Arqiva has enhanced its media services to broadcasters with the opening of a new state-of-the-art European Playout Centre.
The purpose-built, high-tech suite has been designed to deliver a range of high definition television playout services which complements Arqiva’s extensive international distribution offering.
The European Playout Centre provides broadcasters with a fully managed playout in HD and SD, as well as Arqiva’s Remote Playout service. In addition Arqiva is offering a full range of services to support channel playout, including advanced graphics, subtitling, SD simulcast and time delay. There are also co-located post-production and live studio broadcast facilities.
John Bozza, Sales Director, Broadcast & Media at Arqiva, said, “Our investment in the new European Playout Centre establishes Arqiva as a long-term leader in the playout and distribution of international television. Arqiva already plays out over 50 services including household names in the UK and around the world.”
The European Playout Centre is co-located at one of Arqiva’s key UK teleports close to London with direct access to Arqiva’s global distribution network of fibre and satellite connectivity.
