TVU Networks has launched a new on-prem version of its cloud-native playout and channel scheduling platform.
According to the company, TVU Channel On-Prem is a direct response to broadcasters and channel operators who had requested the simplicity of TVU Channel without being tied to the cloud.
The box can be deployed for temporary, seasonal, or event-driven linear and FAST channels; sports tournaments, election coverage, and pop-up channels.
TVU Channel On‑Prem packages the full Channel feature set: scheduling, playlist management, graphics, ad insertion, and multi-destination distribution, said the company. Users can also install the same software directly onto existing servers.
We had customers ask, point blank, if they could just buy the box,” said Curtis Stanley, VP of channel playout at TVU Networks. “That’s exactly what we built. It’s the same Channel experience our cloud customers already trust, running on hardware they control, at a price that makes launching a channel a decision instead of a budget meeting.”
