VsnIPTransfer facilitated video sharing during the 2010 World Cup

Numerous television channels used the VSN solution to exchange audiovisual content related to the World Cup in South Africa during the championship and in subsequent days. During IBC, VSN will demonstrate its new VsnIPTransfer Live module, which allows the transmission of live, broadcast-quality audiovisual content over IP networks.

During the days in which the 2010 Soccer World Cup took place, VsnIPTransfer registered the highest rate of activity experienced to date in terms of the transfer of content related to a sporting event. From the beginning to the end of the championship, daily transfers were recorded via the Internet, related to moments experienced during the matches, interviews, summaries, press conferences, etc. The technology has been used for long-distance contributions to all five continents, mostly made from South Africa. Television networks such as Telmex or Televicentro, in South America, recorded some of the highest rates of video transfers made from the African continent to their broadcast centers, with the consequent cost savings by avoiding the use of satellite for their contributions.

Regarding the possibilities offered by VsnIPTransfer, Fabio Escandón, manager of the Production Infrastructure of Telmex Colombia, has referred to the system "has been a fundamental tool for our production in South Africa. As satellite availability was a limited and expensive resource, we made use of Internet connectivity, which was not the best speed. However, the tool helped us transfer about twenty minutes of daily content. Our journalists captured the videos and pre-edited them before "We transferred them to Bogotá. We received them on the channel as a file and made a final edit, making them ready for broadcast."

For his part, Jordi Utiel, CEO of VSN, commented that he is very satisfied that “our technology makes the work of those professionals who deal with high-quality audiovisual content on a daily basis easier.”

The Spanish company will present the new VsnIPTransfer applications at IBC, which will have an improved and redesigned user interface. This solution will implement the new UMP protocol, developed exclusively by VSN and awaiting patenting, which will increase the speed of transfers from 20% to 60% faster than the current version, which is already 8 times faster than conventional FTP. As a first, demonstrations will be held of its new VsnIPTransfer Live module, which allows the transmission of live audiovisual content and broadcast quality over IP networks.
