The deployed solutions feature a vast array of WinMedia TV tools for production and planning, which is installed in the broadcasters' premises, as well as a WinMedia playout system, set up in Globecast's technical operation center in Paris. This innovative remotely controlled solution enables broadcasters to run their channel playout operations from their own premises, controlling costs and enabling them to be completely hands-on with their channel. We have a unique combination of network reach and satellite capacity, which combined with WinMedia solutions means we can offer our broadcasters of all sizes a one-stop offering that covers content preparation, management as well as local and global delivery, explains Didier Mainard, VP Sales Globecast.

Thanks to WinMedia TV comprehensive suite, broadcasters quickly prepare and preview their playlists, add any number of upper/lower third graphics and send their programming to the fully redundant playout system in Paris, adds Pascal Cima, Europe, Middle East & Africa Sales Manager at WinMedia Europe.

Each playout server can simultaneously broadcast up to four different channels in HD and/or SD formats. From there, the channels are sent via satellite to a Globecast's teleport for uplink onto the satellite Platform.
