MediaPower, Time4Stream And TVU Networks Announce Partnership

In a significant move at IBC 2023, MediaPower, Time4Stream, and TVU Networks unveiled their collaborative partnership.

With a shared goal of combining research, development, and their corporate experiences, MediaPower and Time4Stream have always been at the forefront of innovation. Their respective companies have achieved numerous successes over the years, and now they have combined their experiences to create exceptional value in the market.

Today, the trajectories of MediaPower and Time4Stream converge, marking the onset of an ambitious endeavor. Together, they plan to bring forth innovative ideas, products, and services, all anchored around the cutting-edge solutions of TVU Networks, which is exclusively represented by MediaPower in Italy.

This partnership represents more than just an alliance; it signals the dawning of a new era in broadcast transmissions and the evolution towards cloud-based media workflows. As a united front, the three companies aspire to enhance the production and distribution of adaptive digital content, ensuring it meets the ever-evolving demands of the sector.

This melding of expertise and technology is aimed squarely at promoting innovation. With tools tailored for both established broadcasters and the new wave of content creators, the partnership ensures streamlined, budget-friendly workflows for all external operations.

"Major global challenges in the dynamic world of news and sports, place us in front of a series of transformations, more necessary now than ever," stated Nino Gravino, manager of Time4Stream. "The TVU technology platform and live production ecosystem - among the most innovative - are perfectly in line with our growth strategies. We are delighted to be able to offer our customers new tools and increasingly cutting-edge technologies from today onwards, thanks to MediaPower and TVU Networks."

"At the IBC Show in Amsterdam, TVU Networks introduced to Europe a revolutionary live transmitter, the One: with game-changing 5G capabilities and unprecedented 0.3s latency. Compact at 1.79kg and 200mm tall, it seamlessly integrates into any broadcast workflow, be it single or multi-camera setups," commented Fabio Veggiato, MediaPower commercial director. "Additionally, TVU has upgraded its cloud platform to 4K Native, pushing live production benchmarks even higher. Coupled with its exclusive frame-accurate cloud capability, they now cater to top-tier news and sports coverage, from multi-camera production to remote commentaries, replays and review for VAR applications, as well as playout."

"The One is a shining example of TVU's dedication to innovation," said Jean-Christophe Albou, Europe Sales Director at TVU Networks. "With 4K HDR 4:2:2 transmission, H.265 encoding, and our cutting-edge ISX algorithm, it ensures ultra-low latency broadcasts, handling 1 to 4 live video sources with ease. Seamlessly integrated into our cloud and on-premise ecosystems, the One employs artificial intelligence to enrich video feeds with automated metadata. In addition, our comprehensive 4K-native ecosystem, anchored on a format-agnostic microservice architecture, spans the entire live content journey. From AI-driven ingesting, switching, intercom and integrated graphics, we equip broadcasters with the tools to achieve exceptional quality without needing a complex infrastructure.”

"We have thoroughly studied the potential of the One before including it among our capabilities," declared Nando Tuccillo, manager of Time4Stream. "It's not just the device's ability to break transmission latency barriers that excites us, but also TVU’s expansive cloud platform. This addition means that alongside our own top-tier solutions, we can offer clients TVU's cutting-edge tools, merging reliability with game-changing innovations. We're poised to show the world the full potential of this partnership, help and support the national market to analyze the new potential of the TVU ecosystem, dedicating direct and qualified technical support to all users.

"We have always invested in technology and the future - added Nino Gravino - and the common path now traced with MediaPower and its TVU Networks brand is a great result achieved. We are certain that we are only at the beginning of a great new experience."
