While transitioning from a linear to a digital broadcast and media landscape, organizations face major challenges. The digital distribution opportunity is fast becoming a reality, but this is generating large losses as it is Capex heavy. Digital incoming feeds are growing exponentially, and this is becoming chaotic and disorganized.LTN Live Video Cloud is built for acquiring, routing, and distributing high-value live streams in a scalable and flexible manner to enable you to be production-ready within minutes without any necessary capital expenditure or hardware dependency.

It allows the broadcaster to aggregate and handle large numbers of digital input feeds and distribute output feeds without expanding investment in existing legacy switching infrastructure. In turn it increases the value of the content by expanding the digital audience reach and revenue without capital expenditure.With LTN Live Video Cloud, broadcasters can acquire unlimited concurrent live feeds from professional cameras, encoders, mobiles, drones, and online sources. They can curate and route live signals within a continuous playback multi-view to unlimited outputs and allocate content wherever it is needed and distribute live signals simultaneously to unlimited online destinations and traditional broadcast infrastructures.

TVU’s 6th generation mobile IP video transmitter is a breakthrough in size and performance. TVU One with HEVC cellular mobile solution uses both HEVC video compression and TVU’s patented Inverse StatMux Plus (IS+) transmission algorithm to transmit HD quality video at 3Mbps with half-second latency. By utilizing the H.265 compression standard, TVU One uses less data and generates less overhead leading to lower operational costs while delivering even greater transmission reliability. TVU One with HEVC is available with embedded modems and can transmit simultaneously over multiple connections, including cellular, microwave, satellite, BGAN, WiFi, and Ethernet.

Key Features and Benefits of TVU One with HEVC:

Software-based HEVC encoder - An optimized encoder for mobile transmission environment. Significant improvement than off-shelf hardware encoder, which often are designed for different applications.

Fast Starting - Boots in less than 20 seconds from cold start with one button operation

Half-second Latency - Reliable transmission at half-second latency even in fast moving vehicles

Dual Encoding - Creates an exact recorded copy of the source video from the camera to the TVU One’s on-board SSD. The pristine recording is at a much higher bit-rate than that of any live transmission bit-rate and can be accessed at any time as a back-up recording.

Return Video Feed - Enables field camera crews to stay connected with the station through TVU One as a confidence monitor for live on-air broadcast.

The HE4000 is an UHD and multi-HD encoder combining the best-in-class 10-bit and 4:2:2 HEVC video compression format with the latest generation of AVIWEST’s SafeStreams® technology for delivery of live video content over unmanaged networks — such as 3G/4G-LTE cellular network and/or public internet — at low latencies and bitrates.

Combined with the patented AVIWEST’s SafeStreams® technology — which incorporates IP bonding techniques, precision timing over bonded cellular and the public internet, and adaptive bitrate encoding — broadcasters save dropped packets during live transmission due to multiple layers of redundancy. SafeStreams automatically recovers dropped packets through forward error correction. Then, if the errors are too long or too deep, then automatic retransmission kicks in to request the missing packets. Finally, this technology also has a built-in level of redundancy. Together, those elements make for the ultimate in reliability across all possible IP-based networks. Together, those elements make for the ultimate in reliability across all possible IP-based networks.

The HE4000 is fully integrated with the Manager and StreamHub transceiver to simplify system monitoring, management, content reception, and distribution over unmanaged networks.
