Coding & Mux
Seamless virtualised encoding and multiplexing for unrivalled scalability, efficiency, and picture quality.
Our encoding and multiplexing services
Designed for broadcasters looking to future-proof, improve their operational efficiencies and move from power-hungry hardware to a fully flexible and virtualised system.
With many appliance-based products going end-of-life or not supporting the latest encoding and multiplexing features, now is the time to deploy in the cloud.
Wave goodbye to legacy hardware
It is a first-of-its-kind virtualised, hosted system, with fully resilient and geographically-diverse data centres - reducing your investment in property, and the time and cost of hardware installation.
More channels. Same quality.
Broadcast more channels per mux with no loss of picture quality. The result? You can provide more services with less hardware.
Reliable, efficient, and scalable.
Virtualised end-to-end encoders running kubernetes microservices - giving you greater flexibility to tailor services, streamline inventory, and build redundancy options.
We've got your back
Not only is everything remotely managed – from in-life to the latest technology upgrades – your services will operate without interruption.
Our International Media Centre provides 24/7 end-to-end system monitoring, staffed by highly specialised and experienced engineers.
Our experts will proactively detect and resolve potential system issues before they arise – allowing you to focus on what truly matters.
Case studies
Solving our customers' business challenges
BT collaborates with BFBS to future-proof media delivery to UK armed forces overseas.
TV upgrade for the UK: Freeview channels move into the cloud in landmark move from Digital 3&4 and BT.
Why choose BT?
Harnessing cutting-edge technology
By running extensive testing between the compression and muxing vendors, we can manage picture quality, efficiency and cost standards – so you know you’re always getting the best of the best.
World-leading expertise
We have written the playbook for developing extremely complex, virtualised encoding and multiplex systems, the first time a project of this scale has been implemented. Deployed for Digital 3&4 to 28 digital terrestrial TV regions, 100+ transmitter sites, reaching 18 million UK households.
Investing for the future
Substantial investment in our datacentres means they’re fully connected to run a multitude of co-tenanted applications - including the backend systems for our intelligent broadcast platform, Vena – making them much more efficient.
Sustainably powered
By upgrading from power-hungry hardware to a virtualised system hosted among our data centres with Ateme’s TITAN live encoders, you can achieve a 65% reduction in video distribution energy consumption over a three-year period.
