"Until now, broadcasting required millions of dollars to purchase complex and difficult-to-use equipment, building and storing huge studio sets and buying satellite time to distribute programming," stated Paul Montgomery, Co-CEO of Play. "Starting at around $7,500, Play's GlobeCaster breaks all these barriers by allowing ordinary people to create and distribute their own TV shows over the Internet. What Cable TV did for the broadcast industry GlobeCaster will do for the Internet." "Play's TV station-in-a-box is an incredibly ambitious product that has been under development for many years," added Mike Moore, Co-CEO of Play. "We have custom-designed 22 chips and put all this video processing and broadcasting power into one box, dramatically reducing the costs for anyone to own a TV station." Play will live-broadcast the future of television worldwide from the National Association of Broadcasters convention, April 19-22 in Las Vegas.
