How Does LiveU Solo HDMI Work
LiveU Solo HDMI has an HDMI video input and a number of ways to connect to the internet: 2 x Cellular network
connections via 4G USB dongles, 1 x Ethernet port for LAN connections and 1 x WiFi connection.
• When the encoder is switched on, it will try to connect to the internet via the strongest or bonded (LRT™)
connection method.
• When the transmission is started, the encoder sends packets of data over all interfaces that it can connect to the
internet via to the Cloud server.
• The Cloud server then sends back rate control information to LiveU Solo HDMI.
• LiveU Solo HDMI then knows in real-time what the jitter, packet loss, latency, round trip delay, and all the
parameters of each individual connection are, and then it uses algorithms to decide how to send the video to the
server; such as bitrate and resolution, and then which connections to use.
• Once the packets arrive at the Cloud server, they are pieced back together to make up the video. The encoder will
adjust which connection to use to send the data packets to ensure the highest consistent quality.
If you are intending to use video streaming in a location where there is no Ethernet or strong and stable WiFi connection,
it will be necessary to use 4G USB dongles.
Compatible USB Dongles
Due to user preferences and regional variances we do not supply a modem with the LiveU Solo, this will need to be
arranged separately from a third party, but they are readily available. There are a variety of options for the telecom
providers and services that can be used, please consult the
for more information on compatability.
USB modems will need to include the option to change the IP address in order to avoid conflicts which could result in
them not working correctly. It is recommended to buy two 4G data SIM cards from two different providers (e.g.Vodafone
and EE). In total you could need up to 2.5 GB/hour for maximum quality, so make sure you have enough data to cover
this amount between the two SIM cards.
