swXtch.io And Telos Alliance Collaborate For Low-Latency Broadcast Intercom In The Cloud
swXtch.io has joined forces with Telos Alliance to enable scalable broadcast intercom in the cloud at very low latency, providing broadcasters with the same features, functionality and mission-critical performance they use within their on-prem environments.
swXtch.io’s cloudSwXtch intelligent media network will provide the multicast connectivity and elasticity required to provide clear, real-time communications across multiple teams and locations in support of today’s largest global live productions.
The first live deployment of the technical collaboration took place this summer for a major sports event. cloudSwXtch provided the gateway to help live production teams from a major global broadcaster and a regional sports network use Telos Infinity VIP’s virtual intercom platform from anywhere on the planet. Telos Infinity VIP eliminates the traditional intercom matrix, bringing live voice and contribution audio into the IT backbone without concerns of exceeding the number of available ports. Its networked architecture allows broadcasters and content producers to recreate a multipoint on-prem intercom configuration within a virtual environment.
cloudSwXtch simplifies the connectivity of Telos Infinity VIP software panels from Europe, North America and elsewhere with the physical on-prem communications system, while essentially eliminating any delays on live voice communications. The expanse of the virtual panel architecture will also allow production teams to better support multi-language broadcasts, which will include 22 languages throughout Europe.
