Simplify your infrastructure while expanding your possibilities

IP Live is more than just a new interconnect system. It’s a game changer. Now you can slash construction costs, cut travel costs, cover more events, and accommodate 4K Ultra HD. IP Live is transforming the economics of broadcast networks as it replaces SDI interconnects. With Remote Production (REMI), you can broadcast a game where only the camera crew and talent need go on-location, and everyone else stays back in the studio. The potential is vast.
