms, New York Racing Association,
said: "When you are producing content for the second-richest
day of racing on the North American racing calendar, there is a lot
at stake, literally. We needed an encoding solution that would
provide our customers with the best video quality on the market. We
selected the Kyrion CM5000 for its high-fidelity video, reliability
and user-friendly interface for our operators, all of which were
key considerations when upgrading our equipment for today and in
the future."
