Only a few months after launch, the Fluid Hub-managed cloud video content service from SES's platform services division has racked up orders from more than ten broadcasters.


Fluid Hub is designed to offer a platform for the secure delivery of video content and metadata management and distribution to any platform, including video-on-demand (VOD), streaming and satellite. Currently, SES Platform Services distributes more than 2,000 hours of video content per month to all major VOD portals in central Europe.

The product's customer base currently includes broadcasters Fox International Channels Germany and Turner, as well as content creators and distributors such as Beta Film. Two customers are already using it to manage and distribute ultra HD content, including INSIGHT, the first-ever Ultra HD channel of Television Entertainment Reality Network.

"To have so many customers choosing Fluid Hub so soon after launch and for ultra HD content reinforces how vital the service is to the broadcasting market," said Sophie Lersch, chief product officer for services at SES Platform Services. "The feedback from our customers is very positive, with many of them emphasising the intuitive interface and easy-to-use workflow, which enables content delivery via a few simple steps. In regards to ultra HD content, we are one of the first service providers capable of offering a full workflow chain all the way up to delivery to VOD portals, playout and uplink to our satellites."
