As part of the agreement, Vivicast Media provides multi-platform
licensing of Nature Relaxation programming throughout North America. The
Nature Relaxation Ultra HD channel feed originates from SES's Woodbine,
Maryland mediaport, where it is prepared and uplinked to the SES-1
satellite and distributed to cable and broadcast distribution points
throughout the US and the North American region.
Nature Relaxation Ultra HD TV results from a partnership between the
world's leading HD relaxation channel NatureVision TV and the highly
acclaimed nature cinematographer David Huting, who founded Nature
Relaxation. The channel features more than 800 hours of beautiful,
calming nature scenes, perfectly matched with soothing music designed to
help viewers de-stress, relax, study or sleep. The new UHD channel
captures everything from majestic mountain ranges and waterfalls to
incredible canyons, enchanted forests, brewing storms, wonderful
wildlife and mesmerizing sunsets around the world in stunning, high
picture quality 4K.
"Nature Relaxation Ultra HD offers an unsurpassed and growing collection
of video that allows viewers to escape the daily rat race of life. Just
like with our NatureVision TV HD channel, audiences can simply tune in
to Nature Relaxation 4K to replace their worries with the wonders of
nature and benefit from watching the calming and comforting nature
vignettes after a long day," explained Jon Gorchow, CEO of NatureVision
TV. "We chose SES, the world's leading satellite operator with
unrivalled expertise in global video distribution, to launch our new
Nature Relaxation Ultra HD channel in North America. Relying on SES,
we're well positioned to reach the biggest audiences across the region
and eventually the world."
"Consumers across North America are buying Ultra HD TVs at such a pace
that more than half of the homes in the region are expected to have at
least one 4K TV by 2020. Now they want to see a full lineup of Ultra HD
programming on their screens as soon as possible," noted Steve Corda,
Vice President of Business Development for SES in North America. "Nature
Relaxation Ultra HD TV is the latest channel to join SES's fast-growing,
premier Ultra HD distribution neighbourhood."
"Nature Relaxation Ultra HD is a great addition to SES's tremendous
Ultra HD line-up, offering a welcomed break from a fast-paced world with
some of the finest, breathtaking views of nature at its very best," said
Stuart Smitherman, President of Vivicast Media. "Together, SES and
Vivicast are enabling audiences across North America and around the
