TVU

Networks<https://www.tvunetworks.com/?utm_source=pipeline&utm_medium=press_relea

se&utm_campaign=Anywhere_SDK>, a market and technology leader in cloud and

IP-based live video solutions, today announced the TVU Anywhere SDK, a free

software development kit for the TVU Anywhere live IP video streaming app. With

the new TVU Anywhere SDK, developers can add reliable, high-quality,

low-latency live

video<https://www.tvunetworks.com/products/tvu-anywhere/?utm_source=pipeline&utm

_medium=press_release&utm_campaign=Anywhere_SDK> transmission to an iOS or

Android app, which makes it easy for reporters, viewers, and fans to contribute

live video for programming.

The TVU Anywhere SDK is ideal for developers involved in app creation for

broadcasters, news outlets, sports teams, or any other organization involved in

live video production. It allows them to integrate TVU Anywhere into an

existing app, which adds a robust live streaming element compatible with the

TVU Networks ecosystem including TVU

Receivers<https://www.tvunetworks.com/products/tvu-server/?utm_source=pipeline&u

tm_medium=press_release&utm_campaign=Anywhere_SDK>, TVU

Grid<https://www.tvunetworks.com/products/tvu-grid/?utm_source=pipeline&utm_medi

um=press_release&utm_campaign=Anywhere_SDK>, TVU

Producer<https://www.tvunetworks.com/products/tvu-producer/?utm_source=pipeline&

utm_medium=press_release&utm_campaign=Anywhere_SDK>, and more.

For example, a broadcaster can add TVU Anywhere into their app, allowing

reporters and crews to stream live video of breaking news directly from the

field without a separate camera or uplink equipment. Viewers can also become

citizen journalists and serve as an extension of the station's reporting force,

using the app to provide exclusive footage of local breaking news or events.

Beyond broadcast news, sports franchises can allow loyal fans to become part of

the action by transmitting live footage through their app from home, social

gatherings, or inside the venue for game-day scoreboard display or live

programs.

Live transmissions feed directly into the TVU ecosystem, providing

compatibility with TVU Grid for IP video distribution. Plus, the live footage

is compatible with TVU hardware devices, such as TVU Receivers and TVU Servers,

as well as cloud-based solutions including TVU Producer, TVU

MediaMind<https://www.tvunetworks.com/products/tvu-mediamind-appliance/?utm_sour

ce=pipeline&utm_medium=press_release&utm_campaign=Anywhere_SDK>, and TVU

Transcriber<https://www.tvunetworks.com/products/tvu-transcriber/?utm_source=pip

"Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, use of our TVU Anywhere app to share

live video from at-home contributors and reporters has simply exploded,"

explained Matt McEwen, vice president of product management. "The use of remote

production will only continue to grow, and live video is a key part of that

workflow. Our new TVU Anywhere SDK provides developers with a simple and

affordable way to help media companies, sports organizations, and other content

creators to generate more content from more people faster, which leads to more

viewer engagement."

Thousands of broadcasters and video professionals already use TVU Anywhere to

provide live reports from across town or remote locations across the world. It

features an intuitive user interface as well as robust features for

professional results. With TVU's patented IS+ protocol, TVU Anywhere provides

reliable, low-latency transmission for live coverage, even in extreme

conditions. It automatically bonds a mobile device's available cellular and

WiFi connections to provide maximum bandwidth and connection redundancy.

TVU Anywhere SDK is the newest member of the TVU family of APIs. Previous APIs

for TVU MediaMind, TVU Transceiver, TVU Grid, and TVU IS+ allow integration

with the TVU ecosystem of acquisition, production, transcoding, storage,

management, analytics, and distribution solutions. TVU Anywhere SDK, along with

complete instructions, is available now for direct download
