The world of professional Broadcast

is expanding
2- The amount of TV programming "content" is growing
dramatically
3- The range of TV viewing devices is moving beyond
TV sets to PCs & mobile devices
4- Video-On-Demand (VOD) services complicate "content"
management solutions
5- High Definition TV will expand bandwidth needs
of Broadcast Television services
6- Interactive TV applications from Digital Terrestrial,
Digital Cable and Digital Satellite systems require additional
data management services
7- Internet portals are providing broadcast TV "content"
via on demand and streaming
8- Delivering high-quality Digital Broadcast TV
Video to all these new services and new devices is growing
more complex, and is, in fact, a "moving target"
Companies that create and produce TV "content" need
to deliver more programming to a greater number of delivery
channels. BBC Broadcast has developed, and is successfully
operating, their service. Coincidentally, the sale of
BBC Broadcast, Limited, presents a world-class opportunity
for a company to become a technology leader in this emerging
business. |
