AVIWEST IBIS DMNG

IBIS DMNG is a patented, revolutionary, light, portable and cost effective DMNG© (Digital Mobile News Gathering) wireless camera system designed by Aviwest, allowing you to produce professional live video content from remote places over the mobile phone network.

The concept of this new system is based on the use of simple and cost effective 3G, 3G+ or Wi-Fi connections to compliment or replace the complex, heavy and costly satellite contribution based DSNG infrastructures

IBIS DMNG is based on dedicated, very powerful, multi-processor hardware developed by Aviwest to create a compact and efficient unit - embedding video professional interfaces and integrating a cutting-edge H.264 video compression technology

This small, lightweight system is able to stream a high quality live video, back to the TV station or control centre through up to 4 bundled and load balanced 3G links, to take advantage of several mobile phone network's bandwidths and ensure the best quality of service. It weighs less than 1Kg, including the internal, rechargeable battery, and has fixings to attach it to the camera. Video input is via SDI or composite connections, and options include a tally light to let the crew know when they're On Air. Mic input and headphone output connectors are also provided for a studio talkback channel.

Designed to be used by journalists and security forces who want to concentrate on the video content, and not their equipment, the unit is very simple to use through its friendly touch screen. It takes only few seconds to boot and the unit is On Air and automatically configured to the available network capacity. The IBIS DMNG can transmit real-time live video, as it happens, or store that content on its 32GB SD memory for later forwarding over a 3G, 3G+ or Wi-Fi link.

The integrated DMNG system (please see system overview image below) means that the IBIS DMNG unit streams directly to theIBIS Studio

client application. IBIS Studio is able to receive several incoming streams from remote IBIS DMNGs. The application allows the TV station / control centre to view, store and output the video, and to interact live with the remote journalists / camera operators.
