Overview

LTN Flex is a broadcast-quality, centralized remote production service that ingests live audio and video sources from any location, backhauls them over the LTN network to a centralized production facility, and delivers finished programming to linear and digital destinations. Flex reduces on-site footprint and costs, streamlines scheduling, and integrates with cloud-enabled workflows and other LTN ecosystem services to scale productions for sports, news, and entertainment.
