"Our support for Latin American video companies is a natural extension of the work we are already doing for a number of leading Spanish-language television networks and on demand programming providers in the U.S.," said Gary Traver, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the Comcast Media Center. "The CMC's video content solutions are well-suited to support the Latin American market in expanding their video content distribution through new viewing platforms."

Comcast Media Center's capabilities include a 35,000 square-foot earth station with 36 dedicated uplink antennas (C-band and Ku-band), distribution in MPEG-2 and MPEG-4, visibility into the Atlantic and Pacific operating regions (AOR and POR) and access to satellites reaching most continents.

The CMC also provides an on-site teleport dedicated to occasional transmission that can support 72 simultaneous satellite or fiber feeds, in addition to a highly flexible and configurable network origination and playout facility supporting both HD and SD formats, and a VOD distribution platform that delivers more than 9,000 VOD assets from 275 content providers per month, reaching more than 40 million VOD-enabled TV households in the U.S.
