4KUNIVERSE, a 24/7 4K/UltraHD entertainment channel, has tapped Accedo to create and power its 4K subscription video on demand (SVOD) service for Amazon Fire TV.

4KUNIVERSE is available across linear, cable and satellite TV and over-the-top (OTT) devices, offering around-the-clock UltraHD TV series, movies, documentaries and sports.

"Keeping up with the demands of our expanding OTT community is key to us at 4KUNIVERSE," said Matthew Mancinelli, CEO, 4KUNIVERSE. "The scalability of Accedo's cost-effective Videa solution offers flexibility as we grow our subscriber base and ensures a consistent, 4K/UltraHD video experience at all times. We're excited to deliver 4KUNIVERSE to 4K TV owners nationwide via Amazon Fire TV."

4KUNIVERSE is using Accedo's Videa publishing platform to build and manage customized video applications without the need for additional design or development. Content can be dynamically managed across devices from one interface. With Videa, 4KUNIVERSE can quickly deliver content and user interface (UI) changes to every supported device, with no need to rewrite code.

The 4KUNIVERSE channel on Amazon's Fire TV is expected to be live by May.
