Dejero, key to the production of the launch event of 'The Wheel of Time' (Amazon Prime Video)

The promotional event of The wheel of time, fiction Amazon Prime Video, reached Italian viewers thanks to EnGo mobile transmitters and GateWay network aggregation solution from Dejero.

The director of the new television series Amazon Prime, Claudio Piccolotto, chose Nexting, Dejero's local partner and production company, to provide production services for this innovative promotional activity, designed to attract younger OTT viewers and which could be seen on YouTube y Twitch. The live event included hours of games LARP (Live Action Role Playing) on the theatrical stage of Gargonza Castle (Italy), a 13th century fortified town that extends over 10,000 square meters in Tuscany.

Nexting was responsible for deploying three kilometers of SDI fiber cable to receive the signal 17 fixed cameras, while others eight wireless cameras and a drone They covered the action on three different sets live. The wireless cameras used Dejero EnGo mobile transmitters equipped with sim cards from several network providers to offer “greater reliability, greater coverage and greater bandwidth from anywhere in the town,” as Dejero herself points out. Before live broadcast, Nexting used cloud-based management system I let go of control to monitor EnGo SIM cards, traffic usage and mobile coverage, allowing the production team to “ensure” optimal SIM configuration across locations.

Enrico Parolisi, digital and communications strategist at Nexting, highly rates Dejero's systems: "The sets were impressive, but as with most of these remote locations, connectivity was spotty. With an entire castle to cover and no plot or script to work on beforehand, it was absolutely crucial that our wireless camera operators could move freely without fear of losing connectivity. With EnGo (which automatically connects to multiple IP networks simultaneously, including mobile, Wi-Fi and ethernet) our team had the freedom and the mobility to transmit from the best possible points of view in any of the castle locations.”

Despliegue de GateWay

La solución de agregación de red GateWay de Dejero proporcionó un gran ancho de banda y una conectividad de Internet “pública y fiable”, la cual permitió que un codificador SRT transmitiera en directo a una sala central de MCR para la producción remota del evento. GateWay ofreció un conducto para transmitir vídeo y datos, definido como “rápido, seguro y fiable”, combinando múltiples conexiones IP por cable (broadband, fiber) and wireless (3G/4G/5G, Wi-Fi, satélite) de múltiples redes en un único servicio.

Rob Waters, director de ventas EMEA y APAC de Dejero, valora el papel de Dejero en el evento de lanzamiento de The wheel of time: "Knowing that Dejero's connectivity technology has enriched the production value of this ambitious live launch event makes us feel amazing. It's all about providing creative freedom to production teams, as well as the confidence to be able to live stream even from the most difficult and remote locations, such as Gargonza Castle. With Smart Blending technology, creative and production professionals no longer have to limit their ideas based on location: they can achieve a seamless live stream of high-quality video from anywhere."
