MUMBAI: GlobeCast has signed an agreement with Measat Satellite Systems to distribute the AXN HD channel in the Asia-Pacific region. Under the agreeement, the channel will first roll out in the Korean market.

GlobeCast will deliver the signals of AXN HD channel from SPENA’s facilities in Singapore directly to GlobeCast’s Parkview Square facility.

GlobeCast will then deliver the signal through its RIBU fibre network to GlobeCast’s Hong Kong teleport for uplink to Measat-3’s platform and transmission to the Korean audience, initially via MPEG-4/DVB-S and subsequently moving to MPEG-4/DVB-S2.

 

In late 2008, AXN HD was launched in Spain. The channel's programming is made of action TV series, movies, adventure, reality and lifestyle sports content.

 
In addition to AXN HD, GlobeCast has also inked distribution deals with Measat for other HD channels like The History Channel HD and National Geographic Channel HD.
