GlobeCast, will be demonstrating the latest trends in international broadcast at NAB 2008. Media Management, multiplatform solutions, HD, IPTV, Mobile TV and more will all be in the spotlight.

GlobeCast Media Management

Broadcasters are becoming increasingly focused on content creation and looking to outsource their content management. In response, GlobeCast has added media management to its service offering and Arsenal TV in the UK and Ion Media Networks in the US are just the latest broadcasters to sign up. Operated from technical operations centers in central London and Sunrise, Florida, GlobeCast Media Management offers full playout, disaster recovery, program substitution and more, under one roof.

Mobile TV

With standards developing for the next generation of mobile television, GlobeCast has been building partnerships for DVB-H experimentation. In Europe, the company already operates a 3G headend and delivers more than 100 live channels to Orange. In the U.S. GlobeCast delivers, encodes and monitors 30 channels for market leader MobiTV.

IPTV

2008 is the year of IPTV in the U.S. and GlobeCast will be highlighting its role in the development of this emerging medium with a live demonstration at NAB. GlobeCast subsidiary WorldTV recently launched an IPTV platform in Canada with NeuLion to bring multicultural content to new markets, and is also aggregating multinational content for a major U.S. telecom company. GlobeCast has gained its extensive knowledge and experience with IPTV in Europe as Orange’s broadcast partner for Orange TV which has over 1 million subscribers.
