At NAB 2008, Glowpoint Inc., an IP-based video communications service provider, will be demonstrating live two-way communications in full 720/60p. Glowpoint pioneered two-way interactive broadcasting at the 2003 NFL Draft delivering SD feeds between all 32 NFL team sites and their clients.

“Maintaining cost-effective, ultra-clean, and proactively maintained IP network connections for our clients is our mission in this industry,” says Dan Boland, Glowpoint VP, Broadcast & Digital Media.

Glowpoint provides high-definition interactive broadcasting for the Big Ten Network, as well as for other sports broadcasting networks and leagues. According to Boland, Glowpoint clients are collectively driving the economics of IP interactive broadcasting directly into their respective broadband interests. “The value that we provide in supporting live broadcasting,” he says, “is especially valuable in broadband as an alternative for satellite and much more expensive terrestrial IP alternatives.”

Glowpoint’s service provides broadcast-quality images and network reliability. “With our subscription-based, always-on, all-you-can-eat model,” says Boland, “our broadcasters take full advantage of capturing volumes of new fresh content into their programming.”
