Cox’s WFTV Orlando is at the cutting edge of field transmission, using streaming cameras on vehicles that can be remotely controlled by a tech back at the station and transmitting over a 4G link. As more stations want that kind of capability, vendors are responding with bonded cellular and other wireless gear to improve efficiencies and connectivity and are working to include high-speed 5G wireless technology.
Endless Potential Media Group used a dual-team production strategy to deliver live coverage of the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon to running fans worldwide. Eight Dejero LIVE+ mobile transmitters followed runners for the entire course, sending video to a broadcast center, where feeds were processed and uploaded to the STWM website and the Canada Running Series YouTube channel.
