PARIS, April 19, 2005/Satnews Daily/ — GlobeCast has launched WING, its global IP-based Content Management Platform that forms the backbone of a global content management network to support delivery of the emerging array of non-linear media.
Spearheading the launch of this platform is a live demonstration at NAB 2005 of WING Content Exchange for Contribution, the platform’s powerful IP-based video exchange and collaboration tool to facilitate professional video sharing and laptop newsgathering from any wired or wireless connection.
In another development, GlobeCast has announced that France’s leading broadcaster, Francetelevisions, is conducting beta testing of WING Content Exchange for Contribution.
WING Content Exchange for Contribution provides “communities” of nomadic, freelance and field staff producers with access to a range of collaboration tools and value added services – all under one secure platform. The WING platform provides independence for “in the field” staff and allows any authorized member of a team to contribute video footage from any connection as easily as sending an email – in a format that is just as user friendly.
To use WING-enabled applications, members use a personal identification key, or Dongle, to log in to the platform’s ultra-secure VPN channel from any Windows-based PC or laptop using any type of connection. Once connected, WING provides users with a range of functionalities.
Beta tests of WING Content Exchange are being conducted with Francetelevisions, who is considering a large-scale implementation of the product at 24 regional stations. Other major broadcasters are also currently testing the product under Non Disclosure Agreements with GlobeCast.
In November 2004, a live experiment was conducted by Francetelevisions for the grand opening of the Millau Viaduct in France, the world’s tallest bridge. The experiment compared and contrasted satellite and DSL connectivity by using both connections side-by-side in conjunction with WING Live and WING File. The two connection methods yielded equally successful results.
Globecast said WING revolutionizes content management by using the omnipresence of broadband connections. The result is a platform that reduces the cost, logistics and infrastructure associated with more traditional solutions, while adding a layer of interactive collaboration to the process so that remote teams, bureaus and headquarters can stay connected at every step – all under the highest security.
