...Dejero + Nucomm Connect Live transmitter was named a Pick Hit by Broadcast Engineering magazine at the 2013 NAB Show. Connect Live is a next-generation, camera-mounted cellular and microwave bonding system for electronic newsgathering (ENG) that offers mobile news teams a highly flexible and powerful alternative to traditional satellite and microwave links.

The Pick Hits are the longest-running and most prestigious technical awards presented at the NAB Show, chosen by a panel of independent judges who tour the show floor for three days to identify innovative products and technologies. The judges make their selections based on numerous criteria, including the technical and financial improvements the product can bring to a facility's operation. The Dejero + Nucomm Connect Live transmitter was among only 33 products chosen as Pick Hits.

Connect Live is a powerful combination of IMT's coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (COFDM) technology and Dejero's patent-pending Adaptive Bitrate Encoding technologies. Adaptive Bitrate Encoding enables the transmitter to compensate for changing network conditions by adjusting frame rate, resolution, encoding rates, and streaming parameters. When the story is critical and cellular issues arise, news crews can feel confident the story will get covered by switching to microwave. In this manner, the system is able to bond up to four cellular 3G or 4G LTE networks—as well as any combination of Ka-band satellite, Wi-Fi®, Ethernet—to provide maximum throughput for video transmissions. Driven by innovation from both companies, the new Connect Live system is the most versatile SD/HD live-news wireless camera system on the market today, and it offers full integration with the Dejero LIVE+ platform. The system is packaged with a five-inch, high-resolution touch-screen monitor designed to mount directly onto a range of small-format HD cameras used in today's broadcasts.
