Picture this, you’re at a breaking news event and everything seems to be going well—until your connectivity is impacted and so is your picture quality. Now, you have to deal with a pixelated, poor-quality feed on the air, plus the footage takes on a life of its own when it lands in the news pool and your news archives.
You can’t control everything that happens during a live news event but you can control the quality of the video captured with the Store & Forward function found on your Dejero EnGo.
Dejero EnGo provides options to record high-quality content anytime, even during a live event. The high-quality video clips are stored on your EnGo hard drive and ready to transmit back to your HQ when you’re ready.
Why use Store & Forward?
The appeal of Store & Forward is that you don’t have to rely on the live feed that was recorded on the server back at your news studio. Instead, you have a beautiful, high-quality recording stored on the video transmitter’s internal drive which can provide up to 60-hours of recording.
The Store & Forward function comes in handy in a number of scenarios, such as:
- Bad network conditions
- When you arrive onsite you will test and determine if your modems are not firing up
- The station or HQ may complain of poor video quality because of network congestion….
- You have the option to record using your EnGo mobile transmitter while doing your live hit… This is one way to record a high quality file that can be forwarded after the live events or segments.
- Promos, openings or footage for edits
- The videographer can use the EnGo to record footage while gathering with their camera and send content after the fact by playing back and ingesting the camera clips for transmission.
- Press scrums for news or sports
- You can send clips throughout an event. The clips are sent back to your broadcast facility between scrums for distributions.
- Live breaking news
- A videographer may have recorded several clips during news gathering and have the ability to transfer their video back to HQ for editing
Dejero Smart Blending Technology with Store & Forward capabilities can get you out of some serious jams and help avoid poor-quality video footage.
