Start streaming high-quality HD video and audio with the LiveU Solo SDI HDMI Video Audio Encoderby connecting your camera or video device via SDI or HDMI. Leveraging LiveU's Cloud Service, you can easily broadcast to a large variety of content delivery networks, including YouTube Live, Facebook Live, Wowza, Ustream, and more, using bonded connectivity over dual cellular networks (requires separately available modems), Wi-Fi, or Ethernet.

The plug-and-play functionality, combined with the power of LiveU's Reliable Transport protocol (LRT), enables a simple setup for high-quality streaming video with versatile distribution options as well as stable transmission, even when operating in remote locations. If operating remotely, use the internal battery to power the Solo for approximately three hours. Plus, the compact form factor won't bog down your production by weighing down your camera.

This is the Solo video encoder only; cellular modems must be purchased separately or as part of a kit.

Q: 4. Ok so I read here that the Solo streams to the solo portal at a set 5 secs delay. The stream is then sent to whatever destination we requested. OK, with that said, does that mean there are additional latency delays? So a 5 second delay and then the destination delay? IF that is what I read what is the total delay for the latency? That might make it harder for LIVE Q&A engagement.. Thanks for any feedback

A: There may be additional delays depending on the strength of the network signal on the other end. However you would need to test this out to see what those additional delays may be.

Q: 5. Does the Solo only run off of its internal battery, or may it be powered via wall wart or other external power source?

A: You can use either. There is a 120 minute internal battery as well as a power cable.
