Latin America. Dejero announced the latest version of its Core 5.4 software, which will benefit those using Dejero's video transport solutions, including the EnGo mobile transmitter, rack-mounted FlexPoint transceiver, PathWay encoder and WayPoint receiver.
The core software runs on all Dejero transmitters, encoders, transceivers and receivers, and includes patented Smart Blending technology that improves the reliability of connection paths, extends coverage, and delivers higher bandwidth. Its unique hardware/software hybrid encoding technology delivers high-quality video even in the most challenging limited bandwidth scenarios.
With the release of Core 5.4, users of the FlexPoint 111 transceiver, an integrated encoder and decoder, can now stream and receive resolutions of up to 4K UHD at 60 frames per second, with live bit rates of up to 60 Mb/s. 4K UHD supports live and recording modes.
Version 5.4 also introduces two-way intercom communications to a number of Dejero products, including the EnGo 1.3 and EnGo 260 mobile transmitters, as well as the WayPoint 104 receiver. A subtitle feature is now also available for the FlexPoint transceiver and the new WayPoint 50 receiver.
"We have introduced full-duplex two-way voice communication between the studio and field staff with our new intercom feature," explains Yvonne Monterroso, Director of Product Management at Dejero. "This gives our customers a second communication channel in addition to the existing one-way reversible withdrawal (IFB) channel. Not only does this support real-time communication from the field to the control room; it also allows for a channel for talent and a separate channel for the camera operator, ensuring everyone is in sync."
The update includes power management improvements for EnGo 260. Users can expect three hours of live video streaming from the internal rechargeable battery, adding an additional hour of operation. EnGo 260 also supports external ENG camera batteries for those who need a long runtime.
Core 5.4 also strengthens transmission security. Optional streaming encryption capability includes the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with 256-bit key to keep audio and video data safe when transported over public Internet links. This is particularly important to protect data if you use a single network connection that may be available at one place or other fixed location.
A key component of Dejero's Core software, specialized hybrid encoding technology, is ideal for low-latency live video contribution scenarios. It works in tandem with Dejero's patented Smart Blending technology to form a tightly integrated system that responds in real time to changes in network quality and video content. With a unique complexity analyzer, encoding adapts dynamically based on the amount of motion in the scene being captured, automatically improving image quality even in extremely low-bandwidth scenarios.
