Instant Head-End

LightWay’s Instant Head-End is a virtually wireless solution to your remote head-end requirements. Get your content from your studio to your town’s head-end without expensive cabling and cable-company interaction. You can also use Instant Head-End to broadcast from a remote location shoot instead of the typical ENG truck.

Features and Benefits

Traditional long distance cabling costs thousands and yield poor quality. By going digital, you will increase video quality and bypass the expensive costs of conventional head-end solutions.

How it Works

The video content being filmed is fed into a LightWay Stream Broadcaster and, over the Internet, pushed directly to your head-end, where another LightWay Broadcaster is housed. The second device plays back the content, which is shown on your channel.

Hardware

Instant Head-End requires two pieces of hardware: one machine at the studio or origin of content end and another at the broadcast end.
