Capitol-based Multi-media Provider Selected TVU Networks' IP-based Solution for Its Scalability in First Live Streaming Initiative
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CALIFORNIA - DECEMBER 4, 2019 - FedNet, the leading provider of multimedia content to the U.S. Congress, is providing live broadcast coverage of the impeachment inquiry hearings and the upcoming U.S. Senate trial against U.S. President Donald Trump this month using TVU Grid from TVU Networks, a technology and market leader in IP-based live video solutions, for video distribution over IP networks. FedNet maintains a secure video network throughout the Capitol complex, broadcasting thousands of hearings, press conferences and live coverage of Senate and House Floor debates every day. FedNet's selection of TVU Grid's IP-based video switching, routing and distribution for the impeachment hearings marks the first live streaming initiative by FedNet.
FedNet is providing live gavel-to-gavel, multi-camera switched coverage of the hearings, plus live interviews with legislators. Multiple event broadcast feeds will be available as a service offering on TVU Grid, with FedNet looking to reach educational institutions with relevant fields of study such as political science and journalism as well as commercial media outlets.
We needed an infinitely scalable set up, said Keith Carney, President, FedNet. With TVU Grid, we can scale to any number of locations to our network without increasing bandwidth requirements at each site. And we can route live video streams using TVU Grid anywhere in the world with sub-second latency. It's an extremely fluid system, which is perfect for us. And we're very confident in the robustness of the platform with the number of national media companies currently on TVU Grid.
TVU Grid provides point to multipoint bidirectional live video distribution over IP. Using the TVU Grid platform, users can view public video sources that are available around the world, and request to take the stream and make it available for their own viewing audience. TVU Command Center, the centralized management platform for all TVU solutions, is also the source of control for TVU Grid. Through TVU Command Center, you can see the status of all transmissions and TVU Servers.
The hearings this month are a large national and international news event, said TVU Networks' CEO Paul Shen. We're honored and thrilled FedNet selected TVU Grid for its scalability and centralized control for their first live streaming endeavor. We look forward to what they'll be able to accomplish with future events such as the State of the Union, political conventions and the 2020 U.S. Presidential elections.
FedNet is now live streaming the hearings on TVU Grid. Current FedNet and TVU Grid users can access the stream through TVU Gridlink on TVU Grid. Others can preview the live stream by signing up for TVU Gridlink at gridlink.tvunetworks.com.
