TORONTO and BURLINGTON, Ont. — Broadcast services company Mediapro Canada announced today it signed a new deal to provide a channel playout solution to motorsports channel REV TV Canada.
As part of the deal, Mediapro Canada will also support the channel with remote production facilities and live integration for a series of motorsport events across Canada and the United States.
The company’s playout centre and broadcast facilities in Toronto (pictured is Mediapro Canada’s master control room) are part of Spain-based Grupo Mediapro’s wider international playout service, which provides customers with reliable and self-managed channel playout automation, says the company’s press release. Mediapro has other playout centres in Madrid, Barcelona, Miami and Sofia, Bulgaria.
All of its centres are equipped with content ingest and management, digital archiving, quality control, subtitling, ad and logo insertion, and graphic overlay, and are interconnected via a fibre-based network, facilitating global distribution via satellite and terrestrial video networks, says the release.
