Supporting 4K and HEVC capabilities, LiveU’s new Solo PRO portable bonding encoder combines up to six IP connections, including four 4G/5G cellular modems, WiFi and LAN. The encoder leverages LiveU’s LRT (LiveU Reliable Transport) technology and can be deployed for any type of live event coverage, both indoors and outdoors.
Dan Pisarski, Chief Technical Officer, LiveU, explained, "Our goal was to deliver a cutting-edge product that will service all streaming needs for years to come, including 4K, HEVC, and extreme reliability.
“I firmly believe that our users will find the Solo PRO is a future-proof investment for their workflow, providing peace of mind for their live streams using proven broadcast-quality technology."
LiveU Solo PRO can be used as part of an end-to-end real-time workflow, and users can go live directly from their camera/switcher to popular online platforms and any web destination.
Weighing just over 900g, the LiveU Solo PRO offers “exceptional video quality” in a compact and lightweight portable unit that can be taken anywhere. Streaming up to 4Kp60 resolution in H.264 or HEVC, the Solo PRO’s HEVC capability offers the same quality in half the bandwidth of H.264, or twice the quality in the same bandwidth.
LiveU is also offering an optional add-on streaming tools package, Solo Stream Tools, for faster go-to-live streaming productions. This cloud-based package offers the essential production toolbox, which includes multi-destination, allowing producers to simultaneously go live to multiple social platforms at the click of a button, stream fallback, allowing the switch to a predefined message, and the addition of a logo watermark for enhanced brand visibility.
