OpenTV has acquired the Australian television workflow automation business Ruzz TV. The Sydney-based company has previously supplied technology to ITV (Granada), SBS Australia, ABC Australia, Seven Network Australia, Foxtel and Austar.
“Ruzz TV is an innovative provider of high-quality technology solutions for broadcasters,” said Ben Bennett, OpenTV’s Chief Executive Officer in a statement. “With this acquisition, we are excited to complement our products and offer broadcasters around the world the right components to manage their workflow and content processes quickly and efficiently.”
The Ruzz TV technology platform optimises systems and components from multiple vendors, managing the assembly and transmission stream from scheduling and sales through to transmission and distribution. In the multichannel environment it can optimise pay-per-view streams and include EPG data.
