The unique architecture means users can define point-to-multipoint networks, allowing content to be delivered across rich remote collaborative workflows, in precisely aligned real time.
“JACKSHOOT LINK is ahead of the curve in providing flexibility as well as quality,” said Simon Haywood, Founder and CTO of JACKSHOOT. “Anything from a single SDI point-to-point feed – at insanely low latency – to dozens of HDR remote camera feeds and complex audio: we have it covered.
“We can upscale and downscale instantly to project demands, and you only pay for what you use,” he added. “And the best part is that we can see every single packet of data as it crosses the network, on its diverse and dynamic path, so we know our feeds are secure and stable. Use anything else and you are hoping for the best.”
JACKSHOOT LINK is the problem-solver for broadcasters, brands, sports federations and media agencies: anyone with creative opportunities and the need to capture and distribute content. Rights-holders can step into new revenue streams, while established broadcasters can transform remote workflows with ease.

By GlobalDataTim Wood, technical manager for BBC Studioworks, explained “Seeing how JACKSHOOT can connect video feeds to and from our studio facilities is extremely exciting. It enables us, and our clients, to offer the highest quality video links and live broadcasts, across any number of locations without the need for satellite trucks or expensive fibre.
“To have technology this flexible and reliable on tap is incredible. It’s not just JACKSHOOT’s technical solutions, but also their decades of experience in moving video over IP, coupled with their high-quality standards that make for a brilliant combination. Now we have these rigorously tested facilities in-house, it opens up so many new possibilities to leverage our existing studio facilities and the building’s incredible heritage to provide cutting-edge brand events, broadcast and content productions.”
The ability to set up low latency, high quality links on demand is ideal in high pressure environments like news and sport. Remote contributors can join via standard internet paths as required. JACKSHOOT LINK includes a communications panel, providing all the necessary means of briefing and managing contributors as well as the on-air link.
“The agility and scalability of JACKSHOOT LINK delivers a ton more for clients’ budgets,” said Haywood. “It’s perfect for those for whom fibre is too expensive or impractical; those tired of satellite trucks blowing their sustainability credentials; and those weary of contracting multiple transmission suppliers and who want a simple, one-click, quality assured service.”
