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
line-up 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 world to enjoy the finest 4K
programming available today.”
