In an era where live streaming is a fundamental part of many broadcast productions, the Ikusnet2 BP portable backpack encoder from Prodys is a highly versatile and easy-to-use device for high-quality live streaming back to the broadcast center. This cutting-edge device offers a leap forward in flexibility and efficiency, eliminating the need for OB trucks and enabling seamless live broadcasting from virtually anywhere.
Cutting-Edge Technology for Seamless Broadcasting
The Ikusnet2 BP is engineered with an array of advanced features designed to cater to a wide range of broadcasting needs. Equipped with state-of-the-art bonded technology, it supports more network connections than similar competitive devices, including 3G, 4G, LAN, Wi-Fi, as well as 5G routers and satellite via an Ethernet port.
The bonding capability is a standout feature of the Ikusnet2 BP, allowing the aggregation of up to 10 different IP network connections. This 4G bonded encoder entails superior network utilization, minimizes latency, and secures transmissions against packet losses, delivering high-quality video in real-time.
This array of connections ensures robust and reliable connectivity for live streaming, which is especially critical in isolated remote environments or when using public cellular networks that can be unpredictable. Built to be lightweight and portable, the encoder can be easily integrated into live reporting workflows.
User-Friendly Interface and Remote Operation
Designed with the user in mind, the Ikusnet2 BP is remarkably easy to operate, thanks to its intuitive touch panel screen and integrated web interface. These functionalities permit users to control and monitor the encoder with a full-screen preview of the incoming video signal, making setup and operation stress-free even for non-technical users.
Remote management further enhances usability. The ProdysControlPlus application allows complete remote control and monitoring of the encoder, providing broadcasters with the flexibility to manage operations from a distance. Comprehensive definable presets are available to pre-configure the unit for quick deployment during live broadcasts.
Immediate Communication and Reliability
The inclusion of a bidirectional Intercom Feed Back (IFB) /Talkback audio channel significantly elevates its utility by allowing seamless communication between the reporter and the studio. This feature ensures immediate feedback and coordination during live broadcasts, which is crucial for accurate news reporting.
Moreover, the Ikusnet2 BP supports multiple streaming protocols, including BRAVE™, MPEG-TS, and RTMP, along with error prevention techniques such as Forward Error Correction (FEC) and Active Packet Recovery to handle packet loss effectively. These protocols, accompanied by real-time network monitoring tools and automatic jitter buffer adaptation, ensure stable and high-quality transmissions even in challenging network conditions.
