## What is NewsCaster Mobile?

Anyone caught in the heart of the action with no news crew to hand can now film news footage on their iPhone and post it directly to their broadcaster’s newsroom using M-Link Newscaster Mobile from Livewire Digital. 

Ideal for filming events as they unfold, or using existing video files already saved on the iPhone, this brilliant app brings a new level of immediacy to online reports and news bulletins.

This application can be used with any FTP server but it is recommended for use with Livewire Digital M-Link Exchange with the HD Play-out to make use of all transmission improvements.
