Lightpath Managed Video service is purpose-built to directly address the needs of the media sector, including production facilities, broadcasters, television stations, and content distributors, as well as non-media organizations, such as healthcare facilities, municipalities and enterprises with high-resolution "broadcast quality" video requirements, such as security surveillance and video conferencing. The new offering is ideally suited for file-based media and content transfers, utilizing the advantages of Carrier class Ethernet's resiliency to packet loss and jitter. Additionally, the service does not require any transport protocol conversions.

video services designed to meet the needs of the broadcast, entertainment and
enterprise markets, who are embracing IP as an enabler of information and
content distribution," said
"As the world's largest provider of integrated global services for the
creation, management and distribution of media content, Ascent Media is
eagerly awaiting the delivery of the Optimum Lightpath Managed Video service,"
said
