Mobile Broadcast Encoder for Remote Live Streaming over multiple 4G

Ikusnet2 BP (Back Pack) is a new robust and portable unidirectional HEVC/H.265 video encoder that can transmit live video from remote locations, connects directly to the camera, and carried easily within a backpack. Built for ease of use and high reliability, it can be used for a range of remote broadcast live streaming applications such as journalists for live news reporting or used for live sports within a remote production environment. By having the ability to mix cellular, Satcom and Wi-Fi connections, this cost-effective 4G bonding encoder for live streaming can be fully remotely managed meaning users such as journalists do not need to be highly technical to operate.

Features include: –

Bonding of up to 10 different IP network connections – Available connections include 1x Ethernet, 1x Wi-Fi, 6x 3G/4G internal modems, or 8x 3G/4G external modems, and assures the best possible network utilization for reliability when live streaming. It reduces latency and secures the connection against packet losses.

Ease of operation – The Ikusnet2 BP range of 4G broadcast encoders are intuitive to operate, and can be controlled either from a touch panel screen, or remotely via the web interface. This touch panel allows the user to control and monitor the encoder complete with a full-screen preview of the video signal from the camera.

Remote Management – Ikusnet2 BP can be entirely remotely controlled and monitored via the Prodys ControlPlus application. In addition, comprehensive definable presets allow the units to be setup in advance, so that non-technical users can accomplish live broadcasts quickly and easily.

Bidirectional IFB/Talkback audio channel  – this allows the reporter/ camera operator and the Studio to communicate on a separate talkback channel via the video encoder.
