WATERLOO – Broadcast video and data transport provider Dejero announced today it will unveil its EnGo 3 (above) and EnGo 3x 5G-native mobile transmitters with integrated Internet gateway at NAB 2022.
“The greatly anticipated new additions to the EnGo family combine superior 5G performance, multi-camera support and 4K UHD resolution with unparalleled video quality for broadcast and media production markets,” a press release says.
Among the features is a redesigned RF and antenna architecture.
“Our team worked with world-renowned RF and antenna experts to maximize cellular signal quality and performance on 5G networks,” said Yvonne Monterroso, director of product management at Dejero, in the release.
“We’re quadrupling the number of antennas per modem and diversifying the antenna types. It’s incredibly complex to add so many antennas to a small, portable device without compromising performance and reliability, which we’ve achieved. It’s just not as simple as replacing 4G modems with 5G modems,” she said.
EnGo 3 and EnGo 3x feature 4×4 MIMO antennas. Dejero modified them to ensure optimal antenna isolation.
Dejero also “selected modems that support a broad range of cellular bands to enhance 5G performance,” the press release says.
Another feature of the EnGo 3x transmitter is multi-camera support for as many as four fully frame-synced HD feeds. “Dejero’s new remote production transmitter is perfect for capturing feeds from multiple cameras in a single unit, reducing the cost and complexity of multi-camera sports and live event productions. The additional camera inputs can be licensed when needed, for ultimate flexibility,” the press release explains.
“The ability to transmit in 4Kp60 10-bit HDR with eight audio channels delivers unparalleled video quality at extremely low latencies.”
Dejero anticipates this will be a sought-after feature as viewers are willing to pay a premium to watch more sports and major live events in the highest definition possible, according to the press release.
“Furthermore, 4K live feeds can greatly benefit from film, television and commercial productions to make it easier for distributed teams not located on set to monitor and detect lighting and colour balance issues in real-time,” the release says.
The EnGo 3 transmitter incorporates all the features introduced with the EnGo 265 last year.
“It reliably transports broadcast-quality live video from remote locations whilst also providing resilient, high-bandwidth internet access, all in one single device,” the release explains.
“With glass-to-glass latency as low as half a second over bonded cellular connections, it also delivers greater security with AES 256 encryption, a security-hardened Linux OS and a cryptoprocessor to authenticate the hardware.”
Both the new EnGo transmitters can also streamline communication and workflow between the field and station for news teams, and for film, television and commercial production companies, users can leverage the transmitters’ “ultra-reliable connectivity to enable real-time collaboration with dispersed teams,” the release explains.
“They can also accelerate delivery of content from the remote location directly to post-production, regardless of where that location is – thus reducing the number of people required on set and unlocking huge cost-savings.”
