Intervenue production On-screen talent Any feed access

DirectIP

All processing at home. Only

camera heads at location.

Least amount of equipment

at venue.

Bandwidth requirement is high.

Uncompressed video streamed to

production hub.

Delay is minimal and not

an issue for the production

team.

Uses Direct IP technology

Minimum deployment on the venue

site

DirectIP

Worlds only solution that allows to have camera

base stations at a central location

Depending on the IP network

typically below 50 ms

DirectIP+

All processing at home. Only

camera heads at location.

Least amount of equipment

at venue.

Bandwidth requirement is reduced up

to 90% with compressed video

transported to the production hub.

Slightly higher, but no

operationally significant

delay for operation due to

compression workflow.

Uses Direct IP+ technology

Minimum deployment on the venue

site

Distributed Production & DirectIP

All camera signals and

processing at production

hub. Remote Panels for

directors and Replay

optional at the venue site.

Same bandwidth requirement as for

DirectIP or DirectIP+ with multiviewer

generated at production hub.Allows

director to be at any location.

Delay varies based on

distance between venue

and production hub. The

longer the distance the

greater the delay.
