Leading sports webcaster Servecast announced
that FC Barcelona has chosen its advanced Media
Studio platform to deliver the club's broadband
video service, Barça TV Online.
The Barça TV Online service will provide
a mixture of delayed and live coverage of football
matches. The majority of the online video content
will be similar to that broadcast over the club's
TV channel, Barça TV.
As part of the service, Servecast will design,
build and setup the complete subscription and
delivery platform for Barça TV online.
Servecast will create a branded viewing console
consistent with the new Barcelona website. The
payment interface and security/protection systems
are implemented by Servecast and the club is provided
with geo-targeting to control delivery of content
to different locations around the world. FC Barcelona
will also be provided with Servecast's Media Studio
CMS, a sophisticated content management tool to
provide complete control over the addition and
editing of content to Barça TV online.
Media Studio CRM will provide access to online
statistics to analyse subscriber behaviour and
devise future promotional campaigns based on this
information.
