In what is being hailed as the first intercontinental live video broadcast from a mobile phone, Sky News cameraman Andy Portch and correspondent Mark Stone used Dejero's LIVE+ Mobile App on an iPhone to deliver content from China to the UK.
The video interview was delivered live from the centre of a censorship protest which happened last month in Guangzhou, China.
The Dejero LIVE+ Mobile App transmitted the video in real time over a 3G cellular connection to television viewers in the UK. The solution and support were supplied to Sky News by Dejero's exclusive UK distributor, IDX Technology Europe.
Dejero's LIVE+ Mobile App gives broadcasters the ability to transmit high-quality live or recorded video from an iOS device. It uses the same patent-pending bonded transmission technology as Dejero's LIVE+ 20/20 Transmitter.
The app aggregates bandwidth from both the WiFi and cellular connections of the device and can transmit live or recorded HD or SD video using both the phone's front and rear cameras during a single broadcast, enabling reporters to set up and shoot a breaking news story without the need for a satellite truck, camera operator or broadcast equipment.
