Origin Digital Upgrades its Event Services Offering

Veteran IP Broadcasting Company Expands Capabilities through New Teleport Facilities to Deliver High-Quality Live or VOD Event Programming to Any Device
New Content Acquisition & Satellite Downlink Capabilities Provide Comprehensive Functionalities Across the United States & Europe

Origin Digital, an Accenture company and leader in global IP broadcasting, today announced expanded access to content through three globally distributed satellite downlink facilities. These upgrades will improve the acquisition and production of live or video-on-demand (VOD) event services as part of the company's overall suite of Internet video solutions.

Enhancing a portfolio that already includes the recently launched "business television solution" and Odaptor, a proprietary multi-media content management system, Origin Digital has expanded its satellite downlink capabilities allowing content producers to deliver high-quality live or on-demand sports, news and entertainment programming to audiences around the world, on any Internet connected device. Currently, major sports leagues in North America and Europe are utilizing Origin Digital's event services offering to produce, package and broadcast world-class sporting events to fans around the world.

Earlier this year, Origin Digital expanded its event services capabilities by acquiring a state-of-the-art downlink and encoding facility in Denver, CO. Adding to existing NY and UK based high-definition media production facilities, this facility greatly enhances the company's ability to seamlessly deliver live events by accessing a comprehensive range of signal acquisition capacity that includes full domestic and European downlink capabilities. Additionally, Origin Digital now maintains extended access to all major backhaul providers which can intelligently encode media into virtually any format. Benefits from access to this facility for content producers include:

• 24/7 Availability - resources available around the clock
• Enhanced Intelligence - expertise includes setup and optimization of encoder equipment and sophisticated operational parameters
• Affordability - reasonable pricing tiers based on time and resources required
• Scalability - can accommodate requests regardless of size and time requirements

Moreover, companies and brands can realize a dual benefit from this increased capacity that offers greater economies of scale for 1) more cost-effective services for customers improving ROI and 2) giving end-users greater viewing choice from virtually any device, anywhere in the world. As a subsidiary of Accenture, Origin Digital is able to offer greater scalability, superior flexibility and more cost-effective services than its competition. The company has developed a comprehensive set of media delivery solutions to address the entire range of communication needs, packaging in the capability to include live events, user generated content, social media, media management, and much more. By packaging these assets to address the most evident market gaps, Origin Digital enables brands and businesses to leverage the power of video on the web in ways that previously didn't exist.
