Private TV broadcasting onto Global Access’ DStv channel. Enables corporate companies to use the power of live and pre-recorded television to communicate with staff in their widely dispersed organizations.

Global Access’ approach to Corporate television is to take advantage of inexpensive consumer technology (DStv) and use this to deliver corporate messages in a television format. Programs are typically broadcast live (but can be pre-recorded) from our studios in Johannesburg onto the Global Access’ TV channel on the commercial bouquet of the DSTV platform. Programs can also be webcast when required. Broadcasts are private and can only be seen by authorised viewers.

Global Access’ channel is known as GA1 and can be found under “Commercial Subscriptions” on the DStv platform. “Commercial Subscriptions” can be found by pressing the TV button on the DStv remote and selecting from the onscreen menu.

Global Access has extensive experience in video-based training, using both packaged DVD concepts, pre-recorded broadcasts as well as live interactive broadcast solutions.

Using the private DStv channel, one can reach any known audience with the power of satellite broadcast television. South African doctors use this to manage continuous professional development without needing to attend time-consuming seminars and conferences.

Live phone calls, SMS interaction and a recently developed mass-interactive technology known as InLive!

SMS and live calls are well known in the world of live television. However, what makes Global Access’ solution truly unique and powerful is the addition of InLive, in partnership with Vodacom. With InLive, interaction with thousands of viewers becomes possible – even to the level of individual assessment. This concept is revolutionising television as a training tool.

Every live broadcast is an event! Global Access’ experience in outside broadcasts and live transmissions makes them natural partners in event management.

Global Access can capture any event, anywhere, and deliver it live onto any television platform.

Global Access has experienced graphics and animation artists who support all of our production teams. These services are also critical in making a digital signage screen come to life as it delivers its message.

Struggling to find venues suitable to receive Global Access’ corporate or information TV content, why not speak to us about the use of cinemas around South Africa?

Global Access is a leading operator of digital signage networks. We combine the power of live television with digital signage technology to create a “best of both worlds” solution.

Global Access has combined the best of live television broadcasting and digital signage systems into one complete comprehensive solution.

Global Access has provided typical digital signage solutions for the past 8 years. In particular, Global Access has managed a network of over 700 screens for Absa branches throughout South Africa.

Typical digital signage (also known as data-casting) solutions involve the delivery of data and video-based content from a computer or media player onto a screen (either a TV screen or Plasma/LCD). Where these networks are large the system often requires central control in which case content is delivered to the media players via LAN’s or dedicated satellite data delivery systems.

• Global Access’ Digital Signage solution is similar to this but has a few key attributes that make it unique. These include:
• A portion of the screen can be used for live satellite broadcast from any DSTV channel
• The screen (or a portion thereof) can be used for private, live corporate TV broadcasts
• Global Access can manage all aspects of content production, scheduling and delivery to the screens
• The system has a monitoring application which enables Global Access to monitor what is on the screens at any time

Global Access’ technical and television production skills, combined with a call centre support system, make us the ideal partner and solution provider for a digital signage solution. Global Access’ Digital Signage provides an extremely effective solution backed by Global Access’ technology and systems to support a widely distributed delivery system.

Global Access provides both “push” and “pull” video solutions to mobile phones to support both internal communication and consumer strategies.
