Thanks to IPV technology, news video feeds can be made available on journalists' desktops within seconds of reception, making rapid turnaround and re-purposing of news programming easy.

IPV has a long heritage in providing low bit-rate browse technology for use in newsrooms. Our products enable efficient workflows where large numbers of journalists and editorial staff can concurrently access both archive and live video sources on their PC or Mac computers in the form of low bit-rate proxy media.

Our real-time encoding technology ensures the capture of high quality video and multitrack audio in a low bit-rate frame-accurate format, whilst video is also being analysed for scene changes. Exact correlation with high resolution media at all times is obtained ensuring optimum visual quality even at low bit-rates and allowing subsequent scene-by-scene rapid searching, by desktop users. For maximum efficiency, video can be used on the desktop whilst still being encoded.

Our server technology enables concurrent use by hundreds of users with optimum use of IP network bandwidth and no reduction in performance. Its rich set of media tools and VTR-type viewing allow rapid and intuitive access to video assets at all times.

In news broadcast systems where file based ingest is also required, our transcoding technology enables seamless handling and interchange of both file based and video assets.
