NAB 2018: TVU Networks To Introduce New Version Of TVU One Mobile IP Newsgathering Transmitter

TVU Networks announced a new model of its award-winning TVU One with HEVC mobile IP newsgathering transmitter. TVU One TM1000G features a global-embedded modem for easy operation practically anywhere in the world. During NAB 2018, TVU Networks will showcase the new unit alongside its line of live IP video solutions.  

“When we first introduced TVU One, it was our first portable live video cellular broadcast product to use embedded internal modems instead of exclusively external USB modems. With its lightweight design, easy operation and broadcast picture quality, it has become an industry favorite,” says Paul Shen, CEO, TVU Networks.

“In the past, depending on where in the world the TVU One was going to be used to transmit video or data, a specific set of modems had to be installed to ensure compatibility with that region’s SIMs. This of course meant that modems had to be physically swapped out if a broadcaster was planning to use their TVU Ones in a country that required a different modem configuration. With the introduction of our new TVU One TM1000G model, we are once again raising the bar by offering increased flexibility and ease of use. The global modems available in the TM1000G ensures hassle-free operation by allowing broadcasters to simply insert local SIMs wherever they are into the transmitter, and with that, they’re ready to go live.”  

TVU One TM1000G includes all of the useful features of TVU Networks’ standard TVU One TM1000 IP newsgathering portable transmitter. Offering a robust set of functions designed to fit the needs of any size live video broadcaster, the transmitter is available with HEVC video compression and TVU’s patented Inverse Statmux Plus (IS+) transmission algorithm to transmit full HD-quality video with half-second latency at 3Mbps. TVU One is available with embedded modems and can transmit simultaneously over multiple connections, including cellular, microwave, satellite, BGAN, WiFi and Ethernet.

Weighing just 2.2 pounds, TVU One is ideal for use with broadcasters that travel the world to transmit live coverage of important events like elections, natural disasters, and sporting events to their viewers back home. With TVU One, broadcasters can fully leverage the versatility of a small, lightweight, IP-based high-definition video field transmitter without sacrificing performance, features or picture quality.
