GlobeCast will also be working closely with four additional official Olympic broadcasting rights holders, ATV and TVB in Hong Kong and Japanese channels, TV Asahi and Fuji TV, to provide specifically tailored packages including satellite transmissions and SNG services, for the duration of the Games.
It is also offering extensive facilities for non-rights holding broadcasters, through its Broadcast Base formed in association with UK firm Gearhouse Broadcast and Athens-based Stefi Productions. It offers non-rights holders a one-stop-shop for all of their production and broadcast requirements, including studios, work space, broadcast equipment, worldwide satellite transmissions, uplinking facilities, playout, conversion, encoding and mobile SNG facilities.
Satellite services company GlobeCast has team up with Brazilian telecommunications group, Embratel, to contribute broadcast services, internet and telephony for Brazilian terrestrial broadcaster, TV Globo for this year’s Olympic Games in Athens.
