Dejero Launches LIVE+ NewsBook For Mac

Dejero has launched its LIVE+ NewsBook software for Mac notebooks. The new software transforms a Mac notebook into a video uplink solution for transmitting live HD or SD video feeds, as well as recorded and edited files, back to the broadcast facility.

The NewsBook software bonds multiple cellular, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and satellite connections to create an aggregated data path for the transmission of video.

"The Dejero LIVE+ NewsBook software is the perfect solution for field reporters and foreign correspondents who need to travel with as little gear as possible," said Brian Cram, CEO, Dejero. "With NewsBook's simple user interface that makes it easy to capture and transmit broadcast-quality content, covering breaking news cost-effectively from remote locations has never been easier."

In a typical configuration using cellular transmissions, a videojournalist connects a Mac notebook running the NewsBook software with a low-cost prosumer video camera using a video capture device such as a Blackmagic Design UltraStudio Mini Recorder, which links the camera via the notebook's Thunderbolt port. By swapping out USB modems attached to the notebook, users can adapt Dejero LIVE+ NewsBook for operation over cellular networks. The notebook's own webcam provides a backup if a camera fails in the field, which is also useful for talking-head interviews. Users can also receive countdown cues by using the interruptible foldback (IFB) feature with a wired or wireless earpiece.
