Ascent Media Group, Akamai And Sofatronic Team To Power Blu-Ray Disc Live Platform

Ascent Media Group has announced that it has teamed with Akamai Technologies and Sofatronic to create an integrated digital workflow and distribution solution for the production, hosting and delivery of BD Live functionality for Blu-ray Discs.
Available through Ascent Media's Blink Digital, the platform provides a more efficient and cost effective way for movie studios and content creators to harness the full power of BD Live's internet-enabled features, such as bonus content, online community and interactive and e-commerce applications.
Jose Royo, CEO of Ascent Media Group, said: "In partnership with industry leaders Akamai and Sofatronic, we are able to offer studios a new solution to BD Live functionality which simplified the process of delivering this new and exciting interactive experience to the consumer.
"Our head-to-toe package still leaves room for flexibility, plus our best-in-breed partnership allows us to deliver high-quality performance with greater efficiencies for our studio and Blu-ray distribution partners.
Under the joint initiative, Sofatronic is responsible for the development of a new software platform based off its Kaleidoscope technology, a development platform for interactive entertainment on Blu-ray.
Akamai's global distribution platform will enable internet-connected devices to support large file downloads and acceleration of rich, interactive media content and applications. Blink Digital is responsible for providing creative delivery, design, authoring and programming services and BD Live integration for high quality Blue-ray Disc production.
