re:fine’s mission is to be the content processing and digital media logistics partner of choice for the world’s top content owners and distributors.

ALL3MEDIA International is one of the UK’s top independent television programming distributors, offering quality content to broadcasters and media platforms around the world. Its catalogue of 5,500-plus active titles includes such UK favourites as Midsomer Murders, Hollyoaks, The Only Way Is Essex, Skins, Shameless, Embarrassing bodies and Undercover Boss.

re:fine and ALL3MEDIA have been working in partnership since 2009. Each year, we deliver thousands of hours of content to broadcasters and VOD platforms.

In 2012, ALL3MEDIA launched the ‘Best of British’ app in the US. Prior to launch re:fine, encoded, meta-tagged, tested and delivered over 250 hours of content to the app.

All3MEDIA says: “Our primary business will continue to be licensing our programmes to international broadcasters and video-on-demand partners such as Netflix, Hulu and LoveFilm. It will allow us to experiment with different payment models, to continue to get closer to our viewers and to experiment with offering our content in a range of territories.”

US-based T3 Media is fed with news, sports, nature and creative footage by several leading media libraries, including BBC Motion Gallery.

We designed and implemented an automated workflow to capture content in the UK and deliver to T3 in the US a cloud-based stock footage library. Master and viewing files are created at re:fine, quality controlled and sent through our delivery network 24 hours a day, with little human intervention.

Curzon on Demand — a ‘curated cinema experience’ offering the very best in independent cinema — is available to viewers in the UK and Ireland on a pay-per-view basis.

re:fine encodes, quality controls and delivers HD films for Curzon on Demand. Our involvement with the platform began almost a year prior to its launch. Having identified and evaluated hosting and streaming partners, we then defined and implemented workflows and technical delivery specifications for delivering the films. This ensures that the films are streamed at the best possible quality to create the ‘cinema at home’ experience that is the essence of the service.

To date, we have delivered hundreds of titles to the platform, which is now also compatible with mobile, iPads and Samsung Smart TVs.

“The unique thing about Curzon On Demand is that you can watch some new cinema releases at home on the same day as their cinema release,” says CEO Philip Knatchbull.

United International Pictures (UIP) is one of the world’s leading film distribution companies, jointly owned by Paramount and Universal.

re:fine has a long-standing relationship with UIP’s non-theatrical division, which licenses Universal and Paramount titles for in-room entertainment to hotel guests and hospital patients. The non-theatrical team also licenses titles for group screenings on video or DVD to film clubs, schools, universities, tour operators, coaches and other institutions, generally within three months of their cinema release.

UIP’s non-theatrical rights cover the world, excluding North America. re:fine receives the content digitally and repurposes it not only into multiple file formats, but also into over 30 different language combinations, both subtitled and dubbed.

UIP’s licenses are global. Using the high-speed file transfer software Aspera, we guarantee secure, on-time deliveries of over 100 versions of each film to UIP’s clients.
