VITEC, a worldwide leader in advanced digital video solutions, has partnered with Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca to provide their end-to-end IPTV video streaming solutions, featuring TurboVideo technology for Low Latency streaming, for the Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix.
MotoGP is the world’s premier motorcycling championship with the largest spectator attendance of any race held at Mazda Raceway, the Red Bull United States Grand Prix, features the MotoGP World Championships.
VITEC provided an end-to-end IPTV video system that displays pristine High Definition H.264 video with a very low latency, live to Monitors throughout the track. The solution was comprised of its modular system with two types of encoding and streaming platforms; the MGW1100, a True Carrier grade encoding system, and the solid state MGW Premium encoders. Digital video stream management and viewer experience are controlled through the award winning EZ TV platform.
“This outdoor event poses some challenges with high performance Superbikes racing at well over 100 mph with quick movements and dramatic changes in video,” stated Michael Chorpash, Vice President of Sales at VITEC. “The solid state MPEG encoders were built to operate in any environment with ultra-low latency. Our IPTV solution was able to dramatically improve the video quality of the track’s current video system allowing the fine detail of the race to be seen in High Definition digital video while taking advantage of the many features our IPTV system provides.”
