MONTREAL – Canadian video supplier Aldea Solutions is delivering the 2015 Toronto Pan Am Games to major broadcasters and media companies in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru.
The company said that its robust fibre-based services allow for the transport of bi-directional video and data, allowing for live HD broadcasts from Toronto's IBC (International Broadcast Center) to its clients' main studios in South America. To address the demands for expanded coverage during the event, Aldea is also offering services from temporary studios in the city plus services ranging from live-standup positions to on-site production.
"This is our third presence at the Pan-American games after Guadalajara (Mexico) in 2011 and Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) in 2007”, said CEO Lionel Bentolila, in the news release. “For these games, six out of seven international broadcasters present at the IBC selected Aldea's fiber services for their broadcast and remote operations and we are very proud to be the service provider of choice for this important event in Canada. Aldea's expertise in fiber-based video services and its experience in delivering complex international transmission projects were key factors in being selected for this mission critical application".
