The Thor 8-Channel HD-SDI Encoder IPTV Streamerfrom Thor 8-Channel HD-SDI Encoder IPTV Streamerconverts eight channels of HD-SDI content input to ASI and IP outputs. Each of the eight encoders can be independently configured for bit rate and PID management. The encoder supports bit rates up to 19 Mb/s per channel. With high-level H.264 codec-based encoding, it is suitable for reducing the rack space required for HD program encoding for content source origination and distribution.

All the encoded programs are multiplexed to multi-program transport stream (MPTS) outputs on both ASI and IP. Additionally, single program transport stream (SPTS) outputs are provided for all inputs on the IP network output. All settings are available via the front panel as well as a web-based network management system. This encoder also provides a 1-channel ASI input that can multiplex one additional program to the outputs from an ASI source.

Q: 1. 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.

Q: 2. I'm thinking of buying the Solo. Does this mean I could have 2 Cellular Modems attached. Plus a Hard wired Ethernet connection Plus a Wifi Signal coming in? And could that WIFI signal be from my own iPhone being transmitted as a HotSpot? So Basically I'd have 4 input signals? And then I'd pay $45 a month for you to Bond all 4 of them and re-transmit that signal to the CDN of my choice?

A: We have used our Solo with 2 USB modems, AT&T & Verizon. We also use an AT&T hotspot to give us a third. It is always good to use two different carriers. But if you have a strong cell signal, most can support many different mobile devices.

Q: 3. Do 5G USB modems exist? Looking at LiveU devices but wondering if they exist at all.

A: The LiveU LU300S Encoder Field Unit with 4 x 4G/5G Modems BH #LILU300S5G4G • MFR #LU300S-5G-2-4G-2 comes with 4 x 4G/5G modems.

Q: 4. Does the LiveU Solo ship with a universal power adaptor? Meaning if I brought here could I use in Australia straight out of the box?

A: The LiveU Solo ships with a U.S. power adaptor. You would need a US to Australia power converter to use it in that country. Thank you for your question.

Q: 5. Can I live-stream video to some platforms (Wowza, Facebook, ...) without your bonding ( like other encoders: VidiU Pro, Broadcaster Pro, ... ) ?

A: Yes, The LRT (which includes bonding) can be disabled. To do so click the toggle switch Labeled LRT . This can be located by click the orange destination cloud under the Modes tab.This will allow the unit to operate in Direct RTMP mode which will only utilize one connection and send the RTMP stream directly to your destination.

Q: 6. This camera has an ethernet plug. Can this camera be powered with power over ethernet camera? (PoE)?

A: The Thor 1080p 3G/HD-SDI/HDMI/IP Streaming Box Camera with 20x Optical Zoom does not support POE power.

Q: 7. Does this unit bond the download as well. If I am downloading content onsite will i get the use of all attached internet sources?

A: Unfortunately, the LiveU Solo does not bond the download.

Q: 8. necesito configurar una pc para la recepcion de esta transmision con camara?

A: El Live U es su propio codificador. Se puede transmitir sin estar conectado a una computadora. Si necesitara la subscripcion para el cloud. El siguiente es algo que recomendamos: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1471134-REG/liveu_lu_solo_bundle_solo_sdi_hdmi_video_audio_encoder.html

Q: 9. The $45 monthly fee is for bonding, then I need cellular subscriptions as well? I add the sim cards to the LiveU Solo? How many can I add?

A: You will have to pay for a cellular subscription as well as the bonding fee. The bonding allows you to connect 2 Cellular Networks along with 1 WiFi and 1 Ethernet Signal. You can connect 2 Cellular Modems.

Q: 10. LiveU Solo - What other cost is incurred to use this Product? A monthly Fee? How much?

A: In order to utilize the bonding technology of LiveU Reliable Transport, LRT, which bonds multiple connections (2 cellular, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi) a monthly cost of $45 is required. The cellular USB modems are sold separately and usually require a Data Plan.You can utilize the device as a one connection RTMP encoder for no extra cost.
