BUSINESS & INDUSTRY Time to hear the latest partnerships, mergers and business acquisitions shaking up the industry right now – from a European expansion to the growth of APAC
DYN MEDIA SHOWS FRUITS OF ITS LABOUR Dyn Media has selected Spicy Mango Gameday, a live sports data management system, for its upcoming sports OTT platform, which is set to launch in summer 2023. This platform will act primarily as a streaming service for certain German sports, for example handball, table tennis, basketball and volleyball. Fans will be able to watch live events and season highlights, with recommendations and personalisations made possible by Gameday’s advanced analytics. By employing Gameday, Dyn Media can deliver search capabilities, images, artwork and even more without spending hours on complex engineering.
BOLT FROM THE BLU
Blu Digital Group has expanded its reach with the recent acquisition of the Denmark-based Dicentia Studios. The company, specialising in audio-visual services such as distribution, localisation and post-production, focuses largely on media management within the European market. Impressively, Dicentia is both an iTunes Preferred Encoding House and a Netflix Preferred Fulfilment Partner – and a vital addition to Blu Digital Group’s portfolio. This acquisition marks Blu Digital Group’s third last year, after Central Post LA – a recording and dubbing studio – and Haymillian. All three additions have grown the company’s presence both globally and locally – across Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and at home in Hollywood.
ENHANCED EXPERIENCE
In case you missed it: iWedia and Simply.TV announced a strategic partnership at this year’s CES. With the shared goal of enhancing the Live TV experience, the companies plan to boost user engagement while offering
new opportunities to OEMs by enabling new revenue streams. Simply.TV’s metadata collection and iWedia’s software solutions will enable advanced content discovery, ultimately adding value to Live TV and its manufacturers.

Cinegy has expanded into the Slovenian market with local partner Pulzar Media. The country – dominated by cable television – requires playout and asset management servers for each of its local operators. Cinegy, and specifically the Cinegy Air Pro platform, can provide cost-effective content management systems to Pulzar Media, adding value and versatility to its offerings. Together, they can ensure smooth, reliable operation from the ground up.
