TVU Networks launches TVU MediaHub cloud-driven platform

TVU Networks has unveiled TVU MediaHub, a cloud-driven platform offering versatility and efficiency when managing video signals in both IP and SDI environments.

Marking a departure from traditional hardware-dependent routers, TVU MediaHub is cloud-centric and has a hybrid architecture that supports limitless inputs and outputs, managing intricate signal matrices in both SDI and IP formats. This advancement signifies a major shift towards cloud-based digital media workflows, enhancing the quality and efficiency of broadcasting.

Paul Shen, CEO of TVU Networks, explained: “TVU MediaHub is born from our collaboration with over 4,000 leading media companies globally. As the demand for IP-based input and output sources grows, so does the complexity of managing increasing numbers of decoders and encoders. TVU MediaHub offers an innovative approach to handling, processing and routing these signals. We’re thrilled to now offer this solution to a wider audience.”

TVU MediaHub’s standout features include versatile input/output capability, accepting various input formats ranging from SDI, NDI, SRT and TVU Grid, to YouTube, and more. It can scale and direct outputs to multiple destinations in formats such as RTMP, HLS, TVU Grid and Facebook. The platform utilises resources on-premise in data centres, or in the cloud, with TVU providing additional resources as needed. It also offers a user-friendly interface with an object-oriented visual UI that allows operation without specialised training. Managed resources are available at $8.75/core monthly, with on-demand resources charged per minute during signal routing.

Additionally, TVU MediaHub is a key component of TVU Networks’ wider broadcast ecosystem, integrating AI-powered ingestion, advanced graphics, and streamlined live production and ad management tools. This comprehensive approach tackles a wide range of media supply chain challenges, offering an integrated broadcasting solution.

“TVU MediaHub is more than a routing tool; it’s a portal to endless broadcasting possibilities,” added Shen. “We’re eager to see how this platform will enable content creators and broadcasters to innovate and engage their audiences in novel, exciting ways.”
