Features and Capabilities of the NEA Solution

Leveraging Ateme’s NEA solution, CANAL+ benefits from features such as manifest manipulation, dynamic ad insertion in live streaming, and VOD-to-Live workflows. These capabilities enable CANAL+ to aggregate both linear and VOD content from its various channels and repurpose them for the new streaming service.

CANAL+ and Ateme Collaboration

Philippe Rivas, Platform Engineering Manager at CANAL+, emphasized the strengthened position in content aggregation: “With the launch of this new service, CANAL+ is positioning itself more than ever as the reference in terms of content aggregation, particularly by using its own large content portfolio to launch new channels.” He expressed satisfaction with the collaboration, stating, “We are thrilled to collaborate with the Ateme team on this project. The NEA solution we co-created ensures smooth and efficient workflow operations, and totally reinvents the way to build and distribute OTT channels while maintaining a high quality of end-user experience.”

Ongoing Partnership and Technological Advancements

This new initiative continues the long-standing partnership between CANAL+ and Ateme. Over the years, Ateme has played a crucial role in CANAL+’s delivery chain transformation, contributing to advancements in high-quality video compression, low-latency OTT streaming, multi-device packaging, and dynamic ad insertion.

Ateme’s Perspective on the Partnership

Remi Beaudouin, Chief Strategy Officer at Ateme, commented on the partnership’s importance: “We are very proud to continue supporting CANAL+ in its innovation journey. The TV industry is undergoing significant changes, and CANAL+, through its brand and technological leadership, consistently demonstrates its ability to adapt to these changes and provide new ways of consuming video content.”
