It is quite a long list now, including Al Jazeera, Amazon Prime, BBC Studioworks, BETV, IMG, Input Media, ITN, One Ten Productions, QVC, Racing UK, Solenis, STV, STV North and Timeline Televsion. We have also seen substantial demand from system integrators such as CJP Broadcast, Dega and Gravity Media."
