We’ve teamed up with Azzurro, New York’s first all-digital, HD-enabled video switching hub, to provide top quality HD video connectivity for broadcasters, network operators, production facilities and sports rights holders.

“We chose the TVG430 as it provides excellent usability plus the high-quality and reliable bi-directional video transport we need. Additionally, because it’s produced by T-VIPS, the pioneers and market leaders in JPEG2000 solutions for the broadcast industry, we have confidence that we have the best possible solution on the market,” says Mark Lowden, VP of Sales, Azzurro HD.

As broadcasters need more and more HD video to stand out from the competition, the Azzurro HD service provides broadcasters with a flexible and powerful service to cost-effectively switch and transport HD video. We’re so pleased that Azzurro, a company that really understands HD, chose our TVG430 Video Gateways to obtain a competitive edge and to provide customers with the best possible HD video quality.

The partnership works so well because it’s in the DNA of both Azzurro and T-VIPS to provide customers with high-quality video services that are powerful yet simple to use and answer real business needs. The T-VIPS enabled Azzurro HD service continues to gain momentum, with recent contract wins including Renaissance Capital, ION Media Network and Vista/WWE.

Visitors to NAB 2010 in Las Vegas saw some excellent demonstrations of the Azzurro HD and AzzurroCam services on the Azzurro booth (N615) as well as the entire Video Gateway range on the T-VIPS booth.
