MAKE LIVE PORTABLE
Newsbridge is partnering up with iconic German football club, Bayer 04 Leverkusen, to deploy its media hub to access, store, manage and share its media assets – including a 20- year archive (consisting of approximately 3000 hours of video recordings). “The granularity of Newsbridge’s search engine is incredible as we bring 20 years of club archives to the cloud. The platform’s integration with Stats Perform lets us easily pinpoint, clip and collate specific player and match highlights, past and present, and share them with our fans and sponsors much faster. We’re pleased to be using Newsbridge for our cloud media hub,” stated head of content at Bayer Leverkusen, Jan-Philip Kirschke. Leverkusen will also use Newsbridge to ingest and auto-index future games, interview footage and live photos for its top-tier men’s and women’s teams, along with its U19 and U17 youth teams. INTEGRATING AND INDEXING News came from LiveU of the release of its new portable encoder, with new 4K and HEVC capabilities. The Solo Pro portable bonding encoder combines the 4K and HEVC to deliver high-quality video coverage, also combining six IP connections with four 4G/5G cellular modems – as well as Wi-Fi and LAN which leverages LiveU’s patented LRT (LiveU Reliable Transport). “Our goal was to deliver a cutting-edge product that will service all streaming needs for years to come, including 4K,
HEVC and extreme reliability. I firmly believe that our users will find the Solo Pro a future-proof investment for their workflow, providing peace of mind for live streams using proven broadcast-quality tech,” said Daniel Pisarski, LiveU CTO. On top of this, the new encoder can be used for virtually any kind of live event – indoors and out. Examples include corporate, entertainment, sports, government, religious and IRL streaming – as well as for content creators using Twitch, Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo and TikTok.
Japanese broadcast giant Mainichi Broadcasting System (MBS) used TVU Networks’ TVU One live video system in Osaka for its video production. “We’ve been very impressed with the remote operation,” said an MBS spokesperson. “Our on-site camera crew turns the power on and the rest of the production is done from HQ. Reporters can transmit from anywhere – we don’t need them at a studio to deliver our coverage reliably. The quick start-up time, convenience and high-quality transmission were the decisive factors in our selection of the TVU ecosystem.” Deploying multiple TVU One mobile transmitters and transceivers for both live news and sports coverage, TVU was selected by MBS after a rigorously competitive process.
