WATERLOO — Broadcast video transport solution provider Dejero announced Tuesday new compact versions of its WayPoint receiver and CuePoint return video and teleprompter server, designed for rapid relocation in portable flyaway kits and for remote production vehicles where space is at a premium.
The new WayPoint 50 single-output compact receiver reconstructs broadcast-quality video transported over multiple IP connections from a Dejero transmitter, decodes HEVC or AVC, and outputs to SDI or MPEG-TS workflows. In addition to in-vehicle and portable kit installation, WayPoint 50 is ideal for stations that need just a single output for their broadcast workflow, says the news release.
The compact Dejero CuePoint 50 return feed server sends low-latency live program video and teleprompter feeds to on-air presenters, camera operators, and other production personnel in the field, to help them stay synchronized with central production during live broadcasts and allow them to adjust their on-camera position to account for overlays and graphics. Up to eight output feeds can be viewed on tablets, smartphones or regular monitors.
“Broadcast equipment that’s quick to deploy is critical in disaster recovery scenarios and to have on hand as part of contingency planning,” said Yvonne Monterroso, director of product management at Dejero. “The Covid-19 pandemic has seen broadcasters having to quickly evacuate their buildings and move equipment to secure locations. And increasingly, we’ve seen broadcasters needing to move critical equipment from their stations that may be in the path of hurricanes or severe flooding. That’s why we’ve added compact, quickly deployable versions of our receivers and servers to our portfolio that can go anywhere.”
