AmberFin announces new French reseller

AmberFin has engaged the services of Magic Hour, a long-established distributor and systems integrator of broadcast technology solutions in France. Headquartered just outside Paris in Meudon la Forêt, Magic Hour resells high-end software and hardware solutions for the production, postproduction and broadcast industries, including products from leading vendors such as Black Magic Design, ChyronHego, and Grass Valley.

As an AmberFin reseller, Magic Hour will be responsible for the sale and support of AmberFin’s iCR (intelligent Content Re-Purposing) file-based content ingest and transcoding platform, as well as UQC, a vendor agnostic QC solution that enables broadcasters and facilities to harness the broadest range of media QC software systems and create a quality control workflow uniquely adapted to their production needs.

“Magic Hour has an extensive knowledge of the French broadcast industry and excellent understanding of file-based workflows. We looking forward to our cooperation in growing and supporting our French customer base,” says Jeremy Deaner, AmberFin’s CEO.

“AmberFin’s reputation for ingest, transcoding and quality control is second to none in the industry. The addition of iCR and UQC to our product portfolio ideally complements our offering and helps us better serve the needs of our customers in France,” comments Ralph Chaloub, MagicHour’s founder and CEO.
