MUMBAI: GlobeCast, a major content management and delivery specialist, will be demonstrating its media sharing platforms and highlighting its top HD platforms as well as upcoming coverage of sporting events at CommunicAsia 2009.

The France Telecom company leverages the strength of its local expertise in Asia to provide broadcasters and content providers with global solutions that differ from media management and play-out to full-fledged delivery via its global satellite and fibre network.

For its media sharing platform demo, GlobeCast will partner with recently acquired subsidiary NETIA to show an example of a digital channel workflow using systems such as GlobeCast's Content Exchange and Netia's Hypercast Warehouse that provide a secure network for file sharing and exchange as well as intelligent indexing and archiving of content.

Customers will experience some of these services firsthand from the perspective of both the producer and broadcaster, from selection, sharing and indexing content, all the way through to simulated playout and delivery.

GlobeCast will also showcase international content for distribution to IPTV platforms and hotel networks worldwide as well as WebTV solutions.

2010 will be a blockbuster year for sport for GlobeCast which is the broadcast partner and service provider for major events such as the IPL Twenty20 and the Olympics.

GlobeCast's sports contribution team will be on hand to discuss upcoming sporting events such as the FIFA World Cup in South Africa, XXI Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Asian Games and Commonwealth Games.
