Globecast
has announced that it has risen to the considerable challenges of this
year's Orange Africa Cup of Nations, EQUATORIAL GUINEA 2015, football
tournament, proving a variety of successful contribution and
distribution services that helped bring the tournament to screens around
the world.
Globecast
gathered a highly experienced team from its staff and began the process
of configuring and shipping seven HD flyaway uplink kits - there was a
total of 4.5 tons of equipment - then had to organise local logistics
and seven different satellites for contribution and distribution.
Globecast
supplied uplinks and contribution - main and backup feeds - from the
four stadium locations for its customer, to sports marketing agency
SPORTFIVE AFRICA. Distribution was global to 51 broadcasters, with
Globecast supplying a field team of engineers and a coordination manager
in Africa as well as a MCR in Paris with a dedicated engineer and
coordinator for each match. There was also a supervisor for worldwide
distribution plus remote live monitoring for each downlink on every
satellite. Additional French commentary was added in the Paris MCR,
giving a total of eight language broadcasts.
Persiaux
said, "This was clearly a very big project carried out in a very short
space of time. Having shipped and set up all the equipment, we produced
170 hours of live HD transmission using four C-Band and three Ku-band
satellites. This was the biggest single flyway operation managed by our
Paris office using skills from across the company. We are very proud to
have succeeded so well.”
