NAB 07: TVU Networks To Showcase Full Line of IP Video Solutions

TVU Networks (Booth C3739) will demonstrate its hardware and software ecosystem for IP video. An extensive range of current and new TVU solutions - including the MLink TE4500 H.265/HEVC rack-mount encoder, TVU RPS (Remote Production System), TVU One mobile IP transmitter, and TVU Anywhere app - will be on display.

TVU will make its first appearance in the Central Hall, moving from its traditional location in South Hall.

Several soon-to-be-announced solutions supporting live video content will be introduced, including additional support for the H.265/HEVC compression standard.

This is a very exciting time for those of us who specialize in IP-based video solutions, says CEO Paul Shen. The advancements inherent in the H.265/HEVC algorithm are a game-changer in terms of more-efficient compression, requiring less data transmission. This year's NAB will highlight our efforts in that area as well as show our continued commitment to live video production with improvements based on customer feedback across our entire product line.

Among the H.265 compatible products on hand in the booth will be the MLink TE4500. The TVU MLink live-video uplink transmitter brings cellular 3G/4G LTE transmission capabilities to satellite and microwave vehicles, vans, and trucks. The MLink TE4500 is a rack-mount encoder that transmits video using HEVC compression and Inverse StatMux Plus advanced IP video technology. It delivers the same high-quality picture currently available with TVU's award-winning cellular IP-based live video transmitters but with more-efficient compression, requiring less data transmission.

For live remote production and transmission, TVU RPS offers producers 24/7 field coverage at a fraction of the cost of traditional methods. It allows production of a live, synchronized multicamera program in a remote location using mainly a broadcaster's existing control room and a public-internet connection from the field. The TVU RPS transmitter encodes up to six synchronized SDI sources and transmits high-quality and low-latency IP video from the remote location to a studio-based receiver, and the receiver outputs six synchronized SDI outputs. Using existing in-house production staff and equipment at the studio, a broadcaster no longer needs its own production crew in the field, saving significant cost in producing a remote, multicamera live shot.

With direct-streaming capabilities to Facebook Live, TVU continues to drive social-media interaction online between content creators and viewers.

Our overall integration between our product line and Facebook Live has proven to be an extremely popular, inexpensive, and immediate way for the full range of our customer base, from local TV stations, to houses of worship, sports broadcasters, to online content providers to communicate with their audience, Shen explains. We look forward to hearing more from our customers at NAB about how they're taking advantage of this application and from others curious about how our technology can benefit their operations.

TVU Networks will also showcase its flagship TVU One live mobile IP newsgathering transmitter, a compact solution that delivers high-quality IP video-transmission performance and features the company's patented Inverse StatMux Plus (IS+) transmission algorithm to transmit dependable HD-quality video with less than one-second latency. It's available with embedded modems and can transmit simultaneously over multiple mediums, including cellular, microwave, MIMO microwave mesh, Ka-band and Ku-band satellite, BGAN, WiFi, and Ethernet.

The TVU Anywhere app, which enables organizations to instantly capture and transmit footage from their mobile smart device, will be demonstrated. It enables reporters to instantly capture and transmit footage from anywhere at any time. Easy to use - download the app to a smartphone, tablet, or laptop, open the application, and start transmitting video - TVU Anywhere uses a 3G/4G/LTE wireless connection and WiFi when available to transmit live video to a TVU receiver.
