VITEC's IPTV Sports Venue Solution Heads To NAB

VITEC has announced that it will demonstrate a number of solutions at NAB 2016, booth SL6305. It includes its IPTV Sports Venue Solution, featuring EZ TV; the MGW Ace/D265 HEVC point-to-point portable streaming solutions with Zixi stream protection; and the Pico TOUGH video encoder.

VITEC's EZ TV is an integral platform to the IPTV Sports Venue Solution, which allows any stadium or arena to stream high-quality live, on-demand, or recorded video over its existing IP infrastructure. The solution features low latency across all displays, synchronized playback, efficient scalability, and intuitive web-based admin capabilities.

The MGW Ace appliance is a 100% hardware-based HEVC (H.265) portable device for encoding and streaming video, and the MGW D265 is a portable HEVC IP decoder. The MGW Ace appliance features HEVC bandwidth-efficient compression, plus legacy H.264 capabilities and Zixi stream protection for reliable, artifact- and error-free content delivery. With a selection of I/Os and low power consumption using VITEC's HEVC compression chip, it's suited for streaming video, audio, and KLV metadata while in the field or on the move. When teamed with the MGW D265, it becomes an end-to-end, on-the-go streaming solution for several markets including broadcast, enterprise, and government.

At NAB 2016, VITEC will also showcase the MGW Pico TOUGH – a MIL-STD certified MPEG-4 H.264 HD/SD video encoder. It encodes and streams real-time video with frame-accurate metadata from any video source. Its fanless, pocket-size enclosure is designed for use on unmanned and manned vehicles, fly-away kits, and on-person in extreme conditions.

Philippe Wetzel, CEO, VITEC, said: "At this year's NAB Show, we will highlight our comprehensive IPTV Sports Venue Solution along with its new digital signage capabilities. Sports fans today want to be entertained in and out of their seats, but until now, the options were cost prohibitive. Our latest streaming technology provides customers with an affordable and reliable solution to optimize their displays and IP infrastructure, boosting fan engagement and creating additional revenue opportunities."
