Tolka announces a major addition to its product range. Tolka ADS is a personalized advertisement delivery system which allows broadcasters to deliver specific promotional content and commercials to targeted groups within their transmission footprint. A key feature of Tolka ADS is that no internet return path is needed.

Tolka announces a new addition to its management team with the appointment of Michael Day as chief executive officer, effective from May 1st 2021. His role will include spearheading the company's expansion as a globally active producer of equipment, software and services for the broadcast telecommunications market.

Tolka announces a major advance in digital television broadcasting with the introduction of TV AnyWhere. A complete and easy to manage solution, TV AnyWhere allows broadcasters to provide full support for revenue-generating personalized advertising without needing a return feed. TCAS (Tolka Conditional Access System) is integrated to ensure secure delivery.

ADTH reports a successful 2019, its 25th anniversary year, including the opening during May of a new research and development facility in Taiwan's capital city, Taipei. 2019 also saw a major expansion of the ADTH Tolka range of broadcast, OTT and IPTV content protection products.

"Television technology is advancing faster than ever as the industry gears for the transition from HD to HD-HDR, 4K-UHD and upward to 8K," says ADTH CEO Michael Day. "Viewers have the option of larger display screens than ever. At the same time we are seeing an increased public desire to watch programmes via mobile phones and tablets. These diverging influences have the potential to coalesce into extremely high resolution wearable displays if computer users and TV audiences are significantly attracted by that mode of viewing. We see our role as offering the greatest possible choice in what, when and where TV viewers choose to watch and delivering the technology to make that possible."

The April 2019 NAB Show was ADTH's busiest ever exhibition in terms of product introductions, including the DV3358, a competitively priced new satellite IRD providing full support for conditional access. DVB-S/S2 input compatible, it outputs TS over IP, ASI and 3G-SD

Atlanta DTH, Inc. (ADTH) announces that it has joined the SRT Alliance, a broadcast media industry collaboration created to develop an open-source protocol allowing low-latency video streaming over the internet. ADTH will provide full support for the SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) protocol.

Developed and pioneered by Haivision, the SRT protocol optimizes streaming performance across unpredictable networks with secure streams and easy firewall traversal. It accounts for packet loss, jitter, and fluctuating bandwidth, maintaining the integrity and quality of a video stream.

"With its 25 years of experience in the broadcast and telecommunication sectors, ADTH is a very welcome addition to our membership," comments Haivision CCO & EVP Strategic Alliances Peter Maag. "With increasing support from across the entire industry, SRT is rapidly becoming the globally preferred standard for low-latency video streaming."

"Efficient and effective standards are essential to the advancement of any industry, not least in the OTT streaming sector where signal delivery needs to overcome many technical variables," adds ADTH founder and Managing Director Michael Day. "The SRT Alliance's aims and objectives are in full accord with our own strategy of promoting the highest possible video quality-of-experience securely, efficiently and at the lowest possible latency. We are SRT-ready."

Celebrating its 25th anniversary at Broadcast Asia 2019, Atlanta DTH (ADTH) reports good levels of visitor traffic to its stand on all three days of the show. "The broadcast world may not be going 8K overnight but NHK'S introduction of a Super Hi-Vision satellite TV channel is having a very positive impact on business confidence throughout south east Asia with display manufacturers gearing to deliver affordable 8K displays in time for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics," says ADTH's Senior Vice President, APAC, Karlton Burn.
