LiveU is bringing its broadcasting expertise to the online media market, by
launching its new “Plug and Play’ Solo live streaming bonding solution at market
price.
Designed to fit seamlessly with web streaming workflows, LiveU Solo connects
automatically to Wowza Streaming Cloud™, a cloud streaming service offered by
Wowza Media Systems™, as well as other popular CDNs, OVPs and YouTube Live.
Solo can be managed and controlled remotely via a web interface or smartphone.
LiveU Solo offers cloud streaming solution based on LiveU’s bonding technology, ten
industry patents, and integral LRT™ (LiveU Reliable Transport™) protocol.
Optimised for video performance, Solo delivers the solid video streams LiveU is
known for by using LRT’s integral adaptive bit rate and forward error correction
technology.
On the transmission side, and as part of the overall streaming solution, this small,
easy-to-use encoder is available in a single channel streaming configuration or with
premium full bonding capabilities.
“LiveU Solo is a cost-effective and seamless way to send contribution video over
the internet to Wowza Streaming Cloud,’ said David Stubenvoll, CEO and co-founder
of Wowza Media Systems.
Samuel Wasserman, LiveU’s CEO, said, “In discussions with our customers, we saw
a growing need for a professional-grade live video product for the online media
market. Our goal is to offer a simple integrated solution to sports and other vertical
markets, which is much more powerful.’
Wasserman continued, “Working in close collaboration with Wowza, LiveU Solo is
aimed at any live online media production looking to improve their viewers’
experience.’
LiveU owns the patent for cellular bonding used today for remote news gathering in
the US and in other countries. All LiveU products are based on this fourth-
generation patented technology.
