In 2023, AI-driven use grew in regularity and frequency, remote production applications continued to be relied upon for coverage, and 5G use for video transmission reached a milestone.
These were the key trends identified by TVU Networks, which analysed usage data across thousands of users of its products.
In 2022, video ingest saw a significant leap as compared to the prior year based on usage metrics from AI-based TVU Search across news, entertainment and sporting events. Not only has usage continued in 2023, but the number of daily interactions associated with TVU Search increased dramatically by 1200% over the 12-month period.
TVU Search is a cloud-native application that provides live video content ingest and discovery. It features content search capabilities based on advanced AI algorithms and automation, allowing users to locate live or archival feeds or clips for immediate playout, download, or distribution.
Paul Shen, CEO, TVU Networks, said, “The robust daily use of TVU Search suggests that the use of AI for rapid content identification and clipping is becoming more commonplace for everyday use such as for story creation.
“We introduced TVU Search with AI a few years ago based on our customers needing a faster, easier, and more efficient way of locating relevant content for coverage. It’s now an integral part of the cloud-based TVU ecosystem for live production.”
Tools designed for remote production also continued to be popular for broadcast enterprises in 2023. TVU’s cloud-based ecosystem for video coverage of news, events, and other live applications saw a rise in overall use including for content acquisition and production compared to 2022.
“We have seen a strong trend of broadcasters transitioning to cloud-based remote production workflows which started a few years ago, and it continued throughout 2023,” said Shen.
“With viewer media consumption habits constantly changing, the need for scalable, cost-effective, fast deployment, and easy-to-use tools is at the top of everyone’s media supply chain wish list going into 2024.”
