Also available is Amagi CONTENT PLUS that will enable THEMA to manage the workflows of multiple streaming TV channels and other video-on-demand (VoD) assets.

Sylvie Michel, Deputy CEO of THEMA, said, “Amagi’s cloud-built solutions, Amagi CLOUDPORT and Amagi PLANNER, have been instrumental in helping us elevate our media asset management and worldwide distribution to FAST platforms such as Xiaomi, LG, TCL, and Roku.

“As we extend our reach across the globe, we hope to increasingly tap into Amagi’s extensive distribution network and rich expertise in bringing new platforms on board.”
