TVU RPS platform opens a new path to super slo-mo for more collegiate sports while serving as a resilient backup to fiber and an early-venue connectivity solution
CUPERTINO, Calif., April 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- TVU Networks today announced that Big Ten Network (BTN) is using the TVU Remote Production System (RPS) platform to bring super slow-motion replay to a broader range of collegiate sports—extending the capability beyond football and basketball to events like baseball, soccer, and volleyball. BTN has also expanded the role of TVU RPS Link encoders in its field production trucks, using them as a hot backup to fiber-based workflows and as an early access network that provides connectivity before venue fiber is even activated.
