VidOvation introduced two new AVIWEST DMNG products, the DMNG PRO and the DMNG Laptop, for the Apple MacBook Pro. VidOvation is the US master distributor for AVIWEST.

The DMNG PRO bonded cellular video transmission system offers the industry’s highest processing power for bonded cellular with bit rates of up to 20 Mbps. It also includes a second high-bit-rate encoding engine for high resolution video recording and an ASI output. It can bond up to 8 cellular modems into an Internet access point.

The DMNG Laptop software provides H.265/AVC and H.265/HEVC encoding for high-quality video streaming on a MacBook Pro. It reduces the amount of gear needed for newsgathering, and supports live streaming, file transfer via various networks, and storage.

Both the DMNG PRO and DMNG Laptop are fully integrated with the AVIWEST DMNG Manager and DMNG StreamHub receiver, decoder and distribution platform. DMNG Manager enables users to receive content, monitor, manage and control all DMNG transmissions with a single interface.

VidOvation announced Paducah KY NBC affiliate WPSD recently expanded their field newsgathering capabilities with the AVIWEST DMNG PRO 180 3G/4G bonded cellular transmission system.

Long-range wireless

At the 2016 NAB Show, the company also added two new products in its VidOlink family of long-range transmitters, the VidOlink Ranger2 and the VidOlink Tally & Control. The Ranger2 transmits wireless HD video up to two miles, using COFDM to transport video on the 5.8 GHz band. The Tally & Control unit uses the 403-473 MHz band to add a wide range of tally and camera control (CCU) functions to new or existing wireless cameras.

VidOvation also introduced three new long-range transmitter models, the VidOlink Reacher 400, Reacher 1000, and Reacher 2000. The numbers indicate the number of feet, respectively, the systems can reliably transmit HD-SDI and HDMI video with near-zero latency, making them ideal for sports production.
