For the first time in live news, LiveEdge allows high-quality
live interaction with two-way audio/video/data communication in
real time. While important for news broadcasters, LiveEdge also
delivers applications supporting other fields, such as education,
medical, military, and first responders. LiveEdge draws on the
Eurotech engineering and advanced feature set to enable device
connectivity, communications and routing functions to deliver
reliable broadcast video in real time.
To effectively serve mobile reporters, LiveEdge had to be small,
light, reliable, versatile, and wireless-ready. The device weighs
just 1.5 lbs, attaches to broadcast cameras and transmits and
receives data over high-bandwidth wireless or wired networks. With
a small form factor, the Eurotech embedded CPU offers a low power,
high performance building block for the LiveEdge device to meet
these demanding market requirements.
"We chose the Eurotech embedded CPU as the computing platform
for the LiveEdge device due to its small size, low power draw, and
feature set. We know broadcasters need reliability and long battery
life so they can capture and transmit news as it happens, for as
long as necessary," explains Timothy
Emig, Chief Technology Officer and Executive Vice President
of Nomad Innovations. "We rely on Eurotech to deliver the computing
and communications power that are key components of the LiveEdge
advanced feature set, and the results are excellent."
"Nomad Innovations has taken the LiveEdge device from
development to deployment quickly by building on the Eurotech
embedded CPU," comments Hilary
Tomasson, VP of Marketing for Eurotech North America.
"Connecting people by sharing data over the latest wireless
technology is an exciting example of what talented designers like
Nomad Innovation engineers can do with a flexible and proven
embedded CPU platform."
"Any field team, whether broadcasting the news or responding to
emergency situations, has greater mobility and flexibility when
communications options are no longer tied to microwave or satellite
trucks and time-consuming set-up procedures," suggests Sean Higgins, Senior VP Sales/Marketing, Nomad
Innovations.
The LiveEdge solution was demonstrated with Verizon Wireless at
the CES Show in Las Vegas in
January 2011, visit
