Under the ten-year agreement announced by SES, QVC will utilize
additional capacity for its upgrade to Ultra HD and rely on SES’s
wholly-owned subsidiary MX1 for encoding in HEVC format and uplink
services. QVC is also renewing capacity for distribution of the
channel in Standard and High Definition.
“As we carry the largest line-up of HD and UHD channels
worldwide, it is part of our DNA to help our customers bring the
best possible picture quality to their audience. We are very
excited to continue working with QVC for its transmission not only
in SD and in HD, but now also in Ultra HD,” said Ferdinand Kayser,
CEO of SES Video. “This agreement clearly underlines the ability of
SES Video, augmented by MX1, to offer its customers a full suite of
video solutions.”
“We want to offer our customers the best possible shopping
experience through our various sales channels. Our goal is for
viewers to receive our TV programming in the best possible picture
quality – and broadcasting in Ultra HD confirms this claim,” said
Mathias Bork, CEO of QVC Germany.
