TVU Networks has introduced the completely Cloud-based TVU Talkshow – the first all-in-one solution for multi-camera production that enables audience participation with video.
TVU Talkshow supports bi-directional audience participation, enabling fans to engage with an event or hosted show in real-time. An unlimited number of participants can video call in using the TVU Talkshow app on their mobile phone. TVU Talkshow’s integrated caller management system enables producers to pre-screen all callers. TVU Talkshow also supports IFB management to ensure effective and seamless communication whether it’s hosts interacting with callers or the producers, production crew and camera operators coordinating with each other.
As the solution is based entirely in the Cloud, there is no wiring required and operation is simplified with one, centralised GUI that can be operated from a web browser. TVU Talkshow can simultaneously deliver live content to multiple destinations, such as social media platform like Facebook Live or YouTube Live, the CDN or web page of the user’s choice, and over 3000 major TV stations globally on TVU Grid, as well as traditional SDI output through a TVU receiver.
Furthermore, TVU Talkshow is an open platform which enables third party providing their services by integrating them through TVU Open API. The integration with cloud-based Singular.live IP graphics platform, provides advanced real-time graphics overlay capabilities to Producer’s live production environment from any location.
“There’s nothing like TVU Talkshow on the market right now,” said David Jorba, EVP, managing director Europe, TVU Networks. “It’s the first Cloud-based multi-camera production solution to support and manage unlimited live audience participation with video.”
“TVU Talkshow was designed to be a highly flexible all-in-one solution, with modular video production components. Combining a number of patented technologies, such as frame accurate synchronisation technology, TVU Talkshow enables producers to do a broadcast quality live production accessing TVU’s cloud-based platform from anywhere, with maximum scalability and an efficient pay-for-what-you-use business model.”
Embedded with H.265 encoding and patented IS+ transmission algorithm, fans can send live Full HD video from anywhere using their smartphone – be it a crowded stadium, mountain range overseas or even a fast-moving vehicle – to the studio and contribute to the conversation live.
“By incorporating lower cost and proven remote and studio applications, we’re enabling broadcasters to extend their reach to niche markets by producing live shows and events with the frequency and resolution previously reserved for much larger productions,” added Jorba.
