Cupertino, CA, Jan 13, 2025 – NET25, a major digital television network in the Philippines, partnered with Northview Solutions to deploy TVU Networks Solutions to revolutionize their 2025 New Year’s Eve broadcast from the Philippine Arena. By implementing TVU Grid’s IP-based transmission solution, NET25 achieved unprecedented cost savings while delivering high-quality live coverage to millions of viewers.
As a pioneer in Philippine broadcasting since 1999, NET25 faced mounting pressure to modernize its infrastructure while managing costs. The New Year’s Eve broadcast from the Philippine Arena in Bocaue, Bulacan – Asia’s largest indoor arena with a capacity of 55,000 spectators – presented unique technical challenges, including the need for real-time transmission of broadcast-quality signals, complex multi-camera production requirements, high costs associated with traditional satellite and dedicated line systems, and technical staff adaptation to new systems.
NET25 deployed TVU Grid’s IP routing and distribution system as their core technology solution, featuring advanced point-to-point and point-to-multipoint distribution, frame-accurate switching technology, real-time SDI signal transmission over standard internet, and an intuitive user interface for rapid staff adoption.
The implementation delivered immediate and measurable benefits across multiple areas. Financially, it eliminated costly satellite and dedicated line equipment, reduced transmission infrastructure costs, and minimized technical training requirements. On the technical front, the system maintained sub-second latency, delivered broadcast-grade signal quality, and enabled seamless multi-point distribution. Operationally, the solution simplified technical workflows, improved broadcast efficiency, and enhanced production flexibility.
The successful implementation has positioned NET25 for future growth, with scalable architecture supporting expansion, IP-based infrastructure enabling cross-regional collaboration, and enhanced capability for large-scale event broadcasts. The network can now leverage unlimited node distribution without requiring additional conversion equipment for multi-point signal distribution, while maintaining transmission quality with latency under one second.
With TVU Networks’ cutting-edge IP transmission technology, NET25 has not only transformed its broadcast capabilities but also set new industry standards in the Philippines. The successful New Year’s Eve broadcast demonstrates how TVU’s solutions are enabling traditional broadcasters to achieve cost-effective digital transformation while maintaining the highest quality standards that viewers expect. This technological leap marks the beginning of a new era in Philippine broadcasting, where innovative IP-based solutions unlock unprecedented possibilities for content delivery and audience engagement.
