ibc products T-Vips shows management solution OSLO, NORWAY — T-Vips was at IBC with a new video- centric network management solu- tion. Connect5 allows users to eas- ily monitor and con- trol multiple video network infrastruc- tures. The compa- ny's expertise in IP and video transport technologies helped create Connect5.
