SES Platform Services says that its Fluid Hub solution has now been adopted by more than 10 broadcasters, just a few months after its launch.
Fluid Hub, a managed cloud service for the management and distribution of video content, was released in April. Its customer base includes broadcasters Fox International Channels Germany and Turner, as well as content creators and distributors such as Beta Film. Two customers are already using it to manage and distribute Ultra High Definition (UHD) content. Among them Ultra HD channel Insight.
“To have so many customers choosing the solution so soon after launch and for UHD content reinforces how vital the service is to the broadcasting market,” said Sophie Lersch, Chief Product Officer for Services at SES Platform Services. “The feedback from our customers is very positive, with many of them emphasizing the intuitive interface and easy-to-use workflow, which enables content delivery via a few simple steps. In regards to UHD content, we are one of the first service providers capable of offering a full workflow chain all the way up to delivery to VOD portals, playout and uplink to our satellites.”
Currently, SES Platform Services distributes more than 2,000 hours of video content per month to all major VOD portals in central Europe.
