GlobeCast upgrades media contribution network with Net Insights Nimbra platform


Stockholm, Sweden - Net Insight has received an order from GlobeCast for an
upgrade of its media contribution network in Paris.

GlobeCast, a subsidiary of France Telecom, is a leading global provider of
content management and worldwide transmission services for professional
broadcast delivery. The company operates a secure global satellite and fibre
network to manage and transport 10 million hours of video and other rich media
each year.

With the new order GlobeCast modernizes and upgrades its media contribution
network in Paris with Nimbra 680 switches to meet new requirements of its
customers, like rapidly increasing use of HD.

This first phase of the upgrade interconnects multiple sites in Paris with use
of 10 Gbps STM-64 links. The media contribution network will handle simultaneous
transport of uncompressed and compressed video (HD-SDI, SD-SDI and ASI) based on
Net Insight's Nimbra 680 and the eight-port Video Access Module, which allows
for a wide variety of configurations and a mix of service content.

The Nimbra platform provides superior flexibility, efficiency and reliability
for contribution of media-rich content. The Nimbra 680 is a next generation
multi-service switch designed to meet the rigorous rich media and data service
requirements of the carrier and service provider markets including high
switching capacity, end-to-end provisioning and restoration, full topology
support, unique multicast support and 100 percent quality of service guaranteed.

Equipped with the 8 x Video Access Module, it offers extensive flexibility for
studio, contribution and distribution networks. Each of the module's eight ports
can be individually configured as In or Out and used for ASI as well as standard
definition (SD) or high definition (HD) SDI. The module delivers a
cost-effective multi-purpose solution for video streams that require a mix of
compressed and uncompressed HD and SD content.

The Nimbra equipment will be delivered during the first quarter 2010.
