Abstract
A method of remotely uploading recordings of live events to a broadcast station includes: a) recording live events at remote locations using a plurality of electronic news gathering (ENG) units, each of the live events being recorded by one of the ENG units as a signal; b) each of the ENG units encoding the signal into a data stream; c) assigning a priority level to each of the data streams; d) transmitting the data streams of the ENG units to the broadcast station through at least one base station, wherein the transmission of the data streams is prioritized based on the assigned priority levels; and e) receiving and decoding the data streams at the broadcast station.
