NewsCaster – The Affordable Satellite New Gathering (SNG) Vehicle - Debut During NAB 2008

PRLog (Press Release) - Apr 11, 2008 -
Glendale, CA –TV Pro Gear collaborates with ND SatCom, (NAB Booth C4849) Europe’s most respected provider of satellite technologies, to create a powerful and versatile remote news gathering vehicle.
TV Pro Gear integrates the ND SatCom SkyRAY system with the JVC Libre Wireless Transmitter to operate live remote broadcasts without the camera tethered to a news van. The Libre coupled with the JVC GY-HD200 or GY-HD250 camera gives news crews a full HD wireless equipped camera system that, for the first time, brings affordable HD wireless capabilities to the SNG market. Whether you are covering a breaking news story or reporting from a difficult remote location, your next assignment is just a satellite hop away.
The ND SatCom SkyRAY Mobile Satellite Solutions series is the latest generation of aerodynamic SNG (Satellite News Gathering) antenna subsystems on the market. Designed as a fashionable aerodynamic car-box, it can be easily and quickly roof-mounted on most vans or all-terrain vehicle models. One news gathering mission might require a 4-wheel drive vehicle, another a spacious van - the SkyRAY antenna subsystem series will always meet your ever-changing requirements.  Integrating this system with the JVC Libre Wireless HD Camera System allows the NewsCaster to become the most versatile SNG vehicle available.
“The NewsCaster has all the features needed for SNG and, when fully equipped, is one of the most the affordable solutions for the remote news gathering market. You no longer have to spend upwards of $500,000 to get the capabilities this solution offers. NewsCaster pricing starts at just over $200,000 fully equipped, and without compromising any capabilities or quality” said, Chan Mahon, President of TV Pro Gear. “NewsCaster utilizes the best of popular components and will appeal to a wide range of clients.”
