The TDF Group created its media services division through a combination of acquisitions and organic growth. Now, TDF Media Services regroups Arkena and BeBanjo.
Cognacq-Jay Image was located in Cognacq-Jay street in Paris, in the building that is considered as the cradle of French television.[3][better source needed] Since 1996, the year it was created by TDF, Cognacq-Jay Image has been offering broadcasting services to major French TV channels. It also provides headend services and media preparation for Catchup TV and VOD platforms.
PSN was established in Poland by TDF in 1994, initially as a terrestrial broadcast network operator for the Polish public and commercial radio channels. PSN also offers multimedia services based on the group solutions like OVP or CDN, ensuring additional shooting and postproduction services.

It developed its own OVP platform, a SaaS solution for managing and delivering video content with features such as analytics, monetization and transcoding. Along with its CDN services, Qbrick is serving more than 700 media, telecom and corporate customers. It was acquired by TDF in October 2011.[4]
SmartJog has been offering global exchange and cloud storage services for digital media assets since 2002.
