History
is being created in the local cable market with the introduction of 3DTV
channels by Columbus Communications Jamaica Limited, operator of the Flow and
Columbus Business Solutions brands. The company announces the addition of two
3D TV channels to the lineup on their digital cable television service,
becoming the only provider in Jamaica to offer this revolutionary technology.
12 new
High Definition (HD) channels to Flow’s channel lineup bringing the total number
to 35, the largest number of HD channels available from any provider in
Jamaica. The range of HD channels covers all popular genres of television
programming including children’s, lifestyle, sports, news, and entertainment.
“It is very important to us to ensure that
we always provide our customers with leading communications technologies and
services. Our introduction of 3D TV and the expansion of the HD channel
portfolio at this time is part of our overall plan to relentlessly deploy the
most innovative services so that our customers can experience and enjoy more,”
said Denise Williams, director of government and corporate affairs. “Flow has deployed the most technologically advanced network
in the country and we are committed to keeping Jamaica at the forefront in
terms of innovative and leading edge products and services.”
High-definition
(HD) television refers to video resolution significantly higher than
traditional television systems, as much as five times richer than that of
Standard Definition (SD) television. A revolution in
viewer experience, 3DTV enables viewers to perceive depth, height and width of
motion for objects on a screen. 3D uses optical illusions to mimic reality,
making the content on screen look real. Flow’s introduction of 3D TV means that
Jamaicans can now enjoy this experience in the comfort of their homes rather
than only on an outing to the cinema.
3D TV’s are now available
on the local market. Columbus has partnered with Jamaica’s leading electronics
retailer Courts, to offer consumers greater value on the electronics purchases.
With the purchase of any television set at Courts, consumers who sign up for
Flow’s cable TV service will receive one month free cable, free installation
and a 30% discount on an HD box.
Since launching
service in Jamaica 6 years ago, Columbus has consistently provided consumers
with cutting edge technology that has transformed their cable television
viewing experiences. In addition to offering the a fully digital cable service
with the most channels available (over 280), innovations from the company
include an interactive programming guide with parental controls, Flow On
Demand, Bill View on Flow channel 800, Caller ID on TV, and mosaic channels for
sports, news and movies.
