Ateliere Creative Technologies announced that Synamedia is integrating Ateliere’s technologies into its VIVID Workflow-as-a-Service portfolio (WaaS) for enhanced delivery of low latency OTT (over-the-top) solutions.
The partnership brings new integrated streaming and on-demand offerings to the market, giving video service providers a competitive advantage for attracting and retaining subscribers by providing a streamlined and simplified viewing experience across all screens.
Synamedia has integrated technology from Ateliere into its VIVID Workflow-as-a-Service Low-Latency OTT offerings. With this solution, consumers can access live or on-demand OTT content, including cDVR, AVOD, SVOD, VOD, and more, directly through set-top-boxes (STBs) for main-screens as well as through content-focused apps on secondary screens or Smart televisions.
The technology collaboration combines Ateliere’s cloud-based media supply chain platforms, Ateliere Connect and Ateliere Discover, with Synamedia’s VIVID Workflow-as-a-Service Low-Latency OTT offerings. The Synamedia solutions leverage the latest advances in streaming protocols such as HLS-LL, DASH-LL, and HESP, combined with a smart containerization scheme to achieve the industry’s lowest latency at scale.
Ateliere’s Connect platform handles workflow orchestration for media ingest, management, packaging, and delivery preparation. Ateliere Discover creates on-demand streaming experiences and aggregates apps on cable boxes and set-top or mobile devices. The Synamedia user interface gives consumers an intuitive and logical dashboard for choosing, scheduling, and viewing their favorite content.

The new offering allows content owners, local channels, and broadcasters that don’t have an OTT presence to easily create on-demand experiences and take advantage of their established brand to reach audiences in exciting ways on any screen or device.
