Nothin' But Net: Campus Network Helps Provide Video Feeds to WEIU-TV For Panther Athletics

Eastern’s campus network makes it possible for staff to do their daily work, faculty to teach classes and students to learn. But now it also makes it possible for television viewers in Illinois to watch Panther basketball and football games. The same network on which the university’s desktop computers, servers and printers operate is now being used to transmit voice and video from Lantz Arena and O’Brien Stadium back to WEIU studios in Buzzard Hall for university athletics television broadcasts. The campus network connection provides greater convenience than the coaxial cable/ microwave truck transmission method used in the past while maintaining picture quality.
“We wanted to come up with a system that would work no matter where we were at on campus, and IP (Internet protocol) is the best way of doing that,” said WEIU-TV broadcast engineer Jerry Rankin. “It gives us a lot more flexibility.”
