French-based Aviwest, a global provider of video contribution uplink systems, will showcase updates to its digital mobile news gathering (DMNG) system, including cloud capabilities, at the upcoming Cabsat, a top media event, in Dubai, UAE.

Using the advanced live video contribution platform, broadcasters can capture and broadcast live HD or SD video over multiple networks, including bonded 3G/4G cellular wireless, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and satellite, a company statement said.

Offering seamless integration into existing workflows and headends, extremely low power consumption, high MTBF, and unparalleled mobility, the DMNG system offers broadcasters a fully integrated and cloud-based solution for breaking news and live events coverage.

Aviwest will launch a new version of its DMNG Studio server, which is capable of receiving incoming streams from DMNG video uplink systems as well as IP cameras and other equipment through a variety of formats such as RTP, RTSP, TS over UDP, and RTMP. The new Linux®-based DMNG Studio supports multiple output formats and allows for point-to-point and point-to-multipoint video distribution.

By allowing broadcasters to use the DMNG Studio as a central video hub and interface rather than just a receiver, the new DMNG Studio system opens up the possibility of inputting video signals from the studio mixer and streaming to the cloud.

The DMNG Studio is compatible with all Aviwest live video transmission solutions, including the DMNG PRO series, DMNG RACK180, and the DMNG APP.

Through the application’s intuitive user interface, users can easily manage a fleet of remote transmitters and dynamically create live broadcast shows by interacting with the remote journalists and selecting the stream to publish on air. The application is available in a variety of configurations to fit customers’ unique needs and head-end constraints.

At Cabsat 2015, Aviwest will demonstrate new cloud-based capabilities for the DMNG Manager, an innovative server application that enables broadcasters and video professionals to monitor and manage an entire fleet of DMNG equipment including DMNG transmitters, smartphones with the DMNG App, and DMNG Studio receivers.

Through a unified Web-based user interface, which can be installed through either a cloud-based application or a headend solution, operators can easily allocate resources and route live video content for transmission over 3G/4G cellular wireless, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and satellite networks.

The DMNG Manager also includes geolocation capabilities for easy identification of the exact location of each transmission. By dramatically streamlining digital mobile newsgathering operations, the DMNG Manager provides broadcasters and other video professionals with significant time and cost savings.

Cabsat 2015 is running from March 10 to 12 at Dubai World Trade Centre.  – TradeArabia News Service
