IBC2025 Introduces New StudioEdge Product Line by QuickLink
In the ever-evolving world of broadcasting, the need for reliable and high-quality remote guest integration solutions has become paramount. With Skype set to reach its end-of-life, QuickLink, a leading provider of broadcast-quality video contribution solutions, has stepped up to the plate with its new offerings - the StudioEdge-1 and StudioEdge-2.
QuickLink has launched these advanced hardware/software solutions, designed to seamlessly integrate high-quality remote guest video into studios and broadcast environments. The new products are set to be a future-proof, reliable replacement for older workflows that depended on Skype or less reliable consumer-grade services.
The StudioEdge-1 is tailored for single remote guest contribution, while the StudioEdge-2 supports dual remote guest feeds simultaneously, expanding flexibility for studios needing multiple remote contributors or interviewees in live or recorded productions. Both models offer broadcast-quality remote guest integration over various IP networks, ensuring a smooth remote collaboration experience.
QuickLink's new offerings support standards-based codecs and protocols, such as SRT, Zixi, or proprietary QuickLink technology. This flexibility allows remote guests with diverse bandwidth capacities and hardware setups to connect seamlessly to production studios.
In a statement, Richard Rees, CEO of QuickLink, said, "Expanding the StudioEdge line was a necessary step to fill a market need for one-channel and two-channel options." He further added, "We are committed to providing solutions that meet the evolving needs of our customers and the industry."
For those looking to transition from Skype, QuickLink's StudioEdge-1 and StudioEdge-2 provide a natural upgrade from discontinued products like the NewTek TalkShow (Vizrt TalkShow), Riedel STX-200, and QuickLink TX. These new products can also be seamlessly integrated into existing Skype TX workflows.
Moreover, the StudioEdge line is optimized with ground-breaking AI technology, ensuring continued connectivity and high-quality video contribution from remote participants.
As we approach IBC2025, QuickLink will showcase the complete Studio Edge line, including the new models, at Booth 7.B51, from September 12-15 at the RAI Amsterdam. For those seeking a reliable and high-quality solution for remote guest integration, the StudioEdge-1 and StudioEdge-2 are worth a closer look.
