Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. With LRT Subscription, It provides Internet too? or do we still need to provide sources like Modems/WiFi?

A: The LiveU LRT Cloud Bonding Annual Service (Download) does not provide internet but is a service for the LiveU Solo SDI/HDMI Video/Audio Encoder that combines multiple connections, like WiFi, ethernet, and two cellular modems, to have a robust and reliable connection for streaming. Ethernet and WiFi are provided with the LiveU Solo SDI/HDMI Video/Audio Encoder, but cellular modems are an additional expense. An example of a product is the LiveU Solo Connect 2-Modem Bundle for Solo Video Encoder. See the link below: https://bhpho.to/3ZalJax

Q: 2. Can this unit connect to wifi without a USB modem connected? We are looking to connect as wifi only. No bonding. No direct wire connection to a modem.

A: The unit also has a CAT5 connection. And if you are at a difficult site, you can mix all 3.

Q: 3. Do I need to pay a licence or another extra for bonding?

A: Yes, bonding is a technology built into LRT (LiveU Reliable Transport). You can purchase the bundle which includes the Solo Unit and one year of LRT from the B&H store or if you wish you can purchase the unit without LRT and purchase it month to month you register it on our portal.

Q: 4. Does the Solo do bonding without the LRT service? I know the Solo can be used without LRT, but is there any form of bonding without LRT? It's not clear to me from reading the LiveU Solo Expert responses.

A: Thats good question. I bought a solo from B&H. It was cheaper at 995 bucks without LRT.Upon firing up the unit for the first streaming it pumped me right into LRT. I checked out my account and it said I'd purchased it from another source.I dont have any record of that but I'm using it anyway.

Q: 5. Does this hook up directly to internet/YouTube or to a laptop and from there to internet-YouTube?

A: This connects directly to youtube, etc through an internet connection. It does not need a laptop to function in the field. We have used a cellular usb modem, direct Cat5 internet connection, wifi, and a Cradlepoint cellular device to access the internet with no issues. We start the stream by accessing the Solo website with a smartphone. The events can be pre-configured using a pc but its not required. I hope this helps and we highly recommend using the LiveU Solo.

Q: 6. Does the equipment come with a power charger and extension cables for internet modems? What exactly is in this package? What is the virtual cloud server? What is the difference of this package with the one that costs 1849 dollars?

A: Hi bamk R. Yes it comes with a power connection and everything you see here. The package you are looking at is for our Solo HDMI bundle. The cloud server is where we do our bonding, apply our panted LRT (LiveU Reliable Transport) algorithm to the signal for the highest possible quality stream. The main difference between this and the more expensive one is the connections on the unit. The higher priced model has both HDMI and SDI inputs. Hope this answers your questions.
