On the NAB Show Floor: Globecast Revealing Cloud Channel Playout Solutions and more...


At NAB2018 , Globecast is going to show the firm's new Cloud Channel Playout solution for SD, HD and 4K channels at Stand SU11406CM.

This is a media management service that provides market-friendly solutions to customers. Cloud playout significantly enhances service deployment efficiency, reduces time-to-market, and allows broadcasters to reach new international markets with lower upfront investment. This approach provides the ultimate in flexibility. The number of channels can be dynamically increased or reduced and the channel branding mix reshuffled for particular audiences and events. 

The new Cloud Channel Playout service from Globecast also provides broadcasters with an opportunity to increase revenue from international markets by localization of advertisements, programming and channel branding at a country level, or even at a per-affiliate level, based on local consumer needs.
