Dejero has released satellite integration for its LIVE+ NewsBook broadcaster software for Mac notebooks.



LIVE+ NewsBook transforms a Mac notebook into a video uplink solution. The update enables users to bond portable broadband global area network (BGAN) terminals to produce a live stream greater than 1Mbps of video. With the BGAN-HDR bonding feature, users can now send live video feeds, as well as recorded and edited files, back to the broadcast facility by connecting multiple Explorer-710 terminals to the notebook via Ethernet.

The Inmarsat L-band service provides additional Internet connectivity and enables live video streaming from anywhere in the world covered by BGAN's satellite network, including extremely remote locations where no other network connections are available.

The LIVE+ NewsBook software automatically optimises transmission settings when a high data rate streaming connection is selected. In addition to BGAN, the LIVE+ NewsBook software bonds multiple cellular, Wi-Fi and Ethernet connections to create an aggregated data path for the transmission of reliable high-quality, low-latency video.

Integrator Network Innovations has worked with Dejero to offer LIVE+ NewsBook software for the new bonded HDR service offered via Explorer-710 BGAN HDR terminals. While Dejero leverages the bonded HDR service to provide a higher-quality picture, broadcasters are able to reduce satellite costs by using the more affordable asymmetrical HDR streaming service.

"We designed our LIVE+ NewsBook software for field reporters, foreign correspondents and other production professionals who need to send live or recorded video content remotely while traveling with as little gear as possible," said Brian Cram, CEO, Dejero.

"This update makes the software more versatile than ever, with the ability to use multiple BGAN connections to improve video quality in areas lacking other network resources. Now it is easier than ever to cover breaking news and live events with broadcast-quality content from remote locations."
