The SeaChange Solution: The SeaChange Broadcast MediaLibrary/MediaClient platform is helping JLC to not only deliver Kyotei-related (hydroplane racing) programming to traditional broadcast television audiences in Japan; it is also setting the stage for JLC’s introduction of an HD service and content delivery to mobile phones and PC’s.
What they said: “We’re uniquely serving an eager audience that’s hungry for live coverage, highlights and results from over 2,100 hydroplane races every year. Now we’re preparing to complement our six nationwide direct-to-home broadcast channels with broadband and mobile video, and we’re well on the way to HD service too, locking in our position as Japan’s leading source for all things Kyotei. SeaChange’s solution will allow us to serve our viewers wherever they go with very simple software upgrades to our original investment.”
