AMSTERDAM, Sept. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — In advance of the upcoming IBC 2024, Bedrock and Eluvio announced a new strategic agreement to bring innovative streaming video technology to broadcasters and entertainment companies across Europe, powered by the Eluvio Content Fabric. In the joint effort, Bedrock will leverage the Eluvio Content Fabric to unlock the height of broadcast streaming innovation, including ultra-low-latency, secure, and cost-effective video streaming at scale, for live and on-demand monetization, with AI discovery, tamper-proof content, and end-to-end analytics.

Bedrock is a media-tech venture, formed as a JV between M6 and RTL Group (part of Bertelsmann) with more than fifteen years of streaming expertise. The company creates and operates full-scope streaming platforms for leading media companies with best-in-class user experiences across AVOD, SVOD and hybrid business models. Bedrock is the trusted strategic streaming partner, delivering on-demand video, linear channels, and live sports for more than 45 million users in Europe. The Eluvio Content Fabric is a next-generation content distribution and storage protocol transforming the delivery and monetization of premium video and digital media. It provides fast, efficient, tamper-proof streaming and download, AI discovery, and monetization of any digital media content at scale. Companies and creators whose content experiences have been powered by Eluvio include Amazon Studios/MGM, Dolly Parton, European Professional Club Rugby, FOX, SONY Pictures, Telstra, UEFA, Warner Bros., WWE, and others.

The Eluvio Content Fabric significantly simplifies video distribution by replacing file-based workflows and legacy media clouds and CDNs with a hyper-efficient and extensible media delivery pipeline and streaming solution in protocol. The novel approach dramatically reduces the bandwidth and storage used as compared to traditional clouds and CDNs and slashes costs and carbon footprint. It also enables unlimited re-use of the same content without making file copies or redistribution, enables emergent and personalized experiences, and provides inherent content security, proof of authenticity and rights control. The software protocol runs decentralized over TCP/IP on an open global network of nodes, without third-party CDNs or media clouds. Eluvio’s latest Casablanca release, Creator Studio, Content Analytics and Reporting and AI Content Understanding apps are built on the Content Fabric.

“At Bedrock, we are dedicated to continuously innovating to elevate the streaming experiences for our media and entertainment customers across Europe, and that’s the driving force behind our new strategic collaboration with Eluvio,” said Jonas Engwall, CEO of Bedrock. “By combining Bedrock’s extensive reach and deep expertise with Eluvio’s next-gen capabilities, we hope to establish a new benchmark for how our customers can efficiently manage, deliver, and monetize premium video content to their audiences.”

By integrating the Fabric under Bedrock’s market-leading platform, together we bring broadcasters and entertainment companies a superior video streaming capability that is both substantially more cost effective and future proof for a generation.
