TvTel deploys Sony codec for 32-stadium Chile league coverage
TvTel, a provider of broadcast production services in Latin America, has deployed a remote production and contribution solution using Nevion's Virtuoso HEVC with a Sony-developed HEVC codec. This solution enables high-quality, low-latency live coverage for the Chilean football league from 32 stadiums to TvTel's headquarters in Santiago, reducing bandwidth consumption and costs. The setup includes Virtuosos in 8 OB trucks and Nevion VideoIPath for orchestration and broadcast control.
Key Takeaways
- TvTel will cover up to 480 football games a year from 32 stadiums using 8 small OB trucks.
- Virtuoso HEVC can transport up to 16 video signals from stadiums and up to 4 return feeds.
- Nevion VideoIPath provides orchestration and broadcast control for the Santiago headquarters setup.
- The deployment includes 48 HDC-3100 and HDC-5500 cameras.
- Nevion said this is the first deployment of the new HEVC codec in Latin America.
Why It Matters
TvTel now has a remote production chain that ties 32 stadiums back to Santiago while reducing bandwidth use and cost, which is the immediate operational change in this rollout. The setup also shows how Sony's Networked Live ecosystem, Nevion's Virtuoso, and VideoIPath are being used together for sports contribution and control across 8 OB trucks and a central facility. The next concrete signal to watch is whether the same HEVC codec appears in additional Latin American deployments after this first one.
