MOUNT LAUREL, NJ — (Marketwire) — 12/03/12 — (OTCQB: TEVE), the innovation leader in Television and Internet Broadcasting for communities, cable operators, and media companies has launched the latest HD/SD Simulcast System in conjunction with WBMA-TV, the government access TV station for the town of Bloomfield, NJ.
WBMA-TV becomes a pioneer in the world of Public, Educational, and Government (PEG) broadcasting by making its channel available 24×7 to viewers in full HD quality video on the Internet while maintaining its standard definition (SD) simulcast channel for cable distribution. By implementing TelVue-s HD/SD Simulcast, WBMA-TV can now be viewed in HD on any device that can access an Internet stream.
“So many PEG stations are already shooting and editing in HD and it-s been a point of frustration for the stations and their viewers that these channels are not available in HD. TelVue-s HD/SD Simulcast System finally gives PEG stations a cost-effective way to show off their channels in High-Definition,” explains Jesse Lerman, President and CEO of TelVue Corporation. “Broadband Internet adoption has reached the point where every community TV station can launch a 24×7 HD channel using the Internet, adding even more value to the service they provide.”
Bob Duthaler, Executive Director of WBMA-TV, says, “A lot of people are impressed with the upgrade and love the HD viewing. We already shoot all of our programming in HD. It-s nice to see the product out there in the format it was meant to be viewed in.”
The HD/SD Simulcast System makes WBMA-TV-s live, linear, and VOD signals available in HD on all devices, ranging from the large-screen TV to PCs, tablets, and smartphones. The system combines the best features of both IP and SDI workflows, and supports standard MPEG-2 and modern H.264 codecs. Broadcast to multiple devices is made possible through the use of TelVue CloudCast, a cloud-hosted broadcast service for Internet video.
WBMA-TV programming covers all aspects of community life: from government, to sports, cultural events, and news.
