JVC Professional Video's CONNECTED CAM to Help Provide Better Streaming Solutions

JVC Professional Video has extended its commitment to offer the video production industry with high-quality streaming solutions.

FREMONT, CA: JVC Professional Video is a part of JVCKENWOOD USA Corporation. It has extended its commitment to offer the video production industry with the top-most-quality streaming solutions in a comprehensive, plug-and-play package with its new CONNECTED CAM firmware update. By utilizing the open-source Secure Reliable Transport (SRT)technology, JVC has also added Forward Error Correction (FEC) and Stream Identifier (ID)to its 500 Series and 900 Series CONNECTED CAM devices. The latest firmware reinforces JVC's position in the industry as the prominent provider of high-quality end-to-end streaming capable camera solutions.

FEC's addition to JVC's CONNECTED CAM will allow users to recover lost data.

The organization has also integrated VITC (vertical interval time code) and LTC (longitudinal time code) functions with the new update. These functions are essential during a live production and coordinated streaming of live events, like concerts, sports, ceremonies, and conferences.

It is an easy to use streaming solution that can maintain a wide range of budgets. The system's cross-compatibility among brands also means that utilizers can combine the new streaming video abilities with the present streaming studio equipment.
