-- In 2010, Ecuador selected the ISDB-T standard for its transition to
digital terrestrial television - Ecuavisa, the leading commercial
broadcaster in the country in terms of prime time audience ratings,
demonstrated an early commitment to this transition project; its high
definition digital service has been on air over the cities of Quito and
Guayaquil since May 2013 and coverage will expand to other parts of
Ecuador in the future.
-- Kyrion AM2102 encoder chosen for reliability - ATEME's Kyrion AM series
received ISDB-T certification in 2008 and is today the single most
deployed encoder for digital terrestrial broadcasting in Latin America
with hundreds of installations in the sub-continent.
-- Ecuatronix provides system integration - ATEME's local partner
Ecuatronix was contracted by Ecuavisa to deploy an integrated digital
head-end system around the Kyrion encoder from ATEME and the ISMUX(TM)
ISDB-T multiplexer from Hitachi Linear, to broadcast HD, SD and One-seg
simultaneously. This new system was put on air this August 2014.
