GoPro, Inc.
,
enabler of some of today's most engaging content, today announced the launch
of HEROCast™, the smallest, lightest, and most cost-efficient wireless HD
micro transmitter to hit the broadcast market. Developed with Vislink, the
HEROCast transmitter enables professional broadcasters to deliver engaging,
live content with immersive POV footage and unique perspectives that are
synonymous with GoPro. HEROCast integrates with GoPro cameras and its
ecosystem of mounts, and delivers the most versatile, mountable broadcast
solution available and transmits high definition 1080/60fps and 720/60fps
video using H.264 encoding with low glass-to-glass latency.

"GoPro is driven to enable people to capture their lives' most important
moments in the most immersive way possible, and it is that same motivation
that has propelled the development of HEROCast. We want to change the way
people see the events that are special to them. With HEROCast, broadcasters
can bring their audience closer to their events than ever before, just as
GoPro cameras have allowed people to uniquely share their lives with the
people around them," said GoPro President Tony Bates.
Live broadcasts by the NHL and ESPN X Games have proven HEROCast to be a
game-changer. ESPN brought viewers of the X Games Aspen 2015 closer than ever
to the incredible feats performed by the competing athletes. The NHL, in turn,
brought fans closer than ever to the elite level of the sport's best and
brightest during the 2015 Honda NHL All-Star Weekend.
"The relationship with GoPro and the launch of their HEROCast technology this
past X Games Aspen was a real success. The footage produced powerful visuals
that gave our fans a new way to experience the events. We look forward to
continued collaboration with GoPro in Austin, where we'll be able to build on
what we learned in Aspen," said Rich Feinberg, Vice President of ESPN
Production.
HEROCast is available as an independent unit that can be connected to a GoPro
camera via a lockable HDMI cable, which is optimal for body mounting and
engaging POV shots. HEROCast BacPac directly connects to housing of a GoPro
camera, delivering an integrated, water-resistant* solution for immersive live
action footage. Both configurations are compatible with HERO4 and HERO3+ Black
cameras, carry up to an estimated 40 minutes of battery life** (may be powered
externally for extended use), and deliver industry-standard wireless broadcast
at a fraction of the cost of comparable equipment.
