FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
JVC PROFESSIONAL
VIDEO UNVEILS SRT SUPPORT FOR CONNECTED CAM™ Resilient, Secure
IP Transfer Protocol Gives Customers Another Streaming Option WAYNE, NJ, MARCH 24, 2020 –
JVC
Professional Video,
a division of JVCKENWOOD USA Corporation,
has added support for the SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) open
streaming IP protocol to its CONNECTED CAM™ series of broadcast
cameras. Incorporated into the GY-HC900,
GY-HC500 and GY-HC550 professional cameras, this latest update
further enhances the cameras’ already superior level of IP
connectivity.
“Since
introducing CONNECTED CAM™, we adopted the best-in-class QoS
technologies to enable efficient IP-based workflows that are robust
and secure,” says Edgar Shane, General Manager, Engineering,
JVCKENWOOD USA Corp. “The addition of the SRT streaming protocol
offers CONNECTED CAM™ customers another choice for video over IP
transport in addition to our existing Zixi protocol support that’s
been in place.” Developed by Haivision, SRT
is an open source video transport protocol and technology stack. It
is optimized for video streaming across unpredictable networks like
the internet. The protocol, which grew out of the desire to sidestep
the high costs of satellite and private network contribution, relies
on end-to-end 128/256-bit encryption to keep content secure. SRT
support for JVC CONNECTED CAM™ cameras is available as a firmware
upgrade from the JVC Professional Video website. “By
introducing support for the SRT protocol, JVC CONNECTED CAM™ can
leverage any network to deliver a best-in-class video streaming
experience - a powerful tool for content creation,” says Jesús
(Suso) Carrillo, Director SRT Alliance at Haivision. “SRT connects
edge devices to the cloud in a reliable and secure way, whether it
be for live news gathering or transferring files to the studio. With
this implementation, JVC CONNECTED CAM™ ensures reliable cloud-based
workflows, whatever the network conditions.”
The JVC
CONNECTED CAM™
Series of products leverages IP packet delivery technologies to
enable bidirectional connectivity for transport of video, audio and
control signals throughout the production workflow. It also allows
for IFB and return video to CONNECTED CAM™ cameras in the field. The
series transforms the reach and scope of professional video
production. They are equally well-suited to applications as simple
as streaming to a social media site or as sophisticated as acquiring
and transporting ENG and EFP content to a control room, either live
or via FTP.
Advanced streaming
capabilities of JVC’s CONNECTED CAM™ series enable a powerful video
workflow that’s faster, lighter weight and more flexible than
traditional setups that rely on ENG microwave trucks and even IP
backpack alternatives. Depending upon the CONNECTED CAM™ model,
cameras can connect wirelessly via built-in MIMO antennas to a
wireless LAN, snap-on bonded LTE access point or integrated Ethernet
port.
Bidirectional IP packet
transport moves live video and audio between the camera and studio,
among multiple CONNECTED CAM™ units and even as streaming media to
social media sites like Facebook. CONNECTED CAM™ series cameras also
can transport files via FTP transfer. Two channels of IFB
communication via IP connection allow a studio producer to talk to
the camera operator and talent in the field, while return video from
the studio transported via the same connection makes it simple to
ensure shots are framed accurately. In
addition to the SRT protocol, JVC CONNECTED
CAM cameras also support Zixi, effectively addressing the challenges
(latency, jitter and packet loss) of transporting content via LTE,
Wi-Fi and LAN networks. Both protocols ensure the cameras are
outfitted with the reliable IP packet transport necessary to meet
expectations for broadcast-quality video in a professional
production environment. Both have also gained broad support from the
vendor community.
