Case Study: British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) achieves faster content availability and improved UHD/HDR quality with Bitmovin Encoder

British Broadcasting Corporation - Customer Case Study

The BBC, the world’s largest and oldest national broadcaster, needed to speed up content preparation and maximise quality for selected live and ultra‑high‑definition (UHD) content delivered via Catch Up TV and VOD, and to make flagship shows available quickly on satellite provider set‑top boxes (STBs).

Using the Bitmovin Encoder, the BBC accelerated turnaround for live shows to satellite STBs and supported UHD/HDR trials—enabling content like Dynasties to be distributed promptly and at high quality across hundreds of Smart TVs and cable STBs—resulting in faster availability and improved viewing quality for on‑demand audiences.
