NAB Show New York: TVU Networks to Showcase 5G Cellular Transmission, Remote Production, Cloud-Based Broadcast Solutions

TVU Networks, a provider of cloud-based workflow solutions for live content production and distribution, will show a lineup of cloud and on-prem solutions at NAB Show New York on Oct. 25-26 at the Javits Center (Booth 542).

Making its North America debut following an unveiling at IBC 2023, the ONE is a compact and full-featured 5G cellular transmitter available. Weighing just 1.79 kg and at 200 mm tall, the ONE incurs latency as low as 0.3 second using cellular connectivity. It can also switch to REMI production within minutes for synchronized, multi-camera live event coverage for up to four video sources. In addition to the ONE, TVU will demonstrate the latest updates in its full line up of 4K-supported, cloud-based solutions for live video production, including TVU Search, TVU Producer, TVU Grid and TVU Channel.

The ONE uses the latest generation Sub 6GHz, 3GPP Release 16, 5G embedded modems. With multiple antennas per modem, it offers the an advanced antenna array and also supports MIMO uplink. TVU says “this ensures transmission with wider coverage, better range, increased data transfer rates, and the assurance of future compatibility of 5G network deployments.”

The ONE includes the latest version of TVU’s patented Inverse StatMux transmission technology fully integrated into the unit.

TVU Search features content search capabilities based on advanced AI algorithms and automation, allowing users to locate live or archival feeds or clips for immediate playout, download, or sharing. It features a plug-in integration with Adobe Premiere Pro, giving users access to TVU Search directly from within the interface of the editing application. With TVU Producer, users can natively ingest live video to the cloud from virtually any IP video source or VOD content and fully produce the content in 4K. This includes switching sources, accessing graphics overlays, and custom PIP configurations to name a few. TVU Grid delivers highly scalable point-to-point and point-to-multipoint switching, routing and distribution of live video over commodity internet.

“TVU Channel upends traditional playout. It doesn’t operate on customary infrastructure, which can be both expensive and complicated,” the company says. “TVU Channel, enables the user to schedule live and VOD programming from a simple web browser. The cloud-based TVU Channel can be deployed in minutes to schedule and manage one or hundreds of live content channels including OTT, websites, apps and social media. It supports live and pre-programmed content, dynamic ad insertion with SCTE decoration, and can be set to operate continuously 24/7 with no downtime.”

“Since last year’s NAB New York, we’ve continued to expand the capabilities of the TVU cloud ecosystem in support of the Media Supply Chain with an emphasis on our microservices and AI-assisted offerings,” said Matt Keiler, TVU Networks VP of North America sales. “With the addition of the ONE, plus the integration of our AI-driven TVU Search with Adobe Premiere Pro, and a new version of our ISX protocol for unparalleled cellular transmission, broadcasters can capture, produce, and distribute content easier, faster and more cost effectively than ever before.”
