Debuting at IBC 2025, TVU MediaMesh platform empowers any authorized tool or team to seamlessly access and contribute to live signals
CUPERTINO, Calif., Sept. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- TVU Networks, the leader in cloud-native live video with 20 years of powering news, sports, and streaming productions, today launched its most transformative platform yet: TVU MediaMesh™, redefining how live content is accessed and produced in the cloud.
For decades, live production, whether on-site or remote, has long been limited by fixed, physical infrastructure, dedicated equipment, and rigid routing that limits scale and flexibility. While the cloud promised to break these barriers, today only about 1% of live productions have fully migrated, with adoption hindered by the complexity of connecting sources, routing signals, and integrating diverse applications.
TVU MediaMesh removes those barriers by introducing global shared memory for live video—dramatically simplifying signal connectivity and slashing configuration time.
"MediaMesh removes the biggest obstacle to cloud adoption by making live signals instantly accessible anywhere, as easily as opening a shared file," said Mike Cronk, VP of Strategy at TVU Networks. "It gives teams the freedom to produce from anywhere, using the tools they want without worrying about the back end."
As the foundation that powers TVU's award-winning SaaS applications for the world's largest live events—from routing and AI indexing to production and playout—MediaMesh now opens its APIs, enabling customers and partners to build, innovate, and shape the future of live production.
Industry Leaders Are Already Building on It
TVU's customer-led, partner-centric approach is already resonating across the industry:
"By integrating Grass Valley AMPP with TVU MediaMesh, we're giving our customers the seamless workflows they've been asking for across our best-of-breed solutions," said Adam Marshall, CPO at Grass Valley. "AMPP users can now connect to sources from multiple vendors, including TVU's cellular backpacks, without the usual integration complexity. This deepens the collaboration our customers have been calling for."
"The future of live production depends on collaboration, not closed ecosystems," said Paul Shen, CEO of TVU Networks. "By opening our platform through MediaMesh, we're giving broadcasters, developers, and partners the freedom to innovate faster—together."
Open. Collaborative. Available Now.
TVU MediaMesh is available today, including on the AWS Marketplace, enabling customers to deploy instantly. Whether building the next generation of live apps, running remote production, or uniting multiple vendors into one workflow, MediaMesh provides the infrastructure to move faster and maximize existing resources.
To guide the platform's evolution, TVU has formed a MediaMesh Advisory Board (MAB), bringing together leaders from seven major media companies and five partner organizations including Chyron, EVS, Grass Valley, Solid State Logic and Vizrt. The MAB will meet quarterly starting on September 3rd to provide feedback and ensure MediaMesh reflects real-world needs.
At IBC 2025 (Hall 7, B.55), TVU will showcase integrations from select MAB members, as well as Mediatest, Eluvio, Pixelstorm, and MXL interoperability demos with Grass Valley, Riedel, Matrox, and AWS. Join these, and MediaMesh development partners including In-Sync, Telos Alliance, On-Hertz, Spectatr.ai, Vela, Camba.i, and Kinetiq and start building with MediaMesh at https://www.tvunetworks.com/tvu-developer.

TVU Networks Unveils TVU MediaMesh™: A Global Shared Memory for Live Video
The Initiative Aims to Address the Pain Points of Family Filmmaking
BEIJING, Dec. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- On December 6th, the 3rd FamilyLens International Film Festival opened in Beijing. SmallRig, a global specialized provider of imaging solutions, collaborating with FamilyLens, is empowering family filmmaking through various initiatives, including the Family Filmmaking Co-Creation Initiative, a dedicated family filmmaking kit, and a social impact screening program.
Deepening the "Co-Creation Initiatives"
The Co-Creation Initiatives are a series of global creative initiatives open to filmmakers and image creators worldwide. Through deep collaboration across multiple dimensions — including product co-creation, discovery and promotion, and content co-creation — SmallRig aims to expand the boundaries of mobile filmmaking and bring the spirit of Free Your Dream to life with creators everywhere.
Following the launch of the Mobile Filmmaking Co-Creation Initiative at the 14th International Smartphone Film Festival, SmallRig announced the launch of the Family Filmmaking Co-Creation Initiative on December 6th at the 3rd FamilyLens International Film Festival. The initiative invites global creators and every family to participate, focusing on three core directions: product co-creation, work promotion, and content co-creation, to explore the possibilities of family filmmaking for everyone.
Mr. Zhou Yang, Founder and CEO of SmallRig, shared the inspiration for the initiative: "The initiative is rooted in the immense universality and profound emotional depth inherent in family narratives, which serve as a common emotional bond connecting global audiences. We firmly believe that in this era, where everyone can be a content creator, every family can and should film their own story. The instinct to create is deeply embedded in the human spirit, and every home is the origin of countless narratives."
Gu Xue, Founder and Director of the FamilyLens International Film Festival, stated: "We hope that people and practitioners around the world who care about family movies can find suitable solutions and gain insights from the Co-Creation Initiatives. We look forward to more and more people exploring the field of 'Home' together through this initiative."
To address the pain points of family filmmaking, SmallRig officially released the SmallRig Family Filmmaking Kit at the opening ceremony. The kit includes a high-quality microphone, fill light, and a portable tripod, specifically designed to achieve "professional function democratization" and "complex feature simplification." During the FamilyLens Workshop, attendees experienced the convenience of the equipment firsthand. Many expressed that the kit truly solves many problems, enabling ordinary families to complete necessary filming without specialized photography knowledge.
Social Impact Screening Program
The 3rd FamilyLens International Film Festival is open to the public from December 6th to 14th. The festival opened with the screening of well-received documentary: K-Family Affairs. In addition to the competition section, the festival features several distinctive sections, including the Reframing Home Movies— An Italian Retrospective, Youth Film Program, Filmmaker in Focus, and the Social Impact Program. Four major awards, such as the Real-Life Portrait Award and the Artistic Exploration Award, will also be presented.
As a key component of the Co-Creation Initiatives, the SmallRig Image Development Fund partnered with the FamilyLens International Film Festival to curate the "Social Impact Screening Program." This unit focuses on elevating awareness of critical issues within the family unit, advocating for a new reflection: "Starting with Seeing, Concluding with Understanding."
Arum Nam, Director of K-Family Affairs, stated:
"Starting with the stories of your family, your friends, and yourself, I believe this personal narrative can connect directly to the bigger society."
SmallRig believes that truly meaningful social impact storytelling stems from awareness in proximity—achieved by using the lens to penetrate the daily surface and enabling a deep, empathetic "Seeing with Empathy."
The four featured works in this unit are:
- People of the Ascent
- Granny's Lost and Found
- Ruixi at Fourteen
- No Country For My Maternal Grandma
These films highlight four family issues that require "seeing": the yearning of left-behind children, the mental isolation of Alzheimer's patients, the elderly searching for subjectivity in their drifting lives, and the emotional volatility and struggle of Bipolar Disorder.
Strategic Outlook and Future Expansion
SmallRig will continue to support the Family Filmmaking Co-Creation Initiative's deep development through promotional campaigns and practical workshops focused on family movie scenarios.
The overall goal of SmallRig's Global Co-creation Initiative is to continuously explore and meet the growing, diverse needs of global creators across different vertical domains. SmallRig is committed to persistently expanding the co-creation model into more imaging sectors, collaborating with industry partners to push the boundaries of imaging and grant global creators broader creative freedom.
