Case Study: RBB achieves simpler, more reliable IP video distribution with VITEC

RBB delivers 5 HD streams over 1 SRT connection with VITEC

RBB, a German public broadcaster and member of the ARD network, faced challenges with its expensive and complex legacy systems for video contribution and distribution. Seeking a more efficient and cost-effective solution, RBB needed to adopt the Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) protocol over IP to streamline its operations and provide content to cable providers. VITEC provided a solution centered on its MGW Diamond Encoder, MGW Ace Decoders, and the ChannelLink IP distribution gateway.

VITEC's IP video solution established a central routing hub in Berlin, enabling RBB to seamlessly stream multiple HD videos over a single SRT connection. The implementation was smooth, with the products performing well immediately. This resulted in a faster, more stable, and easier-to-configure broadcast infrastructure, significantly improving RBB's sports distribution. VITEC's solution provided excellent value and service, leading RBB to plan future expansions with more VITEC equipment.
