+ Extension option from 350 to 700 TV channels

Diepholz/Bremen - 2 June 2016: artec technologies AG (WKN 520958), a specialist for the network and Internet-based transmission, recording, processing and analysis of video/audio and TV data, has won an international tender and obtained a new large-scale order in the TV analysis sector from a leading global sports channel based in Qatar. The order volume in excess of EUR 1 million will be fully reflected in sales revenues already in summer 2016.

The contract comprises a complete TV monitoring and content analysis system with IPTV connection, which is developed and marketed by artec technologies under the XentauriX brand name. At the first stage, some 350 TV channels will be documented, analysed and evaluated, with an extension to a total of 700 TV channels planned for a later date.

"We are proud that we were able to beat renowned international competitors. We are the only supplier to offer all systems representing the latest state of the art from a single source as well as great user friendliness," says Thomas Hoffmann, CEO of artec technologies AG. "The contract is a technological milestone for our company, as it is the first to cover our full range of services, from data storage to analysis to the provision of TV content via the Intranet or Internet to mobile terminals."

The project structure combines artec's most important product innovations of the past years such as the content matching technology, which allows the TV channel to detect its own contents on other TV channels so as to prevent unauthorised use and protect its broadcasting rights. In addition, the artec system supports OTT applications for the distribution of TV content to mobile terminals. Over-the-top content (OTT) is the delivery of audio, video, and other media over the Internet without the involvement of a service provider in the control or distribution of the content.

The contract makes artec one of the world's top suppliers of intelligent media solutions for TV stations, online media companies, cable network operators and providers of streaming services.
