Red Bee Media and Dotscreen were instrumental in the launch of TV5MONDEplus, the new global video-on-demand platform with free French speaking series, films and documentaries in full HD quality, subtitled in 5 languages. It is built on Red Bee’s OTT-platform, with secure and reliable broadcast-grade streaming, advertising options and advanced Digital Rights Management (DRM) tools, all of which was essential for this global launch. Dotscreen designed user-friendly interfaces for browsers and native apps for iOS and Android. TV5MONDEplus launched globally on September 9th, 2020, in 194 countries.
TV5MONDEplus uses Red Bee’s end-to-end OTT solution to manage, secure and deliver high quality French speaking content to users world-wide in 8 different regions, with localized content and ad insertion. The content includes classic and modern film, TV-shows and series as well as documentaries and content for children, all delivered in French with subtitles in 5 languages.
The end-user applications were built by Dotscreen using Red Bee’s standard Software Development Kit (SDK), which allows for seamless connections with Red Bee’s services for content display, playback, entitlement, analytics, security and streaming.
TV5MONDEplus was created with the support of the governments of the five countries that initiated TV5MONDE (France, Canada, Switzerland, Wallonia-Brussels and Quebec). Its mission is to promote French-speaking content and to promote the programs of its partner channels, TV5MONDE’s own productions, as well as co-productions and programs acquired all over the world. TV5MONDEplus is currently streaming French-speaking series, films, documentaries and children’s content in 194 countries around the world.
