Central London MCR and playout center being completely refurbished.
Content management and delivery company GlobeCast is updating and enlarging its playout center and MCR in London to increase the capacity of services offered and to provide multi-platform solutions on a worldwide scale.
GlobeCast launched its existing playout system in the summer of 2007. The response from the companys broadcast customers was overwhelmingly positive, increasing demand and leading to this significant investment which will see its London infrastructure double in capacity.
The new multimedia center will be IPTV and Mobile TV capable, and will provide improvements in graphics and flexibility. GlobeCast can offer clients customized packages which will allow them to combine tapeless digital technology with more traditional formats.
The state-of-the-art system will be completed by June, when existing customers such as Arsenal TV and the Poker Channel will be upgraded.
In addition, the upgraded Media Management suite will create an improved, dedicated, purpose-built space to streamline workflows, which allows additional channels to be added more easily and quickly.
This upgrade, together with its growing experience and reputation in this field, demonstrates GlobeCasts commitment to playout services, providing international customers with turnkey packages from traditional linear playout to new multimedia
services, web, IPTV and transcoding.
GlobeCasts office in the heart of London is one of 18 international locations providing worldwide delivery of permanent channels, coverage of news and sporting events and a range of value-added services.
GlobeCast also offers Media Management solutions from its facility in Sunrise, Florida which it shares with HBO Latin America.
