Red Bee Media is to take on the delivery if end to end video services for the Dutch arm of RTL.
Following an initial transfer of services last month, control and monitoring will be migrated from RTL’s own infrastructure to the Red Bee Media MCR in Hilversum.
It means all live signal acquisition, video routing, processing, monitoring, reporting and distribution required by RTL as one of the largest commercial broadcasters in the region, will be outsourced to Red Bee Media.
“It is with full confidence in their experience and innovative mindset that we are outsourcing our MCR operations to Red Bee Media. They have proven to be the best equipped service provider to maintain the seamless operation of our MCR activities and the innovative partner to support in modernizing our ways of working. We are looking forward to transferring into a future proof IP-based service that will provide us the flexibility and high quality we require.” Says Giovanni Piccirilli, CTO RTL Netherlands.
“With locations in London, Paris, Stockholm and Hilversum, we consider our international MCR services as a key strategic pillar to ensure future broadcast business, enabled by our recently launched all IP MCR platform,” adds says Josbert van Rooijen, Head of Market Area Benelux, Central & Eastern Europe. We can now provide access to new MCR business models with flexible port-as-a-service concepts based on subscriptions and pay-per-use models”.
