Unique
Digital, the leading European digital content service provider and Digital
Spider, Finland’s market leading digital delivery provider, will together
deploy MovieTransit in Finland.
MovieTransit™, Unique’s market leading content
distribution solution has been fully operational to all cinemas in Norway for
over 18 months and the deployment has now extended to cover sites in Sweden,
Denmark, the UK, Ireland and Spain.
The system comprises a bespoke
client receiver per cinema, running Unique’s proprietary software that
optimizes available local bandwidth and connects via Unique’s own high speed
terrestrial backbone to dedicated high capacity distribution nodes.
Distributors make booking requests through a dedicated web portal and both them
and their cinema customers can monitor and track progress of each delivery
using a unique smartphone App.
“We have already proved the
concept of digital distribution of feature length content in Finland with our
Digital Spider on-demand delivery solution with over 50% market share”, said
Tommi Gröhn, Director Digital Spider adding “however we knew that the market
required a full integrated solution that was accepted by both our distribution
customers as well as the cinema clients. MovieTransit is a well proven solution
that provides a complete end-to-end service and we are delighted to be
partnering with Unique Digital to deliver a market leading solution in Finland.”
“We are delighted to be working
with Tommi and his team at Digital Spider to deploy our MovieTransit IP based
digital delivery solution in Finland “said Rod Wheeler, Sales and Marketing
Director for Unique Digital. “We have already carried out successful trials
with the leading cinemas in Finland and following our successful deployments in
Scandinavia and the UK we are confident we can together provide a world-class
service to distributors and cinemas alike.
Both companies will be
launching the new service at the Finnish Film Instittue 2014 Joensuu between 26th-28th
August.
