MELBOURNE: TV5MONDE has partnered with Movideo, a cloud video platform that will manage the French-language network’s OTT services throughout the Asia Pacific.

Through the deal, TV5MONDE will replace TV5MONDE Player with the Movideo Managed Video Platform to deliver its services TV5MONDE+ Asie and TV5MONDE+ Pacifique. The switch will give online subscribers access to four live channels, VOD, catch-up TV and the progressive deployment of a full TV Everywhere service including apps and connected TV services.

“Thanks to Movideo, TV5MONDE will be able to launch a truly exceptional service to its subscribers all over Asia Pacific, with up to four live channels, VOD and catch-up TV,” said TV5MONDE Asia-Pacific Managing Director Alexandre Muller. “This new partnership will also allow us to progressively deploy our full TVE service in the region with smartphones and tablets app as well as connected TV services available to our online subscribers.”
