VITEC, a worldwide leader in advanced video encoding and streaming solutions, has announced it will feature the latest release of its award-winning IPTV and Digital Signage Solution for Sports Venues at the 2018 National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Convention.
Held in June at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland, NACDA’s annual convention is the largest gathering of collegiate administrators in the country.
The new release adds video wall functionality and certified interoperability with the latest content protection and DRM standards required by the leading services providers for IPTV deployments, while enabling collegiate athletic departments to stream broadcast-grade video and manage digital signage campaigns from one comprehensive platform.
“The platform gives universities the ability to install it in one sports facility and then scale it to other venues until it encompasses the entire athletic department,” said Mr Joe Walsh, VITEC’s sales director for sports and entertainment venues.
VITEC’s IPTV and Digital Signage Solution for Sports Venues allows sports faculties to stream high-quality live and on-demand video seamlessly and cost-effectively, create dynamically personalized content and digital signage and deliver it over existing IP infrastructure without impacting other network services. Each display then becomes a visual attraction that fans can enjoy. In suites, the automatically updated electronic program guide and video-on-demand capability provide access to nonlinear content that cannot be seen in homes.
Furthering the value of the system, the platform’s new video wall capability simplifies deployment and management of projects involving IPTV, digital signage, and video wall content. VITEC’s video wall processors are hardware-based, feature low-latency native playback of IPTV streams up to 4K and support interactive content transformations. Over 50 displays can be managed from one processor, including nonstandard layouts and resolutions of TVs and LED walls.
The new release of the platform also expands its DRM interoperability and adds enterprise IPTV capabilities like time-shifted TV and a new mobile app that allow users to stream IPTV content on their own devices.
