Scopus Network Technologies, a leading provider of digital compression technologies to the broadcast industry, will be providing the digital transmission of the FIFA 2002 World Cup games from Korea.
Scopus broadcasting equipment will transmit nearly 20 digitally compressed channels from each of the 10 stadiums across Korea where the games will be played. These live feeds will be transmitted via telecommunications links to the International Broadcasting Centre located in Seoul, where it will be routed and re-transmitted to three earth stations in Korea and then up-linked to a satellite for broadcast around the globe.
Scopus is represented in South Africa by Graphic Image Technologies (GIT). Says GIT MD Mark Chertkow: "In such a competitive industry, choosing Scopus for broadcasting the World Cup is a testament to their quality, performance and end-to-end system and service capabilities."
