Playout is being delivered via the Cloud and on-prem servers

Globecast has been selected by AMC Networks International – UK to provide playout and distribution services across its 21 European channels.

Globecast’s flexible and technically creative approach, combined with their well-established satellite and terrestrial distribution infrastructure, has provided the ideal solution for us.”
