Dejero provided
mobile transmission
services
for
broadcasters
covering the football
in Brazil. Broadcasters
were able to rent the
Dejero LIVE+ 20/20
Transmitter and install the Dejero
LIVE+ Mobile App on their iOS
and Android smartphones and
tablets, enabling them to transmit
live coverage and also to store and
forward video for later broadcast.

ABonAir's MIMO
technology now boasts
a camera data link

and the LIVE+ Mobile App
give videojournalists the
ability to encode and
transmit broadcastquality video directly
over LTE, 4G, 3G, Wi-Fi,
or Ethernet connections
from locations that
are impractical for
traditional news vehicles
to access. The LIVE+
20/20 Transmitter is a
rugged and portable
bonded wireless
system that can be
easily transported
from venue to venue,
and the LIVE+ Mobile
App is installed on
the reporter's mobile
device. Both are ideal
for capturing news reports and
colour footage such as interviews
with players, team training sessions,
and enthusiastic fans entering and
leaving the arenas.
"All eyes were on one of the biggest
single-event sporting competitions

in the world. This is the latest in a
long series of global sports events,
including the Sochi Winter Games
and London Summer Games, in
which some of the world's top-tier
broadcasters take advantage of our
transmission services," said Brian
Cram, CEO of Dejero.
If the World Cup was the highlight of
the 2014 sports broadcast calendar,
winner in the OB entertainment
stakes must be a certain major
musical gathering down on Worthy
Farm in Somerset. Bob Shennan,
Controller BBC Radio 2, 6 Music,
Asian Network and Director, BBC
Music said: "Glastonbury is one
of the world's most famous music
festivals and once again the BBC
provided audiences with a magical
weekend of coverage, in a way that
only the BBC can."
Stagebox camera back interface
technology featured in the extensive
BBC coverage. Bluebell Opticom's
Net Caddie is a compact camera
interface using the Stagebox by
BBC Research & Development
technology. Bluebell's Net Caddie
allows HD-SDI to be injected
directly into a standard IP network
environment. Net Caddie transforms

the entire camera's bidirectional
linear control, audio and video
signals into packet based IP
protocols, all on a single Cat 6 cable
to simplify workﬂows and rigging.
By using Stagebox technology with
100MB/s AVC-I compression, the
HD-SDI is converted and carried
over the network in full broadcast
quality video. This allows a
remote camera to
be used directly
in the production
environment.
Net Caddie
provides
video, audio
and ancillary
information
over a time
synchronous
network.
