Colombia’s Caracol Television Delivers Major Soccer Tournament With Level 3

Caracol Television, one of Colombia’s main television networks, used Level 3 Communications broadcast-based Vyvx Solutions to distribute the international feed of an annual Latin American soccer tournament, June 3 to 26, from different U.S. soccer stadiums to Caracol Television’s studios in Bogotá, Colombia.

Level 3’s Vyvx VenueNet+ transported more than 60 hours of video content as part of the event’s coverage.

Level 3’s on-site equipment and connectivity provided Caracol Television with a diverse, end-to-end network service enabling viewers to access every match.

As part of this service, Caracol Television used compression services to transmit Level 3’s high-definition JPEG 2000 channel, with 150 mbps for video transmission.

Level 3 also managed all encoding, decoding and switching equipment.
