Hubbard Elects IP Tech for '16

摘要

One example of how smaller, much lighter IP-newsgath-ering technologies are likely to transform 2016 election coverage can be found at Hubbard Broadcasting, which is currently testing LiveU's LU200 unit to deliver IP video from cameras back over cellular networks. Ed Smith, director of engineering at Hubbard Broadcasting, notes that when he first arrived at the company's KSTP ABC affiliate in the Twin Cities in 2012, it was already leasing one of the LiveU units. "Everyone was interested in the technology because our traditional live trucks were expensive to operate and all of them needed upgrades and modification," Smith recalls.
