Canal+ chose Ateme’s NEA for the VOD-to-Live workflow of its new TV+ streaming service.
Launched in May, TV+ brings together more than 80 live and catch-up channels and a selection of Canal+ SVOD content.
The NEA solution can be used for manifest manipulation, Dynamic Ad Insertion in live streaming and VOD-to-Live workflow. It means Canal can aggregate linear and VOD content from the various channels of the group and repurpose them in the new streaming offering.
“With the launch of this new service, Canal+ is positioning itself more than ever as the reference in terms of content aggregation, in particular by using its own large content portfolio to launch new channels.” said Philippe Rivas Platform Engineering Manager at Canal+. “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.”
The agreement continues a long-standing partnership between Canal and Ateme that has also included video compression, low-latency OTT streaming, multi-device packaging, and, most recently, dynamic ad insertion.
“We are very proud to continue supporting CANAL+ in its innovation journey,” said Remi Beaudouin, Chief Strategy Officer at Ateme. “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.”
TV+, launched in part against the Fubo-owned Molotov, is available for a monthly €2 with no contract.
