Would you add this to your live streaming setup?
...you had me at "bonding"👍
I've added it and I brought mine from B&H some months ago.
GOOD MORNING, I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS: LIVEU SOLO 1) DOES IT TRANSMIT ONLY TO ONE SOCIAL NETWORK OR TWO SIMULTANEOUSLY? 2) DON'T TRANSMIT TO INSTAGRAM?? 3) EVERY TIME YOU GO DO LIVE DO YOU HAVE TO CONFIGURE URL CODES AND KEYS ON THE PC?
The LiveU Solo by itself can only live stream to one platform at a time. It streams to multiple platforms you will need to use one of the LiveU Solo's integrated partners like Restream.io or Switchboard Live.
At this time there is no information that says the LiveU Solo can live stream to Instagram. I will mostly not be able to.
To go live you do a one-time setup when you first get the LiveU Solo. You create an account with them and that is where you connect all the platforms you want to live stream to. Check out this information page from LiveU Solo on how to get started with your first live stream: bhpho.to/43nDA09
Using this with Switcher Studio would be great😊
Awesome & Thanks :)
Thank you for this video. I have been looking at LiveU Solo for a good while. Perhaps, it's time now.
It's great. Especially if you use their LRT Bonding. It's pricey but worth it to me. I bond AT&T, Verizon, & T-mobile
can we set it up to Ultra Low Latency? Maybe 2-5 seconds delay on youtube?
Can I plug a laptop into the ethernet port to be able to access the internet?
So do I need to buy the bonding service or can I just use the WiFi from my phones hotspot?
You can use just the wifi. The bonding service is for using all point of internet at the same time, so if one fails there's a back up so your livestream won't dropout.
@@BandHperfect, now I got another question 🙋♂️ how long does the internal battery last realistically and you said in the video that we can use powerbank to charge it but do we need a power bank which will have the plug thing or can the device be charged with usb ? Thanks
Do you get paid for doing a go solo streaming
Thank you for this video! This is probably a silly question but lets say I get the Live U Solo and two modems, do I need to purchase two seperate Data plans from for example T mobile or Verizon? If I use the sim card that is in my phone, would that mean I need to purchase another data plan in order to use my phone for the browser set up?
yes, you will need two separate data plans for each modems. That way if one of the two becomes unstable you have the second data plan as a back up so your stream doesn't fail.
@@BandH thank you! What data plans did you all use for this demo? Any you would recommend?
0:43 is that built in wifi something you can connect too?
Are the modems a requirement? Also, would anything additional need to be bought if I planned to use this outside of the US?
The modems are required if you want to connect the LiveU Solo using cellular data. If you are planning to use this outside the US, all you need are sim cards that are used in the country you are trying to stream from. Just put the sim card in each modem and you'll be able to connect it with cellular data.
nice
Can I give input from my console, i want to stream from ps5 usin this , along with camara input. To Facebook and twitch
The LiveU Solo HDMI Video/Audio Encoder will not accept the HDCP encoded signal from the PS5 console. >Mark
Can the LiveU Solo unit be used to tether to my ATEM mini pro or extreme to stream directly from the ATEM?
The LiveU Solo can connect to this setup, as a output to a switcher for transport or a camera output. >Mark
Hello, I have a question. Can this unit be set up on a switch board for multi camera use?
The LiveU Solo HDMI Video/Audio Encoder
- BH #LILUSOLOHDMI is designed for connection directly into a network. >Mark
Thanks for the info. Dough, Can this device connect to Livestream Studio HD550? or any other LiveU live switcher - for a combination of live and studio works? Ta
The LiveU Solo is the final component to connect to the internet. The Livestream Studio HD550 can send content from its HDMI or SDI outputs to the LiveU Solo. >Mark
Is there anything out there that just does the network bonding? (exactly like the LiveU)
I'm planning on using the built-in encoder of my Atem mini to stream, all I need is a reliable connection that can bond multiple connections (ideally something cheaper than the LiveU as I don't require the encoding feature).
There's not really any cheap internet bonding hardware solutions that can give you a normal internet connection out there from my knowledge, I have the Teradek link pro, but that costs quite a bit. The atem's can switch between networks in a drop out, so if you have your mobile connected via usb-c it can use your phones net just incase your LAN drops out. So that's one solution as a back up
There is a software bonding solution called Speedify, but I'm not sure if it would work if you're trying to stream directly from the atem. You'd have to do some research or test it out. But if it works, that would be the best solution
Whats the story with the LiveU LU300? Nobody uses or sells it but its been out since 2019...
The LiveU Lu300 is currently unavailable. The manufacturer is not shipping it at the present time. >Mark
so how would i use this with OBS? would i need to set up an RTMP server?
The LiveU Solo Live Steam Encoder connects to WiFi and Etnernet, or can use USB modems and can send a signal to the RUclips or any other RTMP destination.
Why not just stream directly from a cell phone?
some people may need a more professional set up for their stream, the LiveU Solo allows them that option.
@@BandH What makes it more professional? More than one camear angle basically?
Do you have to pay LiveU for an account to process the video through their system?
No, but their LRT bonding service has a monthly ($48) or yearly ($450) fee.
There is no charge. Network Bonding for Better Data Rates: LRT subscription: Starting at
$995.00. >Mark
@@BandH So if I do not want to use a bonded connection, I can use one stream source (wifi, ethernet, or cellular) and not pay for LRT service?
@@joelbrand9731 That is correct Joel! >Mark
@@joelbrand9731 You need to have a very solid 4G connection if you're running just one unbonded Sim Modem. At least 4 bars out of 5. We have run 6mbps via 4 bars of 4G, though we did on occasion get signal drop over a few hours of constant streaming.
What is the Sd card slot for?
The microSD slot is unused in the current version of Solo and is reserved for future functionality. No need to insert a microSD card today, your unit should do all its normal functions without one. >Mark
Hi
Could you point me where I could get my currently overlays to work through the solo? I heard there were apps.
Please e-mail us: askbh@bandh.com >Mark
no send
What if I need obs to add and mix different layers and graphic before I input into the LiveU solo? what's the solution?
Please e-mail us: askbh@bandh.com >Mark
Set up a custom RTMP ingest server then use OBS on a computer to grab the RTMP do the overlays then send it out from the computer. So you're doing 2 streams effectively. 1 raw stream from the liveu with whatever camera input it has. Your computer with OBS grabs that as a media input then you can add any overlays or whatever you want in there before hitting stream in OBS and sending out your final broadcast package.
y not just use a laptop?
When your live stream requires a robust, bonded connection that must not fail you want something better than just a laptop WBF.
The plug-and-play functionality, combined with the power of LiveU's Reliable Transport protocol (LRT), enables a simple setup for high-quality streaming video with versatile distribution options as well as stable transmission, even when operating in remote locations. If operating remotely, use the internal battery to power the Solo for approximately three hours. Plus, the compact form factor won't bog down your production by weighing down your camera. >Mark
@@BandH bruh, u can connect modem to a laptop though...
just get a laptop & usb modem lol
And it’s ludicrously expensive
How about just expensive... I've seen sillier devices go for a lot more.
You’re in the wrong business
