Globecast announces Globecast Live for capture and publishing of live content

Globecast has announced the launch of Globecast Live, a new service designed to allow broadcast and B2B customers to bring any event to any screen through a fully integrated contribution and Digital Media Hub (DMH) content processing workflow.

Combining its years of live content acquisition expertise with its DMH cross-platform suite of content publishing services, Globecast has created a turnkey live content solution. Globecast Live works for both the broadcast and B2B communication markets, allowing the capture and publishing of live content suitable for intranets, extranets, social media, short and long form VoD, linear broadcast and OTT services in all their forms. Content can also be stored and made available for later use via Content Marketplace, which is part of DMH.

Liz McParland, commercial director for contribution and global coordination, Globecast, said: “We have taken more than 20 years’ experience in the live content acquisition market, working across sport, news and special events, to create a turnkey suite of live content gathering services that can be used in conjunction with Digital Media Hub. This means we can offer end-to-end live video solutions for any and every occasion, tailored to each customer’s requirements and available from a single supplier.”

Globecast Live handles any video format. Two-way communication with those in the field (live video and intercom) is also available, as well as file transfer.

Globecast offers a range of cost effective contribution solutions that can be quickly and easily deployed. From the innovative M’ICar (small vehicle) offering a hybrid of cellular bonding and Ka-band satellite connectivity through to a complete range of fibre and/or satellite connectivity solutions that can be tailored to any event.
