SPI International / FILMBOX Channels Group boosts UHD library with new music and time-lapse content

Global TV operator and 4K content aggregator SPI International / FILMBOX Channels Group has recently expanded its Ultra HD offering with new acquisitions from Paramax Films and Principal Media. 

SPI has acquired rights from Paramax to three 4K recordings of live concerts performed at the prestigious Singapore Jazz Festival. One of the concerts features multi-instrumentalist, producer and singer, Taylor McFerrin - the eldest son of famous jazz singer Bobby McFerrin. The other two present performances by a Toronto-based jazz, hiphop trio BadBadNotGood and Seun Kuti, whose father Fela was the founder and undisputed king of Afrobeat.
 
SPI also signed an agreement with Principal Media acquiring worldwide rights to 4K videos shot by the time-lapse guru Randy Halverson. Shot over an eight-month period, the videos give a mind-boggling look at the night sky in South Dakota, Wyoming, and Utah. Photographer Randy Halverson captures the rural heartland of the American Mid-West against the backdrop of the Milky Way.
 

SPI International / FILMBOX Channels Group has been committed to expanding its library of Ultra HD content in order to boost programming of the Group’s FUNBOX UHD linear channel which is broadcast in Ultra HD quality as well as a stand-alone streaming app which gives users access to a variety of native UHD content on UHD streaming devices such as Amazon Fire TV.
