NanoTech Entertainment (OTCPINK: NTEK), a pioneer in bringing the 4K Ultra HD experience to consumers, announced that 4K Studios, a NanoTech subsidiary, has entered into a global distribution agreement with Red Bull Media House. An independent global media company, Red Bull Media House delivers cutting-edge production quality and inspiring, real-life stories of most diverse people from the areas of sports, music and lifestyle that captivate viewers worldwide. Under the agreement, UltraFlix, NanoTech's all 4K IPTV and Over-the-Top (OTT) Ultra HD streaming video service, will offer twelve of the 4K sports and lifestyle films that are among the latest Red Bull Media House catalog offerings.

With the agreement, UltraFlix subscribers can enjoy the thrill of riding along with daredevil dirt riders in Red Bull Dreamline, the amazing acrobatics of the world's best free-runners e.g. in Red Bull X-Run and the jaw-dropping control of the top freestyle footballers on the planet in Red Bull Streetstyle, to name a few. All produced in native 4K, the Red Bull Media House films bring audiences close to the action and behind the scenes with the highest-quality production values and cinematography available.

"We are committed to making UltraFlix the digital go-to sports channel and Red Bull Media House is one of the leading sports movie producers in the world, so licensing their content was a priority for us", said Aaron Taylor, NanoTech's Executive Vice President of Sales & Marketing.

NanoTech's UltraFlix streaming service can be used to deliver 4K Ultra HD content on a variety of TVs and devices, including NanoTech's award-winning Nuvola NP-1 consumer 4K streaming media player. The Nuvola NP-1, which comes with UltraFlix and several video, gaming and social media applications pre-installed, is a multifunction device that can stream videos in HD, SD and 3D formats as well as 4K Ultra HD. Since the NP-1 is Android based, users have fast, easy website access and can also access to thousands of video games and applications from nVida Tegra Zone and the Google Play Store.

NanoTech also offers a commercial 4K Ultra HD video service, ProFlix UHD that can be bundled and pre-loaded on NanoTech's NP-C commercial 4K streaming media players for 4K Ultra HD demonstrations for retail outlets and at trade shows.
