PRINCETON. N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SES S.A. (NYSE Paris:SESG) (LuxX:SESG), a world-leading satellite operator announced today the addition of 4KUniverse Ultra HD programming on UHD1, a collaborative SES Ultra HD channel for North American cable operators, telcos and their audiences, unveiled earlier this year.
Mance Media’s 4KUniverse content includes documentaries, theatrical movies, experimental films, feature films and television series. The Ultra HD content will be featured on UHD1 and is delivered over SES-3, one of three SES satellites (SES-1, SES-3, and AMC-18) that comprise SES’s Ultra HD distribution neighborhood at the center of the orbital arc over North America.
UHD1 is one of four Ultra HD channels to be featured on SES’s Ultra HD platform in North America. This platform is an end-to-end solution that is accelerating the delivery of television to homes served by multichannel video program distributors (MVPDs) across North America. In total, SES currently delivers eight Ultra HD channels globally, four of them for the North American markets (NASA TV UHD, Fashion One 4K, High 4K TV, along with UHD1).
“Mance Media and 4KUniverse bring exciting new content to the fast-growing lineup on UHD1, our collaborative 4K Ultra HD channel that serves as a venue for content owners, producers and future networks to showcase their programming as they build out their 4K Ultra HD offerings,” said Steve Corda, Vice President, Business Development North America for SES. “SES has by far the largest Ultra HD offering in North America and around the world. A robust Ultra HD channel offering is essential, as consumers continue to purchase Ultra HDTVs in record numbers throughout the region.”
“UHD1 provides us with another premium outlet for 4KUniverse,” noted Matthew Mancinelli, Founder and CEO of 4KUniverse. “With the support of global satellite operator SES, our 4KUniverse content and channel will be available to millions of cable, IPTV and other subscribers across the U.S. and around the world.”
