The collaboration demonstrated the potential of easily integrating professional REMI production into any media workflow with the portable TVU RPS One for field contribution and TVU Producer for cloud-based production.
During a live concert by the renowned singer Israel Fernández at the Real Observatorio Astronómico de Madrid, UHD-Spain deployed next-generation audio (NGA), 5G driven contribution, cloud production mixing, 5G Broadcast, and commodity internet for transmission to deliver exceptional video and audio during the live broadcast.
Emili Planas, CTO at Group MediaPro as well as a member of UHD Spain’s board of directors highlighted the significance of this collaboration, stating, “This collaboration demonstrates another avenue for live production. Very soon, the production model we have tested will become the standard for covering live events with the highest UHD-HDR quality, leveraging the capabilities of 5G, and delocalized operations through connected resources.”
The UHD-Spain trial introduced several key elements that reshaped UHD-HDR broadcasting. At the heart of the trial was the TVU RPS One, an ultra-portable, battery-powered REMI solution designed to support synchronized multi-camera feeds with 5G connectivity. This included a 5G-powered UHD-HDR workflow with 3 TVU RPS One transmitters that flawlessly delivered high-quality HDR-HLG content via 5G, utilizing cloud-based processing, and leveraging multiple signal transport methods, such as DTT (DVB-T2), satellite (DVB-S2), and the internet (OTT, HbbTV) simultaneously, providing viewers access on various platforms like TV, PCs, tablets, and mobile devices.
UHD Spain also showcased the potential of cloud-based remote production by seamlessly integrating mixing and production processing in the cloud using TVU Producer, setting a new standard for UHD-HDR broadcasting.
Miguel Cristóbal, CEO of SAPEC and also coordinator and one of the board directors of UHD-Spain, commented on the trial’s success, stating, “The experience of seeing how a 5G network can be used to contribute UHD-HDR signals with enriched audio, upload them to the cloud for remote production, and process them for distribution via 5G Broadcast has been truly remarkable and enlightening. This process has allowed us to gain invaluable insights into the potential of using these technologies together to successfully reach viewers in a new more effective way.”
Rafael Castillo, VP of EMEA and LATAM at TVU Networks, added, “The trust placed in TVU’s innovative solutions by esteemed partners like MediaPro and UHD-Spain underscores our unwavering commitment to pioneering advanced broadcast technologies.
