TVU One Powers Record-Breaking Ten-City New Year’s Broadcast for Bilibili
China's Premier Video Platform Trusts TVU technology for Mission-Critical Multi-City New Year's Gala

Bilibili, China’s equivalent to YouTube in terms of cultural influence and reach, commands the nation’s Gen Z audience with its distinctive focus on anime, gaming, and youth culture. This year’s centerpiece: simultaneous “New Year’s Toast Night” celebrations across ten cities nationwide, creating an immersive hybrid experience that united millions in one massive, synchronized celebration.
Executing this ambitious vision presented formidable technical obstacles. The satellite venues spanned vastly different environments—from packed urban squares to open beaches—where traditional broadcast equipment proved impractical. More critically, New Year’s Eve represents peak network congestion. Massive crowds simultaneously accessing mobile networks threatened transmission stability precisely when hundreds of millions of viewers demanded flawless quality. For a platform holding YouTube-level significance in China’s digital landscape, any delay, stuttering, or interruption would compromise broadcast integrity and disappoint a massive national audience.
The production team deployed TVU One live backpacks at nine satellite venues, ensuring real-time, broadcast-quality transmission from diverse locations to the central production hub. These compact, portable devices enabled single-operator deployment while delivering the reliability demanded by a premier national broadcasting event on China’s leading video platform.
TVU One’s competitive advantage lies in its patented IS+ (Inverse StatMux) multi-network aggregation technology. The system simultaneously harnesses multiple 4G/5G networks, Wi-Fi, and wired connections, intelligently distributing video data across all available links. This redundancy eliminates single-network failure risks—critical during New Year’s Eve network congestion. Furthermore, HEVC intelligent variable bitrate encoding dynamically optimizes transmission quality based on real-time bandwidth, maintaining frame continuity and clarity even under constrained conditions.
The results validated the technology decisively. All satellite venue signals remained consistently clear and stable throughout the broadcast. Seamless technical integration enabled spectacular moments: virtual online fireworks synchronized with real offline displays, and real-time multi-city celebration footage woven together naturally. The technology didn’t just ensure reliable transmission—it elevated viewer experience, allowing audiences across different cities to share an authentic, unified New Year’s moment.
This ten-city coordination demonstrates TVU One’s capability for high-quality, high-reliability transmission in complex, demanding scenarios. As media formats evolve and audience interaction expectations rise, TVU continues advancing solutions that empower major broadcasters—whether YouTube-scale platforms or traditional networks—to deliver richer, more immersive experiences across any distance or environment.
