The centerpiece of the exhibition will be TVU’s RPS (Remote Production System) family of REMI solutions for multi-channel remote production over the public Internet, together with TVU Channel – the new infrastructure-free 24/7 solution, which will be launched with the TV Tech Best of Show Award at NAB 2022.
“Deploying remote production in the cloud has never been an easier decision,” he said Liming Fu, vice president of APAC sales at TVU Networks. “We look forward to showcasing our powerful TVU ecosystem to our customers and colleagues at BroadcastAsia in June. The powerful TVU channel was created to enable cloud-based playout for the world’s largest broadcasters. And now it gives every organization browser-based controls to easily create and manage channels. TVU’s overall modular building block approach allows broadcasters to quickly and easily test new models for monetizing businesses.”
The TVU RPS Link Encoder is the broadcast industry’s 5G REMI solution, delivering frame-accurate multi-channel production over the public internet with integrated IS+ for reliable transmission. Compatible with the cloud-based live video production platform TVU Producer 3.0, it allows broadcasters to leverage existing studio infrastructure for production while reducing on-site staff and equipment. The TVU RPS Link Encoder, available in 4 and 6 channel versions, synchronizes multiple live video sources over 5G/LTE networks and delivers the same high standards as a traditional broadcast setup. It is ideal for recording live sporting events, concerts and festivals, church services, talk shows and press conferences, regardless of size, and broadcasting them anywhere in the world.
RPS supports up to eight live video feeds, transmits up to six live Full HD transmissions and receives two high quality video feeds, along with support for return audio feeds and up to 16 audio channels per SDI input. It also facilitates two-way IFB management to ensure quick and easy VoIP intercom between the studio and the field. HEVC/H.265 optimizes data usage with sub-second latency over the public internet. It features channel priority management in case of bitrate drop and can aggregate up to two separate links on the codec for increased bandwidth and redundancy. Secure and encrypted VLAN tunnels enable perfect multi-channel synchronization between studio and remote teams for frame-accurate, gen-locked live productions.
TVU Channel allows users to launch and schedule continuous live and VOD programming from a simple web browser. The infrastructure-free, cloud-based solution can be used for broadcast via a traditional TV channel, an OTT or pop-up channel, or for direct distribution on social media – all simultaneously and without additional infrastructure. TVU Channel is not just for TV, it’s ideal for radio stations, newspapers, magazines, places of worship, universities, amateur sports leagues, law enforcement and government agencies.
The cloud-native TVU channel can be quickly deployed without complicated configuration or extensive training. Creating and managing channels is as easy as using a calendar, with a browser-based interface that can be accessed via any smart device from anywhere in the world with internet access. Because users don’t have to be in a physical studio, TVU Channel can even serve as a backup master control if a physical studio isn’t accessible.
