How Porcel TV Made Broadcast History – From Scratch to Streaming Icon

June 2, 2025

When a group of passionate creatives and media veterans decided to launch a new king of digital channel in Chile, few could have predicted how quickly Porcel TV would shake up the national broadcast scene. Blending a unique mix of social satire, cultural commentary, and charismatic on-air personalities, Porcel TV set out to entertain and challenge the status quo.

Within just two months of launching on YouTube, their vision was vindicated, becoming Chile’s 5th most-watched streaming platforms. But what truly made headlines was the channel’s daring feat, shattering a world record by streaming continuously for 100 hours – a world record for the country. This technical accomplishment was achieved with a lean team, bold storytelling, and hardware they could rely on.

This achievement was also made possible thanks to DUO, AIDA’s trusted distributor in Chile, who provided Porcel TV with the essential camera systems and local support that helped bring their groundbreaking broadcast to life.

The Challenge

The idea of broadcasting live for 100 hours straight wasn’t just ambitious; it was risky. The Porcel TV team had little to no room for error. Any hardware failure, latency breakdown, or technical hiccup could have failed. The Porcel TV team faced three critical challenges:

Survivability under pressure

The stream couldn’t stop. With a continuous broadcast of up to 100 hours, they needed equipment that could run for days without faltering or overheating.

Remote command and control

The production space was compact, and operators needed to control, adjust, and finesse camera angles in real time without interrupting the show. The camera choice was simple: advanced PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras were used to facilitate seamless repositioning and remote control capabilities.

Broadcast quality over IP

As a YouTube-first platform, Porcel TV needed a low-latency, high-quality video workflow solution that could integrate within its software-based infrastructure. It adopted an NDI® (Network Device Interface)- based infrastructure that enabled the network to maintain remarkably low latency while delivering exceptional broadcast quality.

AIDA’s Tech Meets Porcel TV’s Grit

To meet these demands, the distributor recommended a solution centered around the AIDA PTZ-NDI-X20 camera, known for its compact form factor, exceptional 20X optical zoom, and reliable streaming performance over IP. Coupled with the CCU-IP camera controller, this setup became the silent hero of the entire broadcast. With NDI support, remote VISCA over IP control, and full-HD quality, AIDA’s PTZ system gave Porcel TV flexibility and peace of mind.

This setup allowed them to:

Set up quickly and cleanly with minimal cabling

NDI integrates easily into existing workflows. It allows for quick setup and configuration, so users can transmit high-quality footage without needing extra hardware. The cabling solutions are simple, and the rigging setups are designed for efficiency. These features reduce clutter, improve organization, and create a more productive workspace in a studio environment.

Make real-time camera adjustments without touching the gear

Managing multiple camera systems from a central control hub improved the team’s operational efficiency. They could make real-time adjustments and monitor everything from one location. Using VISCA over IP allowed them to modify camera settings quickly – an important factor when dealing with live broadcasts

Deliver sharp, smooth visuals for 100 straight hours

1080p streaming offers exceptional clarity and fluidity, perfect for capturing high-motion, unscripted content such as live sports events, video games streaming, or dynamic performances. Every detail is sharp at 60 frames per second, and fast movements are smooth. HD streaming provides an immersive viewing experience for audiences.

Roberto Muñoz, a key figure in the production, said, “We needed gear that wouldn’t let us down. AIDA gave us the confidence to go big with our first major push, which paid off.”

The Broadcast: 100 Hours of Pressure, Passion, and Precision

The 100-hour world record livestream wasn’t just a broadcast but a marathon. As producers rotated shifts, talent stayed on-air, and internet traffic surged. The studio setup became the unsung workhorse. The AIDA cameras delivered reliable performance hour after hour, enabling the Procel TV team to focus on the content, not the tech.

Midway through the stream, the team could reframe and balance shots instantly from the CCU-IP without missing a beat when lighting adjustments were needed. Every frame captured was smooth, every camera move was intentional, and every viewer stayed connected. By the end, Porcel TV didn’t just set a new world record; they set a new bar for what small teams with big dreams could achieve in Latin America’s media ecosystem.

The use of AIDA cameras enabled the production team to focus more on storytelling and less on technical troubleshooting, a significant benefit for a content-first brand.

The Results: A Story That Went National
