NHK Japan

One of the most diverse HD collections in the world. NHK is Japan's famed public broadcaster, reaching almost every household in the country. With 96% of NHK's general TV broadcast in HD, the scope and quality of the material is breathtaking. From Japanese macaques in hot springs and the temples of Kyoto to sweeping shots of earthquake-shattered buildings; from noisy factories of the present day to the tranquility of time-honoured ceremonies.

Life in the Blue in HD

A remarkable array of underwater species in their most natural habitat. Filmed with the striking visual artistry of a feature film or advert, with perfect composition and lighting, all while keeping the animals unaware of the camera's presence. Shot in pristine, detail-rich high definition 1080i, the footage spans the globe, from the frigid waters of Norway to tropical ocean seas.

Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC)

As Australia's only national non-commercial broadcaster, ABC has been an integral part of the Australian way of life for over 70 years. The collection, Australia's largest film archive, reflects the nation's cultural heritage with hand-picked footage covering wildlife, lifestyle, key personalities and the arts plus ground-breaking news coverage.
