MUMBAI: Content management and delivery company GlobeCast has upgraded its High Definition (HD) infrastructure and formed strategic alliances in the Americas to meet the growing demand for the distribution and contribution of HD content between US and the rest of the world.

 

A company release claims that GlobeCast has completed the next phase of its American HD strategy with the installation of new encoding and converting equipment at its broadcast center in California, US. This latest upgrade will mean that all GlobeCast’s facilities in the US will be fully HD capable.

GlobeCast can now receive and process HD signals into any international format. It can also down convert to standard definition (SD) and deliver the signal worldwide using a combination of MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 HD/SD compression.

 
In addition to providing MPEG-4 compression for a more streamlined bandwidth use, GlobeCast also offers advanced modulation standards such as DVB-S2 to maximize capacity.

At present, GlobeCast’s HD clients in US include World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and Point 360.
