Globecast provides content acquisition, management and distribution services globally. Globecast has created a global hybrid fibre and satellite network for video contribution and distribution. This network enables multi-platform delivery including TV Everywhere OTT, satellite, cable, video on demand, CDN delivery as well as cloud-enabled media services.
New at IBC 2016
At IBC, taking place in Amsterdam between 8 and 12 September, Globecast is pioneering a new remote production service, turning the concept of traditional supply of a ready-to-broadcast feed from venues on its head. Content owners will now be able to select from multiple source-feeds at their own global locations, including Johannesburg, allowing them to create bespoke programming on their own production systems, and prepare their “ready to broadcast’ feeds.
Globecast is now putting in place the technology to provide efficient access to source-feeds, directly from cameras and elsewhere, to international broadcasters at key Globecast Media Centre handover points, with delivery in secure IP format.
Video headend
Television, or more generally video content, is a key enabler for telcos to reduce churn and attract new customers. But, satisfying consumer appetite for content choice and their expectations of a high quality, uninterrupted service can be challenging and costly. This often requires significant upfront investment, and operational skills can be hard to find.
Globecast has developed a cost-effective multi-tenant video headend solution to allow any telco, anywhere in the world, to deliver a video service to their subscribers. The solution reduces upfront investments, speeds time to market and maximises quality through provision as a supported, fully managed service.
