CableJive’s New Media Page Is Live!

CableJive has been getting a lot of coverage lately. Don’t get us wrong, we love it! In fact, we’re so excited about it, that we decided to make it even easier to find all the latest CableJive news & media!

You may have noticed that our old “Press” page is gone. In its place, you will find our brand-new Media page, which is broken down into 4 sections:

  • The “News” section is where you’ll find new & old media coverage of everything CableJive. Previews, reviews, and everything in between.
  • The “Press Releases” section is where you can catch all our major “official” announcements.
  • In the “Hi-Res Images” section, you can get the cleanest, sharpest images of all our new products. If you’re in the media, include them in your CableJive coverage. If you’re just a fan, use them as desktop wallpapers. We won’t judge ; )
  • And lastly, you can find all of our CableJive Videos in the “Videos” section.

Head on over and check it out!

ProJive Instrument: 1/4″ Guitar & More on iPhone, iPod, or iPad


Just as I did with the ProJive XLR cable last month,
I filmed a quick video showing how easy it is to connect the ProJive Instrument cable to play and record an electric guitar through an iPad, all while sending the audio out through a separate speaker system. See for yourself, then get yours and get-to rockin’!

dockStubz: The Problem Solver – Episode 2

The dockStubz is a handy little product that can be used in many different ways. Our dockStubz: The Problem Solver video series highlights some of the ways this little adapter can be used to fix some annoying issues you may be experiencing with your iPod or iPhone. Episode 1 focused on how the dockStubz can help get your encased iPod or iPhone connected with your favorite speakers systems or other accessories without having to remove said case. In Episode 2, we display the dockStubz’s “charge conversion” functionality, and how it can help get your newer iPod and iPhone devices charging with older docks and systems. Check it out and tell us what you think!

dockStubz TPS Episode 2 Coming Soon!

Apologies for the lack of fresh posts lately. I’ve been working on the next episode of our dockStubz: The Problem Solver series. Episode 2 will feature the dockStubz’s charge conversion functionality, as you may have been able to gather from the image above (which is an actual screenshot from the episode). We finished filming it late last week, and now I’m on to editing. Stay tuned for the finished product, coming in the next week or two.

dockStubz: The Problem Solver – Episode 1

At the end of Tuesday’s blog post, I mentioned that the first entry in our new “dockStubz: The Problem Solver” video series would be released within the next week or so. Well, I’m happy to report that I was able to get it finished sooner than that. Without further ado, here’s Episode 1:

Improvements To The CableJive Media Department

As a tech junkie and digital media enthusiast, few things capture my attention like new gear. So when we got the OK for certain upgrades to the CableJive media department (namely: camera, amongst other things), I couldn’t wait to dive in and put the days of shooting on mini-DV behind me forever! Not surprisingly, we were on the hunt for the best image quality at a reasonable price. With the high quality HD video current DSLRs can capture, and their dual-usability for various company-related photography, it seemed obvious to start looking there.

I had recent personal experience shooting with the Canon T2i and was blown away at the quality HD video it delivered. And for the money, it’s practically unmatched. Still, I continued my research, but quickly it became clear that the T2i was the camera for us. I shopped around for various deals, but as I have found in the past, B&H is rarely beaten. This was quickly affirmed again in this case, and an order for a T2i w/ EF-S 18-55mm IS Zoom Lens Kit (along with a few other accessories) was placed. A few days later, a big ole’ box arrived in the office, and a brand new T2i was in my hands!

Shortly thereafter, I began pre-production on a new video series featuring the dockStubz. That video, which christened CableJive’s T2i, and is the first entry into the series “dockStubz: The Problem Solver” will be available for your viewing pleasure within the next week or so. Stay tuned for the finished product!

dockStubz helping out at the 2011 Tokyo Marathon!

Joseph Tame describes himself as “a big Apple fan that likes to push their products to the limit.” As it turns out, he doesn’t just talk a good game.

This time last year he grabbed a few iPhones, external batteries, and a Wi-Fi router, and headed off to run the 2010 Tokyo Marathon. He then proceeded to broadcast his entire 26-mile trek live with more than 13,000 people tuning in by the end of the race. Finishing what was his first full marathon in 5 hours and 7 minutes, Tame may not have won, but he had successfully broken new ground for live web broadcasting, making national news in the process.

For 2011, using a new custom rig (pictured), Joseph is going even bigger. In addition to various other upgrades to this year’s broadcast, Wahoo Fitness provided him with a heart monitor which will post live updates to the website as he goes. This particular feature is where the dockStubz comes in to lend a helping hand.

The sensor used by Wahoo’s heart monitor connects to the iPhone’s 30-pin connector. With that plugged in, he would not be able to use any external batteries to power the phone. For this kind of broadcast, in a marathon that takes over 5 hours to run, he needs to be able to connect additional power to his iPhone. Using the dockStubz, Joseph will be able to have the heart monitor sensor connected to it’s 30-pin connector, while injecting the additional power he needs via it’s mini-USB port on the side, allowing him to add an extra level of depth to his broadcast, while ensuring he’ll have to power to do so.

As a company, we pride ourselves in making products that solve unique issues, and we’re thrilled that we were able to help Joseph’s rig meet its potential. We wish him all the best for his broadcast as he takes it to the next level!

To follow Joseph’s journey, go to http://tm2011.com/. And don’t forget to tune in this Saturday night, Feb 26th @ 6 PM EST, to watch the live broadcast!
