“Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, use of our TVU Anywhere app to share live video from at-home contributors and reporters has simply exploded,” explained Matt McEwen, vice president of product management, TVU Networks. “The use of remote production will only continue to grow, and live video is a key part of that workflow. Our new TVU Anywhere SDK provides developers with a simple and affordable way to help media companies, sports organizations, and other content creators to generate more content from more people faster, which leads to more viewer engagement.”
The Bottom Line: With TVU’s patented IS+ protocol, TVU Anywhere is designed to provide reliable, low-latency transmission for live coverage, even in extreme conditions.
