Vizada (formerly France Telecom Mobile Satellite Communications) has launched a version of SkyFile Video, a mobile satellite software solution for the maritime sector, the company announced July 18.

The software, for use on Inmarsat-Fleet 77 and 55 mobile satellite terminals, enables crew around the globe to edit, compress and transmit video images at relatively low costs, Vizada said.

The software originally was developed under FTMSC’s partnership with French yachting skipper Yves Parlier in order to edit and send race images to newsgathering organizations on land.
