IFC chooses TVU One 4K HDR backpacks to cover the 2021 edition of its championship

The Indonesian Cycling Championships have been covered by the IFC with broadcast backpacks TVU One, capable of offering content in 4K HDR.

The team of the Indonesian Cycling Federation (ICF) opted for TVU Networks solutions to cover an event that took place on October 26: the Criterium Road Race, in Garut (West Java). The ICF broadcast team transmitted audio and video from several motorcycles, despite the difficult technical conditions of the road race, thanks to patented technology Inverse StatMux Plus (IS+) from TVU One. IS+ uses “less data” to achieve transmissions with “virtually zero” latency, up to 0.8 seconds. TV One, with a battery four and a half hours, select the most powerful cellular network connection and simultaneously add up to 12 data connections, including 3G/4G, 5G LTE, WiFi, Ethernet, satellite and microwave. On the other hand, its hardware encryption chip H.265 delivers 60fps HDR video and full broadcast quality for just 3 Mbps (and 1080p60 HDR at just 800 Kbps).

This is not the first time that the ICF team has relied on the TVU One, since at the beginning of 2021 these same backpacks were used to cover an 8-stage race, which opened with a tour of the peninsula and ended 1,115 km later with climbs on the Indonesian mainland. Indonesian Motoshoot, a local production company, provided the necessary services for coverage. Hidayatullah Hadi, project director of the firm, provides more details: "In some places in Indonesia, there is only 70% cellular coverage, whether 3G or 4G, but even so the TVU One gives us a stable 60 fps image. In the past, with products from a competing provider, we experienced frequent image freezes in areas such as Sumatra, Papua, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, where there are poor network conditions. But when we record live video from the cameras With the TVU One mobile transmitter, the video quality remains good and very stable, even when the available bandwidth is scarce, thanks to its H.265 chip.”
