TORONTO – CBC reporters are turning their iPhones into broadcast cameras with the Dejero LIVE+ Mobile App now being deployed to 100 of its national and international field reporters. The app integrates with CBC’s current fleet of LIVE+ 20/20 Transmitters and LIVE+ Broadcast Servers that are being used for regional and national news coverage.
CBC has placed a focus on increasing media acquisition across all of its distribution platforms and will be utilizing the Dejero LIVE+ Mobile App installed on Apple iOS devices to generate live news content throughout the organization.
“We are thrilled to be working with the CBC on a large scale deployment of the Dejero LIVE+ Mobile App,” said Paul Friedman, Vice President at Dejero. “Like many broadcasters, CBC was seeking a cost-effective solution for increasing media acquisition in the field. The LIVE+ Mobile App enables reporters to quickly and easily broadcast high-quality live video from an iPhone or iPad that previously would not have been possible.”
Waterloo-based Dejero’s app gives broadcasters the ability to transmit high-quality live or recorded video from an iPhone or iPad. The LIVE+ Mobile App allows reporters to set up anywhere in seconds and transmit live from a consumer device. The app aggregates bandwidth from both the WiFi and cellular connections of the device, resulting in a higher quality live video transmission with lower latency than a single connection would provide claims Dejero. The LIVE+ Mobile App can transmit live or recorded video using both the front and back cameras of the device during a single broadcast, enabling reporters to create a complete breaking news story without the need for a camera operator or extra equipment.
