Hustler putting out in HiDef/3D

Hustler is pumping out a new HiDef and 3D adult entertainment channel next month called Hustler HD/3D.

European adult entertainment content distributor Sapphire Media International today announced the launch of the new Hustler HiDef adult channel, which will also support and deliver 3D content.

The partnership confirms Sapphire Media’s commitment to HiDef and 3D formats for its rapidly expanding VOD service.

Hustler HD/3D will launch in March on the Hotbird satellite with a wide range of HiDef content, including the best-selling material from Hustler’s varied library. The channel will also have access to some high profile 3D productions such as the award winning parody “This Ain’t Avatar XXX” and Hustler’s soon-to-be released “This Ain’t Ghostbusters XXX 3D” along with Sapphire’s own in-house 3D product. The company will be working with distributors to showcase 3D content as the 3D TV market grows.

“We have had a lot of success with our existing HD and 3D offerings on our VOD service and now feel the time is right for us to launch a similar linear channel,” said Stephanie Murdoch-Meyer, Head of Sales and Distribution at Sapphire.

“With the huge slate of true HD productions that we currently have, and continue to produce monthly, along with our production of high budget true 3D features, the Hustler HD/3D channel will best the best of the breed of adult broadcasting offerings,” said Michael H. Klein, President of Hustler. “Top stars and top directors, including the HD movies from the other top adult studios that we have the exclusive broadcast rights to, are sure to lead to high buy rates.”

Digiquest Electronics Limited will be handling the exclusive Smartcard distribution of the channel across Europe.

The ten-year-old Sapphire Media International BV, headquartered in Amsterdam, with offices in London and Luxembourg, distributes 14 adult TV channels to more than 700 cable, satellite and Telco operators across Europe, the Middle East and Russia including Blue Hustler, Hustler TV, Girls Gone Wild, 100% Babes and Nitegate. The company also provides tailor made adult VOD, IPTV and mobile services to multimedia distribution platforms in over 25 territories.
