Tata Communications, a leading provider of A New World of Communications, has successfully showcased the next generation of capability for video distribution by relaying content from the 2013 Formula 1 Singtel Singapore Grand Prix directly to Formula One Management's Biggin Hill headquarters in the UK. The live video feed was sent using Tata Communications' Video Connect service on its wholly-owned fibre network in what was Tata Communications' first live video contribution demonstration for Formula One Management and a group of leading broadcasters.
The capability demonstration included the supply of JPEG 2000 quality video live from the race circuit as well as multiple programme feeds - all made possible due to the use of its fibre network and media management services.
Being able to tap into the world's only fibre optic global ring of super-fast cables opens the door for endless possibilities in sports video distribution. Using fibre, broadcasters have the opportunity to manage content in ways not possible via satellite - giving them options on what video feeds they share with the viewer for consumption.
Tata Communications is a leading global provider of a new world of communications. With a leadership position in emerging markets, Tata Communications leverages its advanced solutions capabilities and domain expertise across its global and pan-India network to deliver managed solutions to multi-national enterprises, service providers and Indian consumers.
