Anevia Announces 15 Years of Collaboration with the INA to Preserve France's
Audio-visual Heritage

Anevia, a leading provider of OTT and IPTV software solutions, announces 15
years of exclusive collaboration with the National Audio-visual Institute
(INA), a state-owned French audio-visual and digital company, to preserve
France's audio-visual heritage by creating a central repository to meet the
legal requirement for storage and access to original television and radio
channels in France.

Listed in the Heritage Code, the repository constitutes a reference collection
of audio-visual materials, an essential element of France's national collective
memory. In 1992 the law extended this requirement to radio and television
broadcasters and entrusted the INA with the task of collecting and storing a
copy of all new programmes of French origin being broadcast for the first time,
making the INA the fourth national institute - together with the National
library of France, CNC and the Ministry of the Interior - with the
responsibility for managing the process of acquiring legally required archives
in France.

The INA tested Anevia's first headend technology in 2004, in order to acquire
and store TV channels in digital format. Since 2005, Anevia has been the
exclusive supplier of IPTV based technology to the INA, enabling it to replace
the magnetic tape storage it had started in 1995.

The INA makes this audio-visual heritage accessible for consultation and
research purposes in seven of its sites - the Bibliothèque Nationale de France
in Paris and its six regional locations (Lille, Rennes, Strasbourg, Lyon,
Marseille and Toulouse) - in addition to more than 40 provincial libraries as
well as multimedia and film libraries all over France.

"With Anevia's Flamingo headend technology we can capture over 100 TV and 67
radio channels" says Stanislas Defawes, Head of Operations - Radio & TV
Acquisition at the INA. "The scope of the repository has evolved enormously
over the last 15 years thanks to Anevia's technology. Its technically advanced
and robust headends allow us to capture channels and provide reliable access to
them 24/7 without interruption."

"The INA and Anevia have evolved and grown together," adds Natalia Shapkina,
Sales Director at Anevia. "The INA is a highly valued and unique partner for us
having become a loyal user of each of our product ranges as soon as they are
released to the market. In addition to creating national archives, Anevia's
technologies are also used by the INA's training and research centre, whose
primary aim is to develop and transmit knowledge in the audio-visual, media and
digital fields, especially for courses in TV over IP, which is our DNA."
