Arqiva has launched a new pay-per-use interchange for rights holders, broadcasters and platform operators.
The cloud-based pay-per-use interchange for rights holders, broadcasters and platform operators, known as Arqade, will also take content from conventional fibre and satellite inputs, delivers to TV channels, platforms and online services for streaming and video publishing.
Arqade allows content owners to create and upload content packages to the secure platform, where the permission-based entitlement feature ensures that only those with appropriate rights can gain access.
“Arqade gives rightsholders and channel owners an easy way to syndicate their live and linear content while retaining complete control over access,” explains Greg Burns, Head of Products at Arqiva. “Broadcasters and TV platform operators can now rapidly discover, review and request public packages of channels or events to distribute through their own products and services. Arqade is a simple-to-use shop window for originators and the best way for broadcasters and brands to trial new services, break new markets and increase audiences.”
Arqiva provides media services and transmission facilities for broadcasters including BBC, ITV and Sky.
