("ZOO", the "Group" or the "Company")
ZOO Digital launches mastering services division
ZOO Digital Group plc (AIM: ZOO), the leading provider of
end-to-end cloud-based localisation and media services to the
global entertainment industry, announces the launch of its
mastering services division to support leading content creators to
deliver for next day air on major streaming services and
platforms.
The mastering services division provides an additional revenue
source for the Company and further enhances ZOO's position as a
provider of end -to-end localisation and media services to the
global media and entertainment industry. Mastering is the process
of finishing or finalising a programme after post-production to
synchronise the video and audio tracks, conform to technical
requirements of the target platforms, and perform compression and
encoding of the audio-visual materials. ZOO will provide mastering
for both UHD and HD content, including next day air servicing for
content on major streaming platforms. The service will be led out
of ZOO's Los Angeles facility, which benefits from the latest
hardware and software for mastering, QC and packaging.
The new division will be led by ex-Fox Filmed Entertainment,
Melissa McAllister, who has joined the Company as Director of TV
Mastering and Servicing. With 18 years of experience in the media
and entertainment industry, including as Supervisor of Scheduling
and Servicing for Media Services at Fox Filmed Entertainment,
McAllister specialises in managing projects to deliver the highest
levels of quality, while adhering to some of the tightest
turnaround times demanded in the entertainment industry. As
Director of TV Mastering & Servicing, McAllister leads a highly
experienced team of mastering project managers, encoders, editors
and QC technicians, all working to deliver high-quality masters for
the world's biggest content creators.
Stuart Green, CEO of ZOO Digital, said:
"The launch of a dedicated mastering service is the natural
progression in our end-to-end client offering and positions ZOO to
benefit from a potentially significant future revenue stream. The
biggest names in entertainment are dealing with more languages,
more platforms, and more audiences, so having a vendor that can
offer both multi-language localisation and media services means
greater efficiency, fewer delays, and simplifies the challenge of
taking a project from post-production to platform."
Melissa McAllister, Director of TV Mastering and Servicing,
commented:
"The biggest factors in delivering mastering services in the
entertainment industry are exactly the traits that ZOO has made its
name for. By always looking ahead at how best to tackle industry
challenges, this has enabled us to hit the ground running with the
new service line. ZOO is a proven safe pair of hands for the
biggest names in the industry and we already have the knowledge and
experience within the team to deliver high-quality mastering
projects."
