22 Junho 2005 - 9:50AM
Business Wire
Sony Electronics and Glowpoint, Inc. (NASDAQ: GLOW) announced today
that the leading cable sports entertainment network has selected
Sony and GlowPoint to provide broadcasting services during the live
television coverage of the 2005 National Basketball Association
draft on June 28 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New
York. During the live event, on-air personalities will conduct
interviews with team coaches, players and other key personnel
located at 17 remote locations throughout the country using
broadcast-quality IP-based technology. GlowPoint's reliability,
quality and ease-of-use enables it to deliver the interview footage
in real-time entirely over its Video-over-IP network in conjunction
with standard IP-based video communications equipment. The IP-based
broadcasting solution will utilize a combination of Sony IPELA(R)
videoconferencing systems and GlowPoint's IP-based video
communication services to capture and air real-time interviews. NBA
team representatives located at remote locations throughout the
country will connect to the GlowPoint network via Sony PCS-1 and
PCS-G70 video communication systems located at the cable operator's
Bristol, Conn. studios. The remote team locations will use the Sony
Event Server, powered by GlowPoint, which has been specially
designed and configured for remote content acquisition to bring a
new level of versatility, spontaneity and convenience to IP-based
video broadcasting. "Our IP-based broadcasting of interviews during
the NBA draft takes videoconferencing far beyond the conference
room and places it directly within a live television program," said
David Trachtenberg, president and CEO of GlowPoint. "Collaborating
with Sony has created a best of breed solution for broadcasters
looking for innovative ways to create, capture and display content.
Our successful track record and continued wins in the broadcast
market demonstrate that IP-video communication has become a viable
complement to satellite transmission and a long term broadcasting
solution for this market." "Sony is committed to providing
top-quality, two-way communication equipment built to record and
transmit high quality video and audio that meets the demanding
requirements of live broadcast television," said Michael
McCausland, vice president for visual communications at Sony
Electronics. "By combining Sony technology with GlowPoint's
services, we are leveraging our collective innovations to break new
ground in live broadcasting." The 2005 NBA draft represents the
second live television event this year in which GlowPoint has
joined with Sony to provide IP-based broadcasting services; the
first being the recent National Football League draft in April. It
also marks the sixth time in three years that GlowPoint's IP-based
services have been selected to provide live, on-air interviews
during the national cable broadcast of a professional sports draft.
