Imagine Communications has joined the LiveIP project, a collaboration of Belgian public broadcasting company VRT and the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), as a technology partner. The collaboration is intended to advance the adoption of IP-based media solutions and production facilities.
The LiveIP project, driven by the VRT Sandbox incubator program and the EBU, has developed an IP video production studio based on industry standards that is designed to demonstrate interoperability and leverage IP to create efficiencies, such as remote production and automation.
Imagine's SelenioFlex Live encoding solution and EPIC Multiviewer (MV), a software-based hybrid SDI-IP monitoring solution, will be part of the LiveIP Studio production setup. VRT and EBU announced last week that the LiveIP production facilities will be used by IBC TV to produce some of the programming scheduled for the IBC 2016 conference and exhibition in Amsterdam in September.
