Amagi Shortlisted In IBC 2015
Innovation Awards Contest
A

magi has been named a finalist in
the IBC 2015 Innovation Awards
contest in the Content Distribution
category.
Amagi has been shortlisted for its
innovative content regionalisation
solution provided to Sundance Channel
Global. Using Amagi's solution, the
network has been able to replace
key content on their Latin American

feed, content devoted exclusively to
the Brazilian audience, without using
separate satellite feeds and without
any compromise in audiovisual quality.
"Our entry in the IBC 2015 Innovation
Awards reflects a growing need for
TV networks to deliver regionalised
channels
efficiently
and
costeffectively," said Srividhya Srinivasan,
Co-Founder, Amagi. "Thanks to
Amagi's advanced cloud technologies,
our clients have been able to address
viewer preferences around the world
at a fraction of the cost compared

with traditional satellite and fibrebased delivery models." At the heart
of the solution is Amagi's STORM
regionalisation platform.
Sundance Channel Global deployed
Amagi's enhanced satellite receiver
STORM IRD at headends in Brazil.
Unlike traditional solutions, STORM
is capable of receiving a satellite feed,
recognising remote-insertion triggers,
and inserting regional content.
Amagi say that STORM enables
broadcasters to replace bugs, logos,
and other channel graphics with ease.
