SES Platform Services GmbH recently announced it is providing a range of services
for Insight, the first Ultra-HD channel of Television Entertainment Reality Network
(TERN).
The new linear and non-linear channel launched in Asia and Europe and is available
both in HD and Ultra-HD quality. Under a long-term agreement, SES Platform
Services is providing a comprehensive range of services from content management
to linear and non-linear distribution. The entire channel content is stored in Fluid
MAM, a managed cloud environment for content and metadata management and
distribution to any platform, including video-on-demand (VOD), streaming and
satellite.
Based on Fluid MAM, SES Platform Services is supplying a flexible playout solution
including multi-level quality checks and content segmentation, making it easy to
schedule commercial breaks. This full end-to-end Ultra-HD playout is one of the
first solutions available worldwide. SES Platform Services is also encoding the
signals (H.264 for HD, HEVC for Ultra HD) and the uplink to the Astra satellites on
19.2 degrees East. For the non-linear distribution of the channel, SES Platform
Services is preparing and delivering live streams and VOD-content to Insight’s
respective OTT platforms.
