IBC2023: Vitec to showcase latest openGear card, IP gateway and EZ TV

Vitec will be highlighting its enhanced streaming solutions at IBC2023, demonstrating an array of performance and workflow enhancements for broadcast applications, including its latest MGW Diamond+ OG broadcast 4K encoder as well as its ChannelLink IP gateway. The latest EZ TV version dedicated to IPTV distribution and digital signage will also be on show.

“We’re delighted to showcase our latest products at IBC, which are designed to streamline workflows and support broadcast professionals to do more with less,” said Bruno Teissier, SVP of sales, Vitec. “Visitors will see demonstrations of our updated video streaming, IPTV and digital signage platforms, with new features that fall in line with our principles of productivity, flexibility, security and continually improving user experience.”

Designed for easy integration and robust streaming, MGW Diamond+ OG openGear card is suited to a wide range of contribution or point-to-point streaming applications over IP within production studios, broadcast facilities or corporate server rooms.

ChannelLink extends Vitec’s video distribution offering by enabling low latency and reliable delivery of IPTV content to remote employees or distant facilities. In line with Vitec’s green initiative, ChannelLink now ensures optimal use of the inbound transmission link bandwidth: the new SmartLink feature ensures IP source feeds are requested only when needed, which reduces the overall network traffic and power consumption.

Additionally, Vitec will show the EZ TV and Avedia IPTV and digital signage platforms, which enable users to stream live and on-demand content, create and manage digital signage, and distribute TV and in-house content over existing networks. The latest release of the Emmy award-winning EZ TV Platform, version 8.2, includes a wide range of enhancements across multiple modules, including: real-time end-point snapshots, providing operators with instant visual feedback of the HDMI output for the EP5 and EP5+; and the addition of SRT, HEVC and multi-view video playback in the EZ TV Player Lite HTML5 browser player.

Vitec team members will also be on hand to discuss the company’s GreenPEG initiative to optimise clean, environmentally friendly production standards to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
