TVU Networks Partners with JVCKenwood To Support SRT Live Video Streaming

TVU Networks, a provider of cloud and IP-based live video solutions, has partnered with JVC Professional Video, a division of JVCKenwood USA, to provide seamless access to TVU’s cloud-based solutions via Connected Cam cameras using the native SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) video transport protocol. The companies say the partnership provides “improved content sharing and distribution workflows for sports and news organizations that have invested in the popular line of JVC studio, shoulder-mount and handheld camcorders.”

With built-in encoders and decoders, JVC’s GY-HC500 and GY-HC900 Connected Cam cameras are the only professional broadcast cameras that offer native SRT support without the need for external equipment. The cameras can stream live video over the internet via Wi-Fi or LAN connection, and return video can provide the program feed, prompter content or camera control information for the camera operator.

TVU accepts Connected Cam content directly into its cloud-native production platform as live ISOs. Connected Cam signals can also flow through the TVU Grid network, allowing seamless point-to-multipoint live video distribution or a direct connection to the TVU Partyline collaboration and broadcast-quality conferencing program for live productions.

TVU Networks now provides seamless access to its cloud-based solutions via JVC’s Connected Cam cameras using the native SRT video transport protocol.

“TVU Grid is the best point-to-multipoint cloud-based distribution system in the world, and broadcasters who have invested in Connected Cam want to be able to ingest their live streams into the TVU ecosystem,” said Edgar Shane, JVCKenwood USA general manager of engineering. “That’s where SRT comes in very handy. It’s a de facto standard for sending live video over the internet. The fact that TVU is supporting this protocol only adds to their leadership position in content and live stream management.”

Greg Doggett, director of sports, entertainment, and strategic alliances, TVU Networks, said: “Several station groups have embraced JVCKenwood’s Connected Cam for ENG and multi-camera live sports production. Now, these organizations have an easy path for contributing and distributing assets. TVU’s native support makes it easy for JVC cameras to connect directly to TVU Grid and our other cloud-based solutions. We’re excited to work with JVC and see how broadcasters will use this seamless connectivity for at-home productions, REMI workflows, and other programming applications.”
