“It scientifically doesn’t make sense…how they (VideoShip) are able to get it up into the cloud as fast as they do. This is ABSOLUTELY a game-changer from our end. As action happens and our EVS’s are clipping we go straight to the cloud…No hardware on-site”

WAFB-TV

“Hurricanes forced two sister stations to evacuate their studios.  Before abandoning their buildings in the wild winds and rains, they connected their Live Link to Baton Rouge and routed it to their air. My station then pushed updated weather and evacuation information to their markets until their personnel could move into our building’s Digital Studio and resume broadcasting.  Thanks to our Live Link network, their audiences never lost life-saving information when they needed it most.”

– Robert Chandler, News Operations, WAFB-TV / Gray Television
