Technology has evolved in such a way that the transfer of data occurs in an instant and updates can be shared with a few swipes or clicks, in real-time. Along with this change in the communication landscape, the growth of video as a means to share, entertain, inform and educate is unrelenting — its impact on our communication undeniable.Every individual voice can now be heard, as people can easily share their opinions, thoughts and experiences through social media platforms. Countless online communities have been grown, and continue to grow, around these forms of communication — especially around video sharing, which has generated a number of modern professions such as blogger, vlogger, influencer and citizen journalist.Such professions, which could not have existed at all in the past, prove that, collectively, individual voices can be just as powerful, if not more powerful, than those of organizations who own and produce mainstream content and material. In today’s connected landscape, there is no doubt that user-generated content (UGC) is a potent tool in brand building, education and information sharing.

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.

TVU MLink incorporates TVU’s proven, award-winning, and advanced IP cellular video transmission technology into a rack-mount unit. Designed for use in satellite and microwave vehicles and studios, MLink uses the H.265 compression standard together with TVU’s proprietary Inverse StatMux Plus transmission algorithm for reliable video transmission that requires less data and overhead with lower operating cost. MLink is capable of aggregating the transmission signals from multiple transmission mediums simultaneously, including cellular, satellite, microwave, WiFi and Ethernet.

When using MLink that’s integrated into a satellite or microwave truck or van, there is no need to stop a live video feed when switching from cellular to satellite or microwave transmission and vice versa. MLink also gives you the flexibility to transmit solely over cellular while driving and then seamlessly switch or add satellite or microwave at your destination without needing to interrupt the transmission to deploy the mast.

TVU MLink is available in a model that supports 4K transmission.
