Curiosity of human beings about mysterious oceans never stops in the history, and so do our ocean explorations. To disseminate marine science knowledge and ideas and to promote scientific ocean exploration, National Laboratory for Marine Science and Technology, together with Science Popularization Center of China Association for Science and Technology, held a “Marine Scientific Exploration Live Broadcast Class” program on September 17, 2017, i.e. the National Science Day as a part of the activities in Beijing.
Through the general scientific exploration ship platform of National Laboratory for Marine Science and Technology, this “Marine Scientific Exploration Live Broadcast Class” established a science exploration video communication link with scientific exploration ships in the “two oceans and one sea” (west Pacific Ocean, South China Sea, Indian Ocean) and Bohai Sea area. The live contents are also made available to the public through “Science China”, “Tencent Broadcasting”, “Campus e-station”, and “Blue Eyes”.
This is the first time for National Laboratory for Marine Science and Technology to establish a communication link with science exploration fleets, and also the first time for domestic organizations to create a video communication channel with the fleets. The first “Marine Scientific Exploration Live Broadcast Class” feasted the audience throughout the nation with vivid and lively scenes, turning boring knowledge into immersive experience.
Considering absence of 4G coverage on the sea, how could a professional live broadcast system be built?
To complete this video communication program, our technicians boarded Dongfanghong 2 scientific exploration ship, which was designated as the main live broadcasting platform, together with reporter Yu Jie, bringing with them Cogent portable transmission devices. Cogent portable devices required no complicated installation steps and could be operated easily after startup. The perfect collaboration between these devices and maritime satellite transmission link ensured smooth live broadcasting of operation conditions and results of the scientific exploration ships, displaying the on-site views in front of the audience.
The chief scientist was introducing mission of the science exploration ship to students in the “Marine Scientific Exploration Live Broadcast Class”
For live broadcasting on the sea, the waves and any unfavorable weather conditions may lead to serious risks. Yet these challenges were overcome. Thanks to their excellent environment adaptability and optimized maritime satellite transmission function, the Cogent transmission products of CSS Group accomplished the tasks successfully by exhibiting great transmission performance in extreme conditions with unstable satellite network transmission. Whether in roaring waves or on tranquil water, all pictures taken completely met requirements for news live broadcasting.
