Broadcasters Around the World Use TVUPack for Live Coverage of 2012 U.S. Presidential Elections
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA, Nov 12, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
TVU Networks, the global technology leader in portable live
broadcast solutions, announced today that leading broadcasters around
the world relied upon TVUPack 3G/4G mobile uplink solutions to
broadcast live results of the U.S. local, national and presidential
elections.
Broadcast organizations from around the globe including SBS
(Australia), ARD (Germany), France 24, France TV, TVB (Hong Kong),
and BBTV (Thailand) leveraged TVU's global rental program to deploy
TVUPack in locations across the United States to deliver live
coverage of the presidential elections to their home nations. With
TVUPack, these leading broadcasters were able to deliver live
coverage of the events unfolding at the campaign headquarters of
President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. In addition to international
broadcasters, hundreds of U.S.-based broadcast stations used TVUPack
to cover national, state and local election results and deliver live
updates and innovative content to viewers.
"Because of TVUPack, we were able to dramatically increase our
ability to go live from various locations to cover the election
results. Ordinarily we would only be able to go live using one or two
OB vans in stationary locations. However, TVUPack enabled us to do
six simultaneous live shots, giving us a tremendous edge over our
competitors," said Jeff Clark, Operations Manager, WIFR TV. "Our
camera operators in the field love how easy the TVUPack is to use,
and by using a combination of data cards and WiFi, the picture
quality was just outstanding. We looked great on air."
TVUPack is a powerful cellular uplink solution that dynamically
segments a video signal and broadcasts it over multiple wireless
3G/4G/LTE, WiFi, WiMax, BGAN, satellite and microwave connections,
ensuring that bandwidth from each connection is fully utilized and
aggregated. As a result, TVUPack is able to deliver unmatched
stability, resiliency and picture quality -- even in the most
challenging network environments.
Already in use by hundreds of leading broadcast organizations around
the world, the TVUPack family of products gives broadcasters
satellite and microwave TV truck functionality in a lightweight,
portable and untethered form. TVUPack is the original one button
operation backpack, is simple to use and provides broadcasters with
low-latency, HD-quality signal that enables them to broadcast live at
any time and from any location. The TVUPack family of products has
been used to deliver professional-quality live HD footage of a number
of important events on every continent including the London Olympics,
U.S. presidential election primaries, the World Cup, the Japan
tsunami and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's recent tour of
the Middle East and North Africa.
