LONDON (Alliance News) - Zoo Digital Group PLC said Wednesday it expects to post revenue for its financial year to end March ahead of the previous year and announced it has won a contract with BBC Worldwide Ltd.
Zoo Digital provides cloud-based media production and software services. Under the BBC contract, it will provide a new subtitling and captioning system for BBC Worldwide using its ZOOsubs and ZOOcore software.
All subtitles and captions shown on the BBC's four UK terrestrial channels will be added to the system shortly after broadcast; the system will automatically localise US English, Australian and New Zealand English versions, making files available to download in all formats. BBC Worldwide plans to deploy the system more widely over time, Zoo Digital said.
Financial details of the contract were not disclosed.
Zoo said its second-half revenue will be lower than the first due to a combination of seasonality of projects in the entertainment industry, and disruptions within a major customer. However, it cited the contract win with BBC Worldwide as evidence of strengthening demand for its software and services.
