Based on our past experience with TVU technology, reliability and support, we were very glad to turn to them again as a partner to help us with comprehensive live coverage of this important election,” said Kairali TV’s Biju Radhakrishnan. “TVU’s innovative IP and cloud-based solutions are sure to deliver the lowest latency, fastest boot time, best transmission quality under any environment and long battery charge for sustained use. We’ve seen how their IS+ technology together with HEVC have consistently delivered outstanding picture quality using lower data bandwidth.”
