Anevia Partners with NVIDIA to Achieve Highly Cost-Efficient 4K UHD HDR
Encoding

Anevia, a leading provider of OTT and IPTV software solutions, today announced
a major step forward in the affordability of 4K ultra-high-definition
high-dynamic-range processing. Anevia's Genova video compression encoders are
now optimised to work with NVIDIA(r) T4 GPUs, enabling OTT service providers to
deliver programmes in higher video quality without a commensurate increase in
costs.

"This new development secures Genova as one of the most powerful ranges of
video encoders in the OTT business - not just for SD and HD channels, but for
the rapidly expanding world of UHD HDR," says Jerome Blanc, EVP of Compression
Products at Anevia. "We have been working with NVIDIA to integrate its
latest-generation T4, which is one of the most recent graphics processing units
on the market. 4K needs huge computing resources, which T4 acceleration now
makes more affordable."

"The improvements we have achieved compared to the NVIDIA P4 card are nothing
short of astounding, with video quality gains of over 30 per cent, and still
enabling nine multi-rate 4K UHD HDR channels to be delivered from a single
server. This level of performance brings 4K UHD HDR well within the compass of
internet-based content delivery networking."

"Television display standards have advanced dramatically since the days of
525-line and 625-line standard definition," adds Anevia CEO Laurent Lafarge.
"Each evolutionary stage represents a major challenge for terrestrial,
satellite and OTT network operators alike. Our role is to turn these challenges
into opportunities so that our customers can deliver the increased video
quality their viewers appreciate as they invest in ever higher-quality display
devices. This latest progression in the performance of the Genova encoders
reflects very well on the skill and experience of both our technical
development team, and solutions partners such as NVIDIA."

"The NVIDIA T4 GPU, which is ideal for UHD signal processing, has achieved
great results with Anevia's Genova encoders," says Serge Palaric, vice
president of alliances, OEMs and embedded at NVIDIA. "The T4's breakthrough
video capabilities are enabling new AI-based experiences, products and
services."

Anevia's Genova range of Linux-based high-definition video encoders can be
deployed across both private and public IP networks. Supporting a range of
encoding modes, they allow operators to choose whether to prioritise quality or
speed.

Based on the NVIDIA Turing(tm) architecture and packaged in an energy-efficient
70-watt, small PCIe form factor, the NVIDIA T4 GPU accelerates diverse cloud
workloads, including high performance computing, deep learning training and
inference, machine learning, data science and analytics, and virtual
graphics.
