Beam

Beam is a robust and flexible management tool that allows brands to control and maximize the value of their content. Initially established as a project management tool, today Beam stores, adapts and sends in excess of 2,500,000 assets (CG models, HD sequences, flash files and any format in between) for the world's largest brands and agencies to hundreds of television broadcasters worldwide.

Beam has also developed an intuitive and simple retail IPTV facility, which allows a New York user to create their own 'in-store' TV channels controlled directly from their desktop.

Distribution

Beam delivers content via a fast, secure, global network which gives you complete control. Whatever a broadcaster's requirements, whether terrestrial or online, we can deliver your content to any location, in any format within the time permitted.

From the asset library, your content can be delivered to any screen anywhere in the world and you can re-use it across multiple markets, time and time again. We are a global network that allows you the freedom to play, adapt and download your content for any broadcaster or client.

Digital Asset Management

We can store and manage any asset for you, from a global brand archive, specific project with multiple versions or elements, or a hosting catalogue of your work to date. Your system will be seamlessly integrated into your existing workflow, allowing you to manage your archive your way.

Whatever the level of brand visibility you need, we can customize our system to fit. We recognise the value of your content so provide you with the highest level of security with all assets stored in a secure data-centre.

Hard-of-Hearing Subtitles/Teletext

In the UK, one in six people use subtitles to aid their viewing, which equates to 10.89million people. In order to reach such a large consumer group and to adhere to IPA policy, it is vital that commercials and idents be subtitled. The Mill, through its market-leading subtitling division Adtext, can create high-quality hard-of-hearing subtitles in record time. With full digital integration with all the leading distribution companies, Adtext subtitles eight out of ten commercials that require subtitling for broadcast: approximately 5,000 commercials a year.
