[Via Satellite 10-27-2016] A new 4K channel, Nature Relaxation, has launched aboard SES’ Ultra-HD distribution neighborhood hosted by a trio of satellites, SES 1, SES 3 and AMC 18, at the center of the North American orbital arc. As part of the agreement, Vivicast Media provides multi-platform licensing of Nature Relaxation programming throughout North America. The Nature Relaxation Ultra-HD channel feed originates from SES’ Woodbine, Maryland mediaport, where it is prepared and uplinked to the SES 1 satellite and distributed to cable and broadcast distribution points throughout the U.S. and the North American region.

The channel, a result of a partnership between NatureVision TV and nature cinematographer David Huting, features more than 800 hours of calming nature scenes, matched with soothing music designed to help viewers de-stress, relax, study or sleep. The new UHD channel captures everything from majestic mountain ranges and waterfalls to incredible canyons, enchanted forests, brewing storms, wonderful wildlife and mesmerizing sunsets around the world in 4K.

This is the latest in 4K content that SES has delivered via its trio of satellites, with previous content including Mance Media’s 4KUniverse, INsight TV Ultra-HD, among others.
