Tyrell CCT, in conjunction with Agtel deployed innovative streaming technology lately to broadcast live to the web from a recent Enterprise Ireland SME Seminar.
Tyrell CCT and Agtel demonstrated LiveU, the 'Satellite truck in a backpack', from the Dublin based SME event, part of a series of eight business finance seminars hosted for Irish SMEs. LiveU has developed a revolutionary hand-held video uplink device that enables anyone to broadcast live video instantly, anytime, anywhere. Tyrell CCT was recently awarded the exclusive Irish distribution of this innovative mobile video delivery solution. This technology preview demonstrated the outstanding quality and reliability of broadcasting via 3G networks with the entire seminar delivered live to viewers in Enterprise Ireland offices around the world.
Organised by Enterprise Ireland, the Small Firms Association, IBEC, the Irish Taxation Institute and the County Enterprise Boards, the SME seminar series was developed to assist SMEs to gain a greater understanding of financial, employment, tax and business supports information to manage and grow their business. The Dublin seminar, which coincided with European SME week, was host to a number of high profile speakers including the Minister for Trade and Commerce, Billy Kelleher. Tyrell CCT provided Agtel with the LiveU LU30 backpack system and offsite technical backup to broadcast the Dublin based event in real-time to a global Enterprise Ireland audience.
Viewers in locations ranging from Milan, Stockholm and Tokyo provided live feedback via a web chat facility and testified to the picture and sound quality. Following the keynote speeches the Agtel cameraman equipped solely with the LU30 backpack conducted a Vox Pop style session with the seminar delegates moving easily around the venue, including the underground car park, to push the limits of the technology.
LiveU offers a real-time video uplink solution at broadcast quality which provides instant set up time and connects to any video camera.
“LiveU has made a significant contribution in advancing the technology and expanding the opportunity for high-quality live transmission.” commented Bryan Malone, Managing Director, Tyrell CCT. “It is particularly suited to breaking news and on-the-move events where deploying traditional broadcast technologies might be impossible or too costly.” He added, “It’s as simple as a camera or video operator arriving on location with the battery operated LU-30 unit (in a lightweight backpack) and connecting it to any video camera. You can broadcast live from any indoor or outdoor location without concerns about cable or satellite restrictions – it is truly one of the best technologies I have seen in a long time.”
