Red Bee Media is supporting French SVOD platform SALTO with ongoing content management services. SALTO is relying on Red Bee to deliver Digital Asset Management (DAM), Post-Production for promotional material and Quality Check of assets being added to the platform. With a strong legacy of providing managed media services, Red Bee has implemented an efficient solution combining the company’s own cloud-based Media Gateway and a fit for purpose DAM-system from middle-ware provider Perfect Memory.

 

SALTO launched on October 20th, 2020 and brings the best of catch-up TV and streaming content into one service. With over 15,000 hours of content, its offering comes in a wide variety of genres, both from SALTO’s three stakeholders (France’s largest broadcast providers, TF1, France Télévisions and M6), and from agreements they signed with content owners. Red Bee was contracted to deliver a content management solution that could both manage ingestion from legacy media management platforms, as well as Digital Asset Management and metadata enrichment. Through a rigorous benchmarking study carried out by Red Bee, Perfect Memory was chosen as the DAM-provider to complement Red Bee’s cloud-based Media Gateway services.

"Red Bee Media is a highly experienced and innovative provider of media services, internationally and in France, which made the choice easy when we were looking for a content management partner for SALTO. The managed services they provide enables efficient collaboration between all contributors to SALTO, which has proven instrumental to the launch and continued success of the platform. It was vital to have Red Bee as a partner in this project.”

“We are proud to be a part of the launch of SALTO and the ongoing transformation of the French broadcasting industry,” says Stéphane Grandvarlet, Head of Market Area Southern Europe, Red Bee. “With SALTO, French audiences will get access to a catalogue of some of the best broadcasting content available in the country.
