Brazil. For the broadcast of the football world cup that just ended in Russia, Globosat selected Harmonic's Ultra HD (UHD) contribution solution.
"Harmonic's video delivery solutions have been a cornerstone of our infrastructure for years, providing high reliability and excellent video quality. For the broadcast of this top-tier sporting event, watched by billions of viewers around the world, we needed a solution that offered the lowest latency and the best video quality. With Harmonic's contribution platform on the ground in Russia, we were able to dazzle viewers with the best video quality UHD has to offer," said Roberto Primo, CTO of Globosat.
By offering one of the most watched sporting events to viewers on UHD, pay-TV operators were able to increase audience satisfaction and take advantage of new revenue opportunities. Harmonic's ViBE CP9000 contribution platform preserves video quality at the front of the transmission chain, processing uncompressed UHD signals with maximum bandwidth efficiency.
"Football is highly appreciated and seen all over the world, so it was the perfect opportunity to showcase UHD for live sports applications. We are delighted to be working with Globosat on one of the first UHD broadcasts of this major sporting event. By maintaining the details, sharpness and color gradients that UHD has to offer, Harmonic's contribution platform will improve the quality of the viewer experience," said Alvaro Martin, Vice President of Latam Sales at Harmonic.
As highlighted in several recent announcements, content and service providers around the world used Harmonic's innovative UHD contribution, media processing and delivery solutions to power delivery of this year's iconic football tournament.
