Internet Initiative Japan (IIJ) supports the Digital Concert Hall, a video distribution service of the Berliner Philharmoniker Orchestra which is operated by Berlin Phil Media GmbH.

The Berliner Philharmoniker Orchestra started the first Digital Concert Hall high definition distribution service in 2009 for classical music and other performances with a view to delivering performances of the orchestra to audiences around the world. The portal provides (for a fee) nearly 50 regular performances per year both live and on-demand.
IIJ has signed a sponsorship agreement to become a streaming partner with Berlin Phil Media to create the distribution service of the future, which combines high resolution images with high-quality audio. At the same time, IIJ will take on the challenge of developing new technologies.

We believe that it is important to maintain high-quality video and audio distribution and to pursue further innovations in these technologies.
