LiveU satellite uplink trucks providing you with business flexibility
If you report news or events through livestreamed connect for added excitement and immersion you need satellite trucks to enable live streams to be streamed from anywhere, even places without a cellular reception. The great thing about satellite trucks is that all they need is line of sight to a satellite to stream coverage. The challenge however is that satellite data is expensive and as line of sight is needed heavy cloud coverage and adverse weather conditions can cause signal loss. LiveU satellite uplink trucks however use both satellite and bonded cellular to get coverage sent with the system switching between the two communication methods automatically, saving a company significant amounts of money. As these two systems are the only way to get data from one place to another for activities for livestreaming, if you can’t do it with LiveU satellite uplink trucks odds are you won’t be able to transmit with any other method.
Hybrid Satellite Solutions; providing total coverage
LiveU satellite uplink trucks use low profile technology for both the satellite and IP system, with encoder and production controls smaller than ever before. This means that you can have a small truck and still have space for a production member to edit the feed with labels in the truck or allow a production team to do it remotely before it gets to the end viewers. This is only possible through using an integrated worldwide hosting platform that is cloud based and enables you to quickly set up live streams in a few minutes. Whole encoders may have a one button transmission option to speed up the transition process. This is useful for live streaming crews that know exactly where the livestream will go, from social media platforms to business websites.
LiveU satellite uplink trucks when using IP use a technology called bonded cellular internet, this means multiple connections to an IP provider is achieved and if one drops signal strength or data transfer rate the other takes up the slack; this means that you never livestream a lagging or granular picture. When compared side by side picture quality between bonded and non-bonded IP is visibly different.
Modular and Scalable Technology
LiveU satellite uplink trucks can be fitted with permanent or non-permanent satellite systems that can be reduced in size on the back of a pickup truck for example allowing for better fuel economy and convenient storage when unmounted. Encoders used for these satellite-bonded cellular hybrid systems are conveniently small and can either be rack mounted in the back of the truck’s cabin or more discreetly mounted under a seat. Encoders take the video feed from the camera and encodes it to a transmittable format and allows the data to be sent successfully. Devices such as laptops and camera phones have video encoders built in however as they do not specialize in video encoding there is usually a compromise in transfer speed or bandwidth. Dedicated encoders are designed to connect to your hosting solution and in the case of LiveU this is conveniently cloud based allowing for users to login, add a product’s serial code to link it to the account and select the service that the livestream that the signal needs to get to. This modular and scalable solution enables individuals and teams to create professional level livestreams. LiveU satellite uplink trucks also have a hotspot allowing a better reach and flexibility for camera operators; this technology again works on bonded cellular.
Summary
If you are looking to quickly get started in satellite and IP based transmission LiveU satellite uplink trucks are a great way to create professional livestreaming results for sports events, business events and extreme coverage. No matter what you want to livestream from satellite trucks you can do it with robust hybrid technology.
