New Features Added to Haivision’s 5G Contribution Solutions

In case you missed the announcement at this year’s IBC show in Amsterdam, Haivision just added significant enhancements to our 5G remote production solutions. Continue reading to find out how the latest versions of our mobile video encoders, transmitters, and receivers now support pristine-quality, ultra-low latency mobile contribution in 4K and HDR for live broadcast workflows. 

But first, a recap about our 5G solutions.  

You may remember that Haivision acquired Aviwest earlier this year, and we’ve now officially united all our contribution solutions under the Haivision brand. Designed to meet the needs of broadcasters deploying video contribution workflows over mobile and IP networks for remote production applications, Haivision’s 5G solutions are ideally suited for live, multi-camera, and on-the-go productions.

Highest Quality Broadcasts with Maximum Reliability at the Lowest Latency

Our steadfast commitment to ensuring customers unlock the benefits that 5G has to offer for live event broadcasting has led to solutions that now offer pristine-quality video with up to 4K UHD with end-to-end latency across mobile networks as low as 200ms.  

New features added to the Haivision Pro4 and Haivision Rack4 mobile video encoders and transmitters include:

• 4:2:2 chroma subsampling for improved color accuracy.  
• 10-bit color for Wide Color Gamut (WCG) and High Dynamic Range (HDR) pristine-quality video.  
• Support for Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) outputs, providing more flexibility to adapt to different types of workflows over mobile, IP, and aggregated networks. 

Additionally, enhancements to Haivision StreamHub, the advanced mobile video receiver used to receive, decode, and distribute live video streams, include:  

• 4:2:2 chroma subsampling for improved color accuracy.  
• 10-bit color for WCG and HDR pristine-quality video.  
• SMPTE ST 2110 outputs up to 2×25 Gbps for full interoperability with IP-based broadcast facilities.  
• Support for time code ancillary data across SST, SRT, SDI, NDI, and HLS inputs and outputs to keep video streams in sync, from contribution through to live production.
