TVU Networks adds audio mixing to remote production solution
TVI Networks has added an audio mixing panel as a feature to its Cloud-based TVU Producer production solution.
According to the company, the panel’s simple, browser-based UI, gives operators full control of all audio signals from their home. TVU’s patented time synchronisation technology means the solution provides zero latency execution of production commands, as well as synchronisation between audio and video, while crews operate remotely and safely from their own locations.
“Our new Audio Mixing Panel has been a highly requested feature of TVU Producer, which enables anyone to produce professional video without expensive equipment or training,” said TVU Networks’ CEO Paul Shen. “The Audio Mixing Panel enables a crew to manage audio production from a separate location than video production. The mixing function is extremely easy to use and gives the audio operator full control over program audio.”
TAG Video Systems supports CMAF streaming format
TAG Video Systems has added support for the Common Media Application Format (CMAF), which it said will enable OTT customers to take advantage of more diverse platforms, simplified workflows, lower latency and reduced cost.
CMAF is the result of a collaboration between Microsoft and Apple, and is an open, extensible standard that enables efficient streaming over the HLS and MPEG-DASH protocols.
The company has also added support for Microsoft Smooth Streaming, a legacy hybrid media delivery method that acts like streaming but is based on HTTP progressive download.
