Bringing an outside guest or commentator into a live TV program should be simple. In practice, it is often a challenge: unstable connections, poor audio quality, or complicated setup steps that create stress for both guest and production team.
up2talk was designed to solve this. Built on broadcast standards and refined through close collaboration with broadcasters, it offers a barrier-free way to connect external voices with studio-level quality.
The Challenge
A leading live sports production needed to seamlessly integrate remote commentators and experts into their broadcast. The requirements were clear:
-
Moderator must be able to join with a single browser link, no software installation, no training.
-
The live TV program should be streamed back to the guest in real time, ensuring their commentary is perfectly aligned.
-
Audio and video must meet the reliability and quality expectations of broadcast production.
Our Solution with up2talk
-
Simple Guest Access: One link, one browser, guests join instantly via WebRTC.
-
Program Feed Return: The ongoing program is streamed back into the guest’s browser, keeping them in sync with the live broadcast.
-
High-Quality Transport: Audio and video are transmitted via SRT in H.264/AAC, ensuring robust performance across networks.
-
Talkback Channel: A dedicated push-to-command path allows direct coordination between the guest and the production control room.
The Result
Remote commentators and experts are brought into the production with clarity and reliability. The audience experiences a seamless broadcast, while production teams gain confidence and efficiency in handling external voices.
