| MUMBAI:
GlobeCast has joined forces with NETIA once again to showcase the group’s
integrated solutions across the whole broadcast chain with a shared stand (SU3502)
at this year’s television trade event NAB next month in Las Vegas. The
France Telecom/Orange company, which has recently expanded its worldwide fiber
network into Latin America, will be highlighting its latest solutions, including
3D delivery for rights and non-rightsholders at 2010 sporting and special events,
as well as the aggregation and delivery of international content. GlobeCast will
also be introducing its newly launched global media management team to broadcasters
at the show.
New
fiber links to Latin America: GlobeCast has expanded its next-generation global
fiber ring to Latin America with direct access to Sao Paulo, Brazil and Buenos
Aires, Argentina. Blue chip broadcasters and smaller channels alike will now be
able to receive the cost effective solution using both fiber and satellite. The
ability to regionalise their feeds and bring content to and from Latin America
to the rest of the world is a welcome option in an area where satellite-only distribution
can be cost-prohibitive. GlobeCast
launches Media Management teams worldwide: GlobeCast has recently launched
Media Management teams worldwide to leverage its existing business of content
distribution as well as its recent acquisition of Media Asset Management (MAM)
specialist NETIA, to provide broadcasters and content creators with full solutions
for the management and delivery of their content. GlobeCast’s Content Exchange,
NETIA’s Manreo range as well as GlobeCast’s playout and delivery services
will be in the spotlight. WorldTV
brings international content to Las Vegas hotels : WorldTV, a subsidiary of
GlobeCast, which aggregates and delivers international content to major providers
such as Verizon FiOS and AT&T U-Verse, has also been working with Cox Hospitality
group to deliver international content to hotels in Las Vegas. The City Center’s
Mandarin Oriental, Aria and Vidara, as well as the Bellagio and Wynn hotels are
the first to offer this content, making international guests feel completely at
home right on the strip. Broadcasters and bouquet operators come to WorldTV to
be a part of this growing niche market. 2010
events delivered live in 3D : GlobeCast’s contribution team will also
be on hand to discuss its recent success with the live 3D delivery of a number
of international events. Over the past year, GlobeCast has delivered the world’s
first live 3D fashion show from Burberry’s catwalk at London Fashion Week
to parties in Paris, New York, Dubai and Tokyo as well as the final of the French
Tennis Open (Roland Garros) and an opera production of Don Giovanni to cinemas
across France and Spain. Also
in the spotlight will be upcoming sporting events, such as the South African World
Cup, Asian Games and Commonwealth Games, all taking place around the world in
2010. Services are planned for both rightsholders and non-rightsholders to bring
these special events from the stadiums to the rest of the world. |
