MediaHub playout for PacificTV Aus

MediaHub to playout Australian programmes to Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands.

MediaHub has been appointed to manage playout tender for PacificAus TV.

Australian television programmes from Free TV Australia will be available to broadcast partners in Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, Kiribati, Tuvalu and Nauru. This includes 1,000 hours of content per year for three years including lifestyle programmes, factual programmes, children’s programmes, drama, reality TV and sport.

MediaHub CEO Alan Sweeney said, “Free TV released an RFP to the greater broadcast industry and MediaHub Australia won the tender process. This means we now supply content acquisition, aggregation, playout and distribution services in order to deliver the 1,000 hours of content per year to nine Pacific island nations at a Service Level Agreement (SLA) of 99.99%. The core requirement is to provide the functionality to receive content from the commercial metropolitan networks, various production companies and sporting organisations such as the AFL and NRL. We also aggregate this content to playout 5 to 7 hours per day and uplink that content to the Intelsat 19 satellite. All of the content is transcoded and uploaded to the MediaHub ExchangeHub portal for the Pacific Island broadcasters to download the programs as VOD assets.”

Since the PacificAus TV initiative went live MediaHub has ingested, added metadata to and QCd over 1,500 programmes and over 1000 hours of content from multiple providers into the MediaHub MAM system in under 4 weeks.
