A custom solution designed by GlobeCast allows TAM TAM TV to broadcast its programming in an efficient and cost-effective way

IBC Amsterdam – 15 September 2008 – GlobeCast was chosen by TAM TAM TV, the first private television channel in Côte d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast), to provide a broadcast solution that combines remote broadcast delivery via internet with satellite distribution of the general entertainment channel.

GlobeCast’s vast experience in content management and delivery allowed it to offer a totally customised solution to TAM TAM TV, which allows the channel to have total control of its content from its control room in Abidjan, thanks to a simple internet connection, and within the budget of a start-up channel.

TAM TAM TV’s programmes, managed locally and autonomously by the channel, are sent via internet to GlobeCast’s technical operations centre in Paris, thanks to a technology developed by GlobeCast and integrated into a PC-compatible content management programme. This application also allows TAM TAM TV to construct its daily playlist from Côte d’Ivoire, and to send and control its delivery via internet to the European satellite distribution server in Paris, itself connected to the EUROBIRD 9 satellite platform.

The solution conceived for TAM TAM TV allows the channel to benefit from the same expertise given to GlobeCast’s premium television channels around the world. In addition to the monitoring of TAM TAM TV, which is carried out by GlobeCast’s technical team in Paris, GlobeCast has set up a return feed via internet that allows TAM TAM TV to monitor the signal in real time from its office in Côte d’Ivoire.

The major advantages of the end-to-end solution offered to TAM TAM TV include its cost-effectiveness and its portability, allowing the channel to supervise and even modify its programming from any internet connection.

The full service provided to this channel demonstrates GlobeCast’s ability to adapt to the specific requirements of any channel, regardless of size or budget.
