 based on the NDI workflow.
Called the NDI OBV, the EV truck was jointly developed with YouKu, an Alibaba Group company and one of China's top online video/streaming platforms. Both companies have successfully developed systems for live video broadcasting and remote production, and the NDI OBV is the culmination of four years of collaboration.
Kiloview has brought extensive experience in the NDI ecosystem from video encoding/decoding, transmission, routing, monitoring, recording and even content management to the development of this OB van. As a result, the NDI OBV is a major step forward in OB van design. With 20 channels of 4K video or 70 channels of HD video connected over a single Ethernet cable, IP connectivity allows cable optimization inside the truck, saving significant space and weight.
NDI OBV pioneers the introduction of native IP production into high-profile big-screen TV shows. It's a low-cost, proven NDI video transport solution that allows a whole new class of content creators to expand their live production flow. OBV is loaded with solutions that are widely used in the market and integrated into the Kiloview ecosystem.
