What is TVU MediaMesh?

TVU Networks is a Californian based broadcast technology company focused on IP based live video acquisition, and distribution. MediaMesh is their next generation infrastructure platform, a secure, low latency, scalable and global platform with mission critical reliability.

Based around the concept of “Global Shared Memory”, MediaMesh abstracts the complexity of signal routing, scaling and transport, thereby providing a flexible foundation for connecting sources, destinations, applications and services across cloud, on-premises and hybrid infrastructures.

Better together

TVU MediaMesh moves live signal; AMPP produces it. Feeds and sources carried on MediaMesh appear inside AMPP as discoverable, routable sources and vice versa - through TVU MediaHub Control, a native MXL enabled TVU application running in AMPP. A new remote source or destination becomes a configuration task instead of an engineering project, and the production keeps running where it already runs.

Sources, not signals

MediaMesh-connected feeds are searchable inside AMPP and vice versa alongside its own inputs. Operators find a source rather than engineering a route to one.

Exchange, both directions

Media and discovery run both ways over MXL, so finished output can also travel back across MediaMesh for distribution beyond the production.

Faster Workflow Deployment

Reduce engineering effort and operational complexity through native discovery and routing across both platforms.

Expand the Reach of AMPP

Extend AMPP beyond its native environment by making production resources available throughout a broader media ecosystem.

Reduce Operational Complexity

Replace costly custom integrations, protocol gateways and dedicated hardware with native interoperability between platforms.

Any Source. Any Destination.

Make live sources and destinations available across AMPP and MediaMesh regardless of location, infrastructure or vendor. MediaMesh’s secure, reliable and low latency transport gives a global network for your content.

How it works

Acquire anywhere, produce where you already produce

Discover

Sources and services connected to either MediaMesh or AMPP become discoverable across both environments - including TVU RPS feeds, TVU Anywhere contributors, AMPP inputs

Route

Operators discover, select and route available sources using familiar MediaMesh and AMPP interfaces. Content moves seamlessly between ecosystems without custom integrations or workflow redesign.

Produce

Media is processed using AMPP applications – make your production in the same way as before using AMPP’s elastic production platform

Deliver

Outputs reach any destination - AMPP and MediaMesh workflows, broadcast facilities, cloud environments, streaming platforms, OTT services and enterprise destinations - without additional gateways or dedicated receive hardware.

5G or RF, what is the best solution?

A Decade of Stability in Wireless Camera Systems

Wireless camera technology for sports, entertainment, and roving news has remained largely unchanged for over ten years. The industry has primarily relied on two core transmission technologies: private microwave (RF) links and bonded cellular systems. Each has carved out a niche in delivering reliable, mobile video coverage for live productions.

Strengths of Current Solutions

Private microwave links—often seen at major live sports and entertainment events—are prized for their ultra-low latency, high-quality video transmission. These systems enable wireless cameras to roam freely, unlocking dynamic and immersive viewing angles.
Bonded cellular systems offer greater flexibility and ease of deployment, especially in rapidly changing or mobile news environments. They aggregate multiple cellular connections to provide consistent video streaming.

The Limitations That Remain

Despite their advantages, both systems have clear limitations. Microwave-based solutions often require additional infrastructure to support two-way IP communication, complicating integration with modern IP-based broadcast workflows.
Meanwhile, bonded cellular systems can falter in densely populated environments where mobile networks are saturated. Variable latency further complicates their use in multi-camera or mixed-feed production scenarios, affecting synchronization and overall reliability.
