  • SM2 and RRsat Lead the Way in MPEG-4 Sports Broadcasting



    REEM, Israel , October 21, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- RRsat Global Communications Network Ltd. (NASDAQ: RRST), a leading provider of comprehensive content management and global distribution services to the television and radio Broadcasting industries, is working with Sm2 Sports Media Solutions, LLC, and their teleport partner TV2GO in Canada , to deliver live HD sporting events worldwide in MPEG-4, including the US Open, the PGA Championship and for the first time globally, the 2010 NFL season.

    The reduction in megahertz and reduced latency period make HD MPEG-4 broadcast particularly attractive for live sporting events with a global demand for viewership. This is precisely why RRsat and Sm2 have teamed together to broadcast major events.

    "Using MPEG-4 to broadcast HD content via satellites is more cost effective than the standard 18 megahertz transmission and yet delivers very high quality HD resolution," said Susanna Mandel-Mantello, Owner of Sm2 Sports Media Solutions. "There are few companies with teleport specialists worldwide capable of supporting this, which is why RRsat is such a valuable partner in making MPEG-4 transmission a reality.

    "What we and Sm2 are doing with live global sports broadcasting is extremely exciting," said Shmulik Itzhaki, Sr. Director, Broadcast Sales & Occasional Services of RRsat "We believe our combined solution relying on the RRsat Global Network is able to meet the growing worldwide demand for live sporting events faster and in a more affordable way, while maintaining HD quality image and sound."
