[Via Satellite 01-19-2016] Beta Film, an international-operating distributor of television, home video and new media content, has extended its existing service contract with MX1, a wholly owned subsidiary of SES. This new long-term contract extends and expands the existing agreement, which began in 2009, and covers a wide range of services, including content, picture, data and meta-data management.

Beta Film uses the MX1 360 platform which bundles all MX1 media services and allows customers to manage and distribute content on a single, hybrid cloud-based platform.

“MX1 and its integrated workflow enables us to respond to customer requests faster and more efficiently, and to target and tailor the distribution of our digital video content to the exact needs of linear, on-demand or IP-based platforms,” said David Kratz, managing director of Beta Film GmbH in Munich.
