FRANCE 24,
a French 24-hour cable news network, has selected the Genesis
Networks fiber infrastructure to provide a permanent video
link between FRANCE 24's U.S. news bureau at the New York
Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the channel's Paris headquarters
for broadcast of North American news content to the European
viewing audience.
In addition, Genesis Networks is facilitating occasional-use
transmissions of live news shots from Jerusalem and New York.
The links provide FRANCE 24 with a turnkey and highly dependable
solution for its U.S. coverage, and enable Genesis Networks
to further extend its presence among the European broadcasting
community.
From the NYSE, the FRANCE 24 bureau is connected to the Genesis
Networks point of presence (POP) in New York for seamless
delivery of news content to the FRANCE 24 headquarters. In
addition to the video link, the agreement with Genesis Networks
includes all required video and audio transmission hardware
in New York and Paris, standards conversion from NTSC to PAL
at the NYSE, and 24/7 monitoring and technical support via
Genesis' network operations center.
In addition, Genesis Networks provides a
fiber link from JCS, a major Jerusalem-based production house,
to the FRANCE 24 headquarters for delivery of occasional live
feeds covering news of the Middle East. Genesis Networks also
provides an occasional-use link for live studio shots originating
from a production house in New York.
"As we continue to extend our news
coverage to broader regions around the globe, it is essential
that we partner with service providers that can guarantee
the highest levels of quality at an affordable price,"
said Frédéric Brochard, director of technology
for FRANCE 24. "We chose Genesis Networks for its technology
excellence and its track record of reliability."
"FRANCE 24 is setting the standard
for European news organizations in its objective to provide
global, continuous coverage from all parts of the world, and
we're pleased to help enable that mission," said Paul
Dujardin, president and CEO of Genesis Networks.
