Haivision Play Pro Wins 2020 NAB Show Product of the Year Award

Free Mobile Application for Playing and Creating SRT Streams Recognized for Innovation in Remote Production

MONTREAL, CANADA - October 21, 2020 - Haivision, a leader in video streaming solutions, today announced that its free mobile app for high performance video streaming, Haivision Play Pro, received an NAB Show Product of the Year Award - the official awards program that recognizes the most significant and promising new products and technologies introduced in 2020.

Recognized in the remote production category, Haivision Play Pro offers a quick and easy way to watch and create SRT video streams from anywhere on an iPhone or iPad. Designed to empower broadcasters to securely monitor and create low latency feeds from anywhere using an iOS device (with Android support to be released shortly), Haivision Play Pro is relied upon by some of the biggest broadcasters across the globe.

COVID-19 has accelerated the pace of change in the broadcast industry and with concerns about employee health and safety, more organizations are turning to remote production models. Using the SRT protocol and public internet provides a cost-effective, low-latency way of getting feeds to the team members that need them and Haivision Play Pro is the easiest way to watch and create live SRT streams anywhere. With thousands of downloads to date, the app has fast become an essential and convenient tool enabling broadcast engineers, producers, directors, executives, and on-air talent working in the field or remotely from home to easily and securely monitor contribution streams, return, and teleprompter feeds as well as create video as an SRT stream directly from a mobile device.

In addition to SRT, Haivision's Play Pro app supports major performance streaming formats for playing and streaming live video, including UDP multicast and unicast with forward error correction (FEC), HLS (play only), and both H.264 and HEVC. Also, with Play Pro you can create and share channel lists or easily pair with the Haivision Media Platform to address enterprise-wide stream management challenges.

Haivision's free Play Pro application gives broadcasters around the world a simple, secure, and reliable way of providing teams with access to low latency, live video content that could previously only be viewed from a master control room or production studio, said Peter Maag, CMO and EVP of strategic partnerships, Haivision. Play Pro is an important product in Haivision's portfolio of solutions that enables the contribution, collaboration, and connectivity that underpin successful broadcast workflows.

Nominees like Haivision are revolutionizing the way people experience media and entertainment, said NAB Executive Vice President of Conventions and Business Operations Chris Brown. The 2020 NAB Show Product of the Year Awards highlight the best of what's new at the premier launchpad for breakthroughs at the intersection of media, entertainment and technology.
