Dejero Develops ENG Services with a Rooftop View of Vatican |
| Starting February 26, Dejero secured the use of a rooftop terrace in downtown Rome with a panoramic view of the Vatican, as an instantly identifiable backdrop for live shots and other video coverage of Pope Benedict's last day in office on 28 February, and continues through to the naming of his successor later in March. |

Broadcasters participating in Dejero's rooftop package will have access to a separate portion of the terrace and will be supplied with power and a dedicated 6 Mbps Ethernet connection. Each client will also have use of a Dejero LIVE+ 20/20 Transmitter to encode and transmit HD or SD video directly over 4G, 3G, Wi-Fi or Ethernet connections. Existing cellular towers are expected to be flooded with traffic on the main celebration days, when more than 500,000 people are expected to attend. To handle potential problems, Dejero has also built a long-range private Wi-Fi network within the Piazza at St Peter's Basilica that will be able to transmit live video to any destination around the world from various Dejero-powered mobile devices — professional transmitters, laptops, iPads and iPhones. With this private network in place, live HD and SD transmissions can be broadcast with high quality and short latency, even if minimal or no bandwidth is available from the cellular networks. |

As well as this complete rooftop package, Dejero LIVE+ 20/20 Transmitters and the LIVE+ NewsBook and LIVE+ Mobile App software will be available for rent to broadcasters planning to do live reporting from other locations in Rome or within the Piazza. Each transmitter will be equipped with batteries and Italian 3G and 4G LTE SIM cards with roaming ability and optional access to the private Wi-Fi network. Broadcasters with their own LIVE+ 20/20 Transmitters, laptops running LIVE+ NewsBook software, or iPhones and iPads with the LIVE+ Mobile App have the option to access these private wireless hotspots in order to transmit live HD or SD video back to their viewers. Partners in Italy contributing to the development of the Vatican ENG services by lending local assistance and on-site support include Laboratorio Tevere, Dejero's Italian partner, and the company’s European distributor IDX Technology Europe. www.dejero.com Dejero distributor in Australia www.digistor.com.au |
