Mobile Broadcasting with DVME and DVMD

Mobility

There is often a need to send live video from a remote location to some central facility. For example, a news organization wishes to send a live video feed back to the studio; a Public, Education, or Government TV channel wishes to provide coverage of a live council meeting, a community event such as a parade.

Because streaming solutions typically seek to deliver video directly to consumers, remote broadcasting to a studio or other centralized facility has been underserved...until now.

The Discover Video Multimedia Encoder (DVME) sends live video to the Discover Video Multimedia Decoder (DVMD) over virtually any network, so you can receive conventional composite or SVideo video along with CD-quality audio.

Cellular
Modern 3G cellular modems (e.g. Verizon) can give you upload speeds approaching 250 Kbps with 3G service, and up to 1 Mbps to 4G service. Usage is in the $40/month range.


Wireless
Getting a Wi-Fi (802.11) connection to your laptop PC has never been more common. Just connect your laptop to the wireless network as you normally would and start streaming.

Wired
Of course, wired connection is your best choice for dependable high speed networking.  Just connect your laptop as you normally would and and start streaming.

Receiving Your Mobile Video
You can broadcast your your mobile video directly to your viewers by simply providing the DVME web viewing page. But you can also receive your video on a Discover Video Multimedia Decoder (DVMD) which delivers full screen composite and SVideo output, along with analog audio.

Of course, if you receive your mobile broadcast on a computer, you can connect your computer to a scan converter (like many broadcast stations do to deliver "bulletin boards") to deliver the live mobile video, but you need to use caution to ensure the audio/video is in sync and you will not enjoy the remote control benefits provided by DVMD.

Remote Control
DVME and DVMD both provide web remote control (when used with a Discover Video Streaming Account).  Web remote control allows you to start, stop, or even schedule your remote DVME, allowing unattended operation. DVMD also provides remote control, so you can change what DVMD is displaying from any web browser.

Recording
When the situation does not call for live broadcast, or as an archive of a live event, DVME will digitally record your video in H.264, WM, or MPEG-2 format (DVME Pro)...and even upload it to your server.
