NABSHOW 2015 PREVIEW

Aviwest SU6716

DMNG Studio AVIWEST will showcase a new version of its DMNG Studio server at the 2015 NAB Show that is capable of receiving incoming streams from DMNG video uplink systems, as well as third-party products such as IP cameras through a variety of protocols such as RTP, RTSP, TS over UDP, HLS, and RTMP. The new Linux®-based DMNG Studio supports multiple output formats and allows for point-to-point, and pointto-multipoint video distribution. The new DMNG Studio system enables inputting video signals from the studio mixer and streaming to the cloud, thereby allowing broadcasters to use the solution as a central video hub and interface rather than just a receiver. The DMNG Studio is compatible with all AVIWEST live video transmission solutions, including the DMNG PRO series, DMNG RACK180, and the DMNG APP.

DMNG APP — Now Available for Android™ and iOS-Based Smartphones A key highlight at the 2015 NAB Show will be AVIWEST's DMNG APP, which turns any smartphone into a live broadcast video camera. Designed with ease of use in mind, the DMNG APP allows any Android™ or iOS-based smartphone user to transmit video content in just seconds. Using the DMNG APP video professionals can stream high-quality, live video content via WiFi and 3G/4G-LTE networks (even bonding both together for higher bandwidth, coverage, and reliability), or transmit pre-recorded video files from anywhere in the world to the DMNG Studio receiver. Fully integrated into the DMNG ecosystem, the application can be remotely controlled through

AVIWEST's DMNG Manager, enabling organizations to effectively manage a large fleet of smartphones.

Capabilities for DMNG PRO At the 2015 NAB Show, AVIWEST will launch a specially designed backpack for the DMNG PRO video uplink system. The backpack is ideal for broadcasters utilizing the DMNG PRO with a handheld camera. This system can also be mounted on camera. DMNG PRO now comes standard with a new integration with Cobham's EXPLORER 710 BGAN terminal, an ultra-portable satellite antenna. When used during satellite transmission, the Cobham antenna provides real-time information about the satellite's available bit rate, enabling the DMNG PRO to compress video content accordingly to ensure superior video quality. In addition to general enhancement of system performance, several new functions have been added to the DMNG PRO system. A new roaming function supporting international SIM cards has been added allowing the user to select the ope-

rator that the SIM will be connected to, gaining increased flexibility. A new, low-frame-rate feature has also been added to the DMNG PRO, which is especially beneficial for low bit rate streaming.

DMNG Manager At the 2015 NAB Show, AVIWEST will demonstrate new cloud-based capabilities for the DMNG Manager, an innovative server application that enables broadcasters and video professionals to monitor and manage an entire fleet of DMNG equipment including DMNG transmitters, smartphones using the DMNG APP, and DMNG Studio receivers. Through a unified Web-based user interface, which can be installed through either a cloud-based application or a headend solution, operators can easily allocate resources and route live video content for transmission over 3G/4G cellular wireless, WiFi, Ethernet, and satellite networks. The DMNG Manager also includes geolocation capabilities for easy identification of the exact location of each transmission.
