Key Information
History
[edit]In April 2010, the company released TVU Player, a live streaming viewer that enabled access to live television programming over broadband connections.[1] The service was discontinued in 2013.[2]
In September 2010, TVU introduced the TVU Pack TM8000, a backpack-style transmitter designed for live HD video transmission over the internet in low-bandwidth conditions.[3] The product employed channel bonding to combine multiple network connections for signal reliability.[4][5]
TVU later developed a mobile app for news gathering, compatible with iOS and Android devices, and introduced a cloud-based solution for point-to-multipoint live video distribution.
In 2013, Gray Television became the first national station group to implement TVU’s Grid platform.[6]
In 2015, the company launched TVU One, a compact portable transmitter that succeeded earlier cellular video units. The new model was significantly smaller than its predecessor.[7] That same year, TVU partnered with drone manufacturer DJI to support live aerial video transmission.[8]
Beginning in 2020, the company increased its focus on cloud-native solutions to support the broadcasting industry's shift from SDI to IP-based workflows.[9][10]
In July 2024, TVU announced a partnership with the BBC to support coverage of the 2024 UK general election. The collaboration delivered 369 live feeds to enhance election broadcasting across BBC platforms.[11]
