Video Services / Ad Hoc Video Operations

As one of the first commercial satellite teleports in the country, Microspace has long been a trusted provider for quality transmission of our clients’ occasional video content. Co-located with Microspace’s headquarters and Network Control Center in Raleigh, Video Services provides the same personal attention to a fifteen minute newsfeed as we do to our clients who require 24 hour a day transmission.

As the Vyvx First Video Affiliate in Raleigh, we offer distribution throughout the US as well as many international gateways. If production is a requirement, our insert studio can provide one camera interviews. We also offer playback/record formats in BetaSP, SVHS, DVD and DV Cam.
While these capabilities alone make Video Services ideal for most applications, our major advantage is the infrastructure we ’ve created and built upon with hybrid fiber and microwave interconnections throughout the city, state and nation. Among our transport avenues are:

TV Stations

Vyvx

Microspace is the Vyvx First Video Affiliate in our market. By this affiliation, we can send and receive live or taped video content over broadcast quality fiber from studios or sports venues to almost anywhere in the world. We can arrange for production from those locations, as well.

North Carolina Research and Education Network (NCREN-MCNC)

Microspace is connected to the NCREN statewide consortium consisting of over 21 member universities. This connectivity allows video content to be transported to Microspace for satellite or nationwide fiber distribution. Applications include distance education and live interviews with campus experts.

North Carolina Agency for Public Telecommunications

In addition to providing communication links to all state government agencies for multiple applications, NCAPT has long been the producer of Open Net and State to State programming. Microspace provides a gateway for these programs and offers the State of North Carolina emergency routing for live broadcasts in the event of a crisis.

TrailBlazer Studios

Located less than a mile from Microspace is one of the East Coast’s top video production companies, offering the largest stage facilities between Washington and Atlanta, as well as on-line Avid and off-line editing. For major live events, Trailblazer Studios deserves a close look and strong consideration.

Venue Interconnects

Duke University

Duke Recording Studios offers liveshots, studio production, SMT’s, and ENG service. Microspace also offers connections to Cameron Indoor Stadium, as well as Duke Medical Center.

ACC Media Office

Located in Greensboro, the ACC media office originates programming for member schools and media outlets.

Time Warner

Microspace is ideally situated to take advantage of Time Warner’s statewide fiber network. With hubs in many major North Carolina cities, including Charlotte, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, High Point, and Durham, we can provide end to end transmission from over 50 venues.

AT&T

Microspace has a dedicated broadcast quality fiber line from Ascent Media's switching center in New York City to our teleport. This is an ideal alternative for uplinking if New York teleports are at capacity and are unable to provide service.

Added Benefits

Microspace knows it’s important to be able to go to one resource with your requirements. That’s why we have aligned ourselves closely with many of the nation’s premier satellite transponder providers. These alliances allow us to offer our clients a wide variety of transponder inventory and the assurance that short events aren’t "bumped" for larger orders. Our long term relationships with transportable vendors insure that where a fiber interconnection isn’t available from your venue, we’ll provide a trusted transportable uplinker.

There you have it, from coast to coast, end to end, fiber to satellite, Microspace’s Video Services has the experience, the infrastructure, and the contacts to insure the success of your broadcasts.
