The Virtuosos will provide the SDI to IP (SMPTE ST 2110) adaption and dual path signal protection (SMPTE ST 2022-7). VideoIPath will be used to orchestrate the flows from sources to destinations. CP-Touch we be the interface used by the production staff.

The first phase of the solution will go live in September 2019.

We believe this will bring us a greater flexibility in production, that will enable us to deliver on our mission to get closer to the people, by delivering ever more relevant and compelling content to our viewers."
