T-VIPS announced that the European Broadcast Union (EBU) has deployed T-VIPS CP541 Seamless Monitoring Switches to provide error-free transmission of Winter Olympic footage to EBU members. Eurovision, the EBU’s Operation Unit, manages the contribution links between the Whistler winter Olympic facilities, the Vancouver International Broadcasting Center (IBC) and onward to Brussels, Zurich and Geneva POPs.
After extensive testing ahead of the event, the EBU installed a number of CP541 Seamless Monitoring Switches at the reception points at the Vancouver IBC, Brussels, Geneva and Zurich. Moreover, the CP541s are managed and controlled by the Eurovision team in Vancouver and Geneva using a T-VIPS Connect Management system, a powerful and user friendly management application. The CP541 monitors the two incoming Transport Streams for any errors based on TRT101-290 parameters, and in the event of an error in the main backhaul line it seamlessly switches to the back-up connection. The system went live two weeks before the games started and has demonstrated high reliability from that point onward.
