VITEC Showcases End-to-End Video Streaming At Silvus Connect

VITEC, a market-leading provider of IPTV, video streaming and digital signage solutions, showcased its ability to deliver end-to-end solutions for managing, recording, tagging, and retransmitting video streams with a unique workflow demonstration at Silvus Connect Germany 2024. The event – attended by military, government, and first-responder organizations from around the world – provided end users with first-hand experience of Silvus-based mesh networked communication solutions and applications. VITEC technology was deployed to integrate a wide range of live video feeds, including those from drones, bodycams, and static cameras, and deliver them to various endpoints in critical scenarios.

"It was great to work with partners at Silvus Connect to demonstrate what can be achieved. VITEC is uniquely positioned to deliver a complete solution that brings diverse inputs together, making them usable and accessible across multiple platforms," said Peter Hoffmann, Senior Business Development Manager at VITEC. "The event reinforced the reliability of our solutions in critical environments and demonstrated our ability to collaborate effectively with partners to streamline complex workflows and address unique operational challenges."

The event, hosted by Broadcast Solutions at an airfield close to its headquarter in Bingen am Rhein, Germany, saw VITEC deploy several of its products to facilitate the showcase. Broadcast Solutions MeshLink together with VITEC MGW Diamond and MGW Pico+ TOUGH encoders were used to stream video feeds from drones, static cameras, and bodycams, while ChannelLink gateway distributed content to multiple endpoints, including public displays and VuWall Command and Control Centers. The EZ TV Platform managed and delivered live feeds to public displays, harnessing the EZ TV Lite Player for viewing via ruggedized PC and standard PC clients. To record and tag live feeds efficiently, VITEC employed EZ TV Media Library, enabling AI-driven metadata tagging for improved content recording and retrieval.

Managing and distributing video streams from multiple sources, each utilizing distinct protocols and formats, presented a significant challenge. VITEC's technologies ensured consistent delivery with minimal latency to meet the operational requirements of the event by standardizing and integrating video feeds from drones, bodycams, and static cameras. Additionally, its technology delivered streams in formats compatible with multiple receivers, such as videowalls, mobile devices, and public displays. VITEC worked closely with partners including Silvus, Fuji, Quantum, VuWall and Broadcast Solutions to ensure all content could be successfully received, distributed, and displayed, meeting the expectations of all stakeholders at the event.
