Field Crew: How It's Done Before the Sun

Video below

The Dejero units have revolutionized live TV and feeding video from the field.  No longer do you need a satellite truck or live truck.  The Dejero and similar units use multiple cellular signals to get video back to the station and even go live (with a slight delay).  Instead of plugging into a live truck, Sam plugs his camera into a unit the size of small backpack, and in minutes they have a live signal back to the station (presuming there are enough cell towers in the area).  The units have the capacity of six cellular signals all at once.  Even split up among different vendors:  ATT, Verizon, T-Mobile, the video somehow reassembles into HD quality video (they can feed lower quality-SD- video if there is not enough cellular bandwidth available).

Sam Garforth, photojournalist, and Dave Davis, reporter, explain live magic and battery basics.
