LIVE+ Transceiver for IP video transport makes debut

Dejero has announced the launch of the LIVE+ Transceiver, a combination encoder/decoder for IP video transport over Dejero’s LIVE+ platform. With the ability to accept IP inputs and feed IP outputs simultaneously in a single 1-RU chassis, the LIVE+ Transceiver can also be used to contribute and receive HD live content across Dejero’s new LIVE+ Multipoint IP video distribution network. The LIVE+ Transceiver is now shipping and available for purchase from Dejero resellers.

“With LIVE+ Multipoint, we’ve provided a scalable means of leveraging the public internet to transport video across the globe quickly, while automatically maintaining the highest levels of video quality and low latency,” said Brian Cram, CEO, Dejero. “The new LIVE+ Transceiver is a powerful addition to any LIVE+ Multipoint distribution environment as broadcast facilities can now use the transceiver as both a source and a destination to exchange high-quality live video, without the expense of a separate encoder and decoder.”

The cloud-based LIVE+ Multipoint video distribution network offers a low-latency alternative to traditional satellite links and dedicated fibre networks for day-to-day live content exchanges between stations and partner broadcasters. The network uses patent-pending functionality to support contribution from any Dejero video transmission source, including the LIVE+ Transceiver and Dejero’s full range of LIVE+ mobile transmitters.

With a single LIVE+ Transceiver at each location, media organisations can simultaneously send content to the LIVE+ Multipoint network, while receiving content from other locations providing content to the network.
