By Holly Ashford
THE NON-PROFIT John Lennon Educational Tour Bus has chosen LiveU to deliver live stream productions known as @lennonbus. The shows are being streamed live using LiveU’s beltclip LU40-S cellular transmission technology as well as its backpack LU70 to deliver live content. The Bus is a professional audio and HD video recording and production facility aiming to provide young people with access to state-of-the-art production studios. It aims to provide young people in Europe with hands-on opportunities to produce original music, video, photo, game app and broadcast projects reflective of their ideas, values, and creativity. The John Lennon Bus chose LiveU to help broaden its streaming possibilities. Jeff Sobel, chief engineer with the John Lennon Bus said, “In the United States our bus is equipped with a roof-mounted satellite dish. While the dish is

Sky News in historic court camera installation By Holly Ashford
THE BRITISH High Court has opened to video broadcast for the first time, and Sky News has installed multiple PTZ cameras in the Courts of Justice, using IntraTec and Teradek wireless technology. A wireless, cable-free infrastructure was created by Sky News to capture the events in court while avoiding lengths of cable, manned camera positions and multiple power sockets.
Using WiFi to control
cameras and wireless SDI senders to transmit full HD pictures, live television is now produced in the courtroom using a single operator. As a result of cabling and
space restrictions in court, George Davies, head of cameras at Sky News, used IntraTec Bridge Duo Remote PTZ kits to allow for multi-cam pictures to be recorded. These remote units include connectors that power

the camera, WiFi sender and video transmitter. “Listed buildings don’t take
kindly to mounts being fixed to walls or cables being secured to ancient oak paneling,” said Richard Payne of distributor Holdan. “Going wireless with IntraTec and Teradek was a great solution for Sky News, delivering all-day HD filming with no compromise.” The solution uses a combination of its new IntraTec
Bridge Duo and Bridge units for wireless control, a Teradek Bolt for wireless video, and a Panasonic HE120 camera. This allowed a PTZ camera to be wireless for control, power and picture transmission. Broadcasters can locate cameras in any position for extended shoots, with no consideration for cabling, control cables or power supplies. This is suitable for venues and locations where equipment cannot be

Our technology is designed to provide mobility and ease of deployment which we’re pleased to see the John Lennon Bus taking advantage of. We hope that it helps inspire creativity across the U.S. and Europe.”

permanently installed either because of time or logistical constraints. The IntraTec Bridge Duo 2 units and miniaturised IntraTec Bridge 2 units are designed for maximum WiFi range, in excess of 250m. Both provide a way to connect any video equipment that features network connections over large distances using WiFi. Video signals from the PTZ were transmitted uncompressed and with zero latency by Teradek’s Bolt, and were received by a Bolt receiver which passes the video into the live production desk.
