Anevia Collaborates with Intel to Reduce the Cost of Video Encoding for OTT

Anevia, a leading provider of OTT and IPTV software solutions, announces a
technical collaboration with Intel, enabling it to optimise the performance of
its video encoders - ultimately reducing the cost of encoding for OTT service
providers.

Thanks to Intel's latest technology using a new instruction set developed for
artificial intelligence called Vector Neural Network Instructions (VNNI), the
Anevia software-based Genova encoder can now enable 20% more channels at the
same CPU frequency - meaning OTT service providers can offer more services at
the same cost.

"We have a dedicated team of specialists with 15 years of experience in
encoding who have been working on second-generation Intel(r) Xeon(r) Platinum
processors since the end of 2018 via Intel's early access programme," says
Anevia cofounder and CTO Damien Lucas. "Our latest Genova encoders include
optimisations for these latest Intel Xeon processors."

"Encoder design must constantly be optimised in order to achieve the highest
possible transmission efficiency without compromising quality," adds Anevia's
EVP for Compression Products, Jérôme Blanc. "Anevia is one of the earliest
video and audio encoding companies to participate in Intel's early access
programmes. This collaboration gave us the processing resources needed to
advance this optimisation to a new level, ultimately enabling TV operators to
offer some 20 per cent more services without increasing their costs."

"Multichannel video delivery with scalable coding efficiency requires
significant compute and skill to implement for cloud-native services," said
Lynn Comp, vice president and general manager of the Visual Cloud Division at
Intel. "Anevia's innovative use of Intel Deep Learning Boost on
second-generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors to improve their encoding
solutions promises greater revenue potential for service providers with
increased stream density".

Anevia's Genova is a Linux-based multi-bitrate video encoder for live streaming
and video on demand, up to 4K ultra-high definition with high dynamic range.
Anevia's end-to-end offering also includes ultra-low latency packaging, origin
servers, Cloud DVR and a CDN solution for telcos and service providers to
implement their complete OTT TV service.
