LiveU is partnering with all leading satellite communications operators and players to allow news teams to enjoy the benefits of both satellite and cellular networks for live newsgathering. The integrated solution, centrally operated via the LiveU interface, offers broadcasters and news agencies a robust, high performance hybrid solution for live video transmission in diverse locations. Intersection of Market Trends With the continuing development of cellular technology, the ability to go live on the move or from remote locations is becoming standard among top tier broadcasters. Many news agencies are using this innovative technology to complement their existing satellite systems.

Published on Jul 19, 2012 DSNG SYSTEMDIGITAL SATTELLITE NEWS GATHERING SYSTEM WHAT IS DSNG?• Satellite news gathering (SNG) is the use of mobile communications equipment for the purpose of worldwide news-casting. Mobile units are usually vans equipped with advanced, two-way audio and video transmitters and receivers, using dish antennas that can be aimed at geostationary satellites. Cont….• A modern DSNG van is a sophisticated affair, capable of deployment practically anywhere in the civilized world. Signals are beamed between a geostationary satellite and the van, and between the satellite and a control room run by a broadcast station or network. TYPES OF DSNG IN AIR NETWORK• MOBILE DSNG SYSTEM Equipments are mounted within a vehicle. • FLYAWAY DSNG SYSTEM Equipments are mounted within carry away suitcases.
