Globecast Australia
Delivers I’m A
Celebrity… Get Me Out Of
Here!
16 MARCH
2015
Globecast Australia has
transmitted the UK,
German and Australian
series of one of the
world’s top
entertainment
franchises, I’m a
Celebrity… Get Me Out Of
Here!, for ITV Studios.
Between November
2014 and March 2015, the
company delivered over
100 hours of live
digital television
entertainment using the
satellite resources of
Intelsat, Eutelsat and
Optus with its worldwide
fibre network as a
backbone.
Set in the
tropical rainforests of
northern NSW, the
fourteenth UK series of I’m
a Celebrity… Get Me Out
Of Here!, produced
by ITV Studios UK, was
broadcast on ITV for
three weeks leading up
to Christmas. Using the
same location, the ninth
German series, produced
by ITV Studios Germany,
was broadcast on RTL for
sixteen nights in a row
in early 2015.
In early February,
Network Ten premiered
the first Australian
version of I’m
a Celebrity… Get Me Out
Of Here!,
produced by ITV Studios
Australia. Filmed in the
rugged South African
jungle, the show was on
air five nights a week,
until last evening.
Both the UK and
German series were
uplinked from the remote
set in northern NSW.
Achieved by Globecast
Australia’s DSNG
capability including
on-site configuring of
encoding equipment and
satellite uplink
solutions with full
redundancy. Feeds were
monitored in Globecast
Australia’s 24/7 Master
Control and Teleport in
Sydney.
For the Australian
series set in South
Africa, Globecast South
Africa handled the
on-ground uplink
infrastructure, while
Globecast Australia once
again leveraged its
global network of fibre
and satellite resources
to deliver two
geographically diverse
paths to Network Ten.
Globecast
Australia has
facilitated the
transmission of fourteen
UK series and nine
German series of I’m
a Celebrity… Get Me Out
Of Here!.
Globecast
Australia CEO Simon
Farnsworth said:
“Utilising our strong
technical capabilities
to deliver content from
remote locations around
the world, we are
proud of our
long association with
ITV Studios.”
