Inverse StatMux Plus (IS+) – Cellular Bonding vs. IS+ In the past, other mobile uplink solutions have attempted to tackle the bandwidth problem by using bonding The problem? With bonding, all transmission channels are bonded prior to the start of the video transmission and a fixed FEC is selected for error correction This approach provides no flexibility and makes the system unable to deal with the constant changes in a moving environment, such as: • Bit rate • Packet loss rate • Latency End result? The inability of low-end systems to transmit a full HD signal at sub-second latency in a real-world moving environment TVU One Confiden'al; Property of TVU Networks TVU One The Result of Five Generations of Mobile Uplink Innovation The award-winning TVU One provides industry-leading performance, dependable HD video picture quality and under one-second latency in a much smaller and lightweight form factor • Most powerful compact, lightweight IP video transmitter available • Offers same performance as our previous model, TVUPack - but in a smaller size • Offers same ease of use and one-button operation with new touch screen controls •
