LiveBox

Product Summary

LiveBox is a solution that gives you the ability your own live broadcasts from just about any venue or location.

LiveBox combines hardware (LU200 or LU500), software (Viostream Live) and professional services to give you the tools and knowledge to self service your live requirements.

There are two options: LU200 or LU500. Each solution combines a bonded network up-link solution (hardware) and professional services to integrate with your Viostream Account as well as training and support, all of which give you the ability to publish a live stream to an embed player or Viostream site. 

Inclusions

Equipment

Either the LiveU200 or LU500 need to included as a part of the agreement. The LU product range comprises a suite of 3G/4G bonded uplink devices that are connected to a dedicated LU2000 MMH server within AWS.

The CDN outputs of the MMH server are limited to 3 bitrates only and are only available as per the resolutions/bitrates as per the table below. If custom presets are required, this is an additional cost. When using CDN output, 3xRTMP streams are sent to Akamai Media Delivery for HLS/HDS Universal output. 

If SDI out is required, Viocorp can facilitate the provisioning of a dedicated physical server (either within Viocorp’s data center or the clients infrastructure). Please note that if SDI output is being used, then an encoder is also required which is not part of this solution.

Details on Hardware options:

LiveU200

The LiveU200 is a compact, lightweight device that enables you to transmit high-quality HD/SD video from diverse locations, while adapting to dynamic network conditions. The LU200 provides two internal cellular modems. In addition, two external cellular modems can be connected via USB for a total of four interfaces on the unit.

After the LU200 powers up, it dials (connects) its modems to various networks and combines their bandwidth into a single consolidated broadband uplink connection. The LU200 can then encode incoming video into an H.264 stream and transmit it over the aggregated bandwidth. It can be seamlessly connected to most commercially available cameras and comes with an easy-to-use interface.

LiveU500

The LU500 is a compact lightweight device that enables you to transmit high-quality HD/SD video from diverse locations, while adapting to dynamic network conditions. The LU500 supports 8x Internal 4G (LTE, WiMAX) and 3G cellular, can be seamlessly connected to most commercially available cameras and comes with an easy-to-use touchscreen interface.

The LU500 encodes incoming video into an H.264 stream and transmit it over the aggregated bandwidth.

Note: The H.264 AVC high profile supports a 4:2:0 color space.
