Here is a great new device that news teams and broadcasters can use when they are on the road. The Sony Location Porter is designed for people doing on-site reporting yet don’t have access to a professional broadcast truck or equipment. Rather than rely on old-hand satellite technology, you can connect to the web or via a 3G connection to make that important broadcast in live streaming video.

You can plug any camcorder or live feed into the LocationPorter, and your video will be converted to H.264 MPEG-4 on the fly, so it can be easily streamed. On a single 3G connection your footage gets smooshed down to a 352×240, 5 to 15fps stream (64 to 160kbps) but the device can actually use two simultaneous 3G connections to boost the data stream up to 320kbps. And when connected to a LAN, the video can be streamed up to 30fps.
