Dejero, provider of real-time video and networking solutions, has enabled Stream7 to create its own temporary internet for live events production and broadcasting.
Hybrid, virtual and physical end-to-end broadcast and production specialist, Stream7, has leveraged Dejero’s GateWay M6E6 network aggregation devices to create of its own network infrastructure for live events production and broadcasting at a diverse range of locations and venues, said the company.
Stream7 recently provisioned a hybrid event at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital in Sheffield, UK. Dejero GateWay devices provided a two-way link between a procedure room and the hospital lecture theatre, enabling both in-person and online delegates to watch an endoscopy in real-time and interact remotely with the surgical team.
Each GateWay, carrying six SIM cards from a range of network providers, allowed Stream7 to create an isolated temporary network for the event, using only blended cellular. Video feeds from two cameras were broadcast, along with data from two endoscopy machines, to a video conference platform via an NDI-bridge using Stream7’s Newtek Tricaster production system.
For other live events, Stream7 has utilised GateWay to combine cellular connectivity and other IP networks, including fibre and satellite for primary and back-up connectivity with Dejero Smart Blending Technology, said the company.
Darren Wain, Stream7’s MD, said: “Not only does the GateWay give us and our clients complete confidence to broadcast from physical buildings, it also opens up new opportunities for us to cover outdoor events, such as festivals in the middle of the countryside; because the GateWays are easy to set up, we’ve gained a new level of agility. Now any project in any location is doable,”
