NEW YORK — July 2012 — At IBC2012 on stand 1.A29, GlobeCast will demonstrate solutions that allow broadcasters to "take content further." Through the company's strong global presence and technological expertise, GlobeCast empowers content providers to generate additional revenue and remain competitive across screens, devices, and delivery platforms. The company will be exhibiting alongside its sister company NETIA.
At IBC2012, GlobeCast will be demonstrating the company's proven solutions across three main areas:
• Content Management and Delivery
A solutions provider for content management and delivery, GlobeCast will be showcasing scalable playout and origination solutions that allow broadcasters to adapt content to local markets anywhere in the world and simplify the overall content distribution process. NETIA and GlobeCast will also be showing Media Asset Management (MAM) software and services to help broadcasters and content creators manage and optimize their workflows.
In terms of new delivery platforms, GlobeCast will be offering presentations focusing on its OTT offerings. This includes a demonstration of business-to-business solutions to allow for the development of OTT offers, as well as a commercial business-to-consumer product, MyGlobeTV (www.myglobetv.com), launched recently in the Americas. Finally, GlobeCast will be presenting its collaborative project with France 24 on hybrid broadcast broadband TV (HbbTV). HbbTV gives DTH viewers the same two-way interactive experience that IPTV subscribers already enjoy.
• Global Satellite and Fiber Network
In addition to taking content further technologically, GlobeCast takes content physically further — thanks to the company's diverse capacity on satellites covering all five continents and 92,000 km of fiber spanning the globe. Hybrid solutions using both satellite and fiber ensure that broadcasters get the most adapted and cost-effective solution possible. Visitors will be able to view an HD video on the stand that discusses GlobeCast's worldwide satellite and fiber delivery services in more detail.
• Content Aggregation and Distribution
GlobeCast now offers solutions for the aggregation and distribution of content. With a specialty in international content, GlobeCast has long and established relationships with hundreds of international channels as well with cable, telecom, and IPTV bouquet operators. GlobeCast leverages these relationships, in addition to the market knowledge it has gained, in each of the17 countries around the world where GlobeCast is present.
