TAG Video Systems has announced that its MCM-9000 monitoring and multiviewer platform is being used in the ground-breaking 5G-VIRTUOSA project. Funded by the European Union’s (EU) Horizon 2020 initiative and driven by a consortium of international industry leaders, 5G-VIRTUOSA’s mission is to explore the potential of distributed IP production and how future technologies such as 5G and virtualization can provide further capability and flexibility in live production environments.
