TVU Networks Introduces TVU Grid, an Innovative New Live IP-Based Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multipoint Distribution, Routing and Switching Solution
TVU Drives Transition from Digital to IP With Powerful Live Distribution Solution
(Mountain View, CA - April 2, 2013 ) - the global technology leader in portable live electronic news gathering (ENG) broadcast solutions, announced today the launch of TVU Grid, a powerful yet simple video distribution, routing and switching solution that gives broadcasters the ability to seamlessly switch live IP video content, and easily and cost effectively share live video streams between multiple remote locations. TVU Grid offers unlimited scalability, making it an ideal point-to-point or point-to-multipoint live video distribution solution for network affiliates and station groups.
We are witnessing a rapidly growing shift from digital to IP, and TVU Grid is the next step in the move to an IP-only broadcast TV station. TVU Grid knocks down the walls of broadcast stations, enabling them to efficiently switch and route video content from any location and distribute their own content to anywhere with just the click of a button, said Paul Shen, CEO, TVU Networks. We have worked closely with our large customers to develop a simple video distribution solution that fits seamlessly into their existing ecosystem. Whether youre a station group or a network with O&O affiliates, TVU Grid represents the next evolution of technology for TV stations.
TVU Grid consists of the TVU Grid Transceiver, TVU Grid Switch Panel, TVU Grid Server, and TVU Grid Management Server. The widely adopted TVUPack, TVUPack Mini and TVU Anywhere mobile broadcast solutions are also an integral part of the TVU Grid ecosystem.
With TVU Grid Transceiver, broadcasters can distribute live video captured by any SDI input source including portable wireless broadcast devices like TVUPack transmitters, professional cameras, video switchers, standard media players and local live studio feeds with minimal latency. TVU Grid utilizes the new TVU Transceiver, a powerful purpose-built server capable of receiving and transmitting Grid streams as well as receiving and decoding TVUPack transmissions. A number of the largest and most respected Media Organizations and station groups have already deployed TVU Grid in the field, including Gray Television.
As one of the largest broadcast groups in the United States, the ability to share live video between multiple locations gives our stations a tremendous competitive advantage, said Jim Ocon, vice president, operations, Gray Television. TVU Grid will provide us with another powerful tool to be the first to get important footage to viewers.
The TVU Grid Solution offers a number of features and functionality:
Point to Point and Multipoint Distribution The TVU Grid transceiver enables stations to input an SDI feed or connect to a TVUPack transmitter in the field and distribute the feed to any number of other transceivers on the Grid network. TVU Grids simple to use interface gives operators fine grained control over switching and routing of video streams from anywhere on the Grid network.
Frame Accurate IP Video Switch With TVU Grid, broadcasters can now switch between different IP-based transmission video streams with no disruption of the video. TVUs unique and proprietary technology makes it possible to transition between live video feeds from different locations without any interruption.
Unlimited Switching TVU Grid enables broadcasters to input an unlimited number of video streams and switch between them on the fly. As a result, broadcast stations can switch to any content from anywhere on the Grid network without the use of a converter, dramatically increasing the number of video feeds accessible to the broadcast station.
Simple Operation TVU Grid Switch Panel features an optimized user-friendly interface that simplifies video signal distribution to compatible transceivers within your Grid network, enabling broadcasters to distribute video streams on the fly with just the click of a button.
Utilize Existing Infrastructure With TVU Grid, broadcasters can utilize their existing infrastructure by transmitting video between transceivers over their existing network environment. Additionally, Grid can easily scale to the needs of a broadcasters network by simply adding additional transceivers.
TVU Grid will be on display at NAB 2013 in TVU booth SU7105 and is immediately available for purchase. For more information about TVU Grid and other TVU Networks broadcast solutions, please visit www.tvupack.com.
