Gaumont is launching an SVOD service featuring films from French black and white cinema on the Netgem Content-as-a-Service platform.
Gaumont Classique will offer 200 titles and 70 hours of additional content. It will benefit from some of the Netgem platform features including the dynamic editorialization of films and their associated content, control of the number of devices allowed for simultaneous viewing, subtitling, and ‘sustainable streaming’, which allows the bandwidth of films to be reduced, limiting their environmental impact.
Mathias Hautefort, CEO of Netgem Group said: “Having the privilege of working with the world’s oldest film company to give access to its greatest film productions available to the public is an important recognition for Netgem’s “Content-as-a-Service” solution and a validation of the potential for our Platform to enable sophisticated SVOD services for Media companies.”
Jérôme Soulet, Library Director of Gaumont added: “It was essential for Gaumont Classique to rely on a solid French partner, with a proven expertise, a key player in content technology, and willing to enable us to quickly launch a very advanced Video subscription service.”
