Set to become Europe’s first free-to-air UHD service, German shopping channel Pearl.tv will launch via SES Platform Services after it was announced that the company will provide encoding and satellite uplink when Enstyle’s shopping channel launches in September.
Sophie Lersch, the chief product officer for services at SES Platform Services, explained: “UHD places specific demands on workflows in the content management, playout and encoding sectors, an area in which we’ve gained a lot of know-how over the past few years.
“As a result, we can now offer all services that broadcasters and content providers need in order to market and distribute their content in UHD – linear or on-demand, and via satellite or the Internet.”
