NBC Deploys VITEC IPTV Solution for Its In-House Video Delivery System
“In looking for a new solution, NBC faced some challenges. The integration of the MSNBC Network into 30 Rock added 400 more production personnel with 50+ more required feeds all within NBC’s existing space. With a majority of NBC’s News, Sports and Entertainment programming originating in high definition, HD infrastructure needed to be supported. Given all these considerations, NBC’s best option was to go with an IPTV based solution, which was deployed. Advances in IPTV technology have made this a clear choice for cost, scalability and support. This paper will detail NBC’s new IPTV Distribution system and will highlight many of the advantages that this system has given them.“
