Allegro DVT is well-known in the field of video compression and currently has two
business units:




- Broadcast business unit: development of OTT & IPTV encoding software and
appliances for broadcasters and service providers
- Semiconductor business unit: development of compliance streams and hardware
video IPs for chipset manufacturers


Keepixo has been created to rationalize these two entities and to focus more
efficiently on the rapidly growing software-based head-end market.



"Over the last 10 years, Allegro has developed world-class software-based head-end
solutions. Our technology has been used by more than 130 customers including 40 tier-1
operators. Thanks to this unique expertise, Keepixo is perfectly positioned to benefit
from the rapid expansion of the software-based head-end market," said Pierre Marty,
Allegro DVT's CEO.



Keepixo is dedicated to offering a complete range of components that broadcasters and
service providers need for creating their OTT TV preparation & delivery chain, including:




- Genova Live: high density software-based live H.264 / HEVC encoder. Up to
18 HD HEVC services per RU
- Genova File: file encoder for 4K 10 bit VOD
- Genova Origin: for delivery, including Catch-Up, Start-Over, Time-Shift and
nPVR functions


Using software as its base, the Genova product line facilitates deployment, and can be
quickly upgraded with new functions or codecs for the rapidly changing OTT environment.



"The creation of Keepixo will improve our visibility, brand awareness, and our ability
to develop innovative solutions for our customers," said Jerome Blanc, Keepixo's Product
Manager.



Keepixo will be exhibiting its products under its new name for the first time at TV
Connect, booth 154.
