This introductory Premium Bundle includes everything you need to get started live streaming: LiveU Solo Video Encoder with one year LRT™ virtual cloud server. First year warranty and 2-Hour LiveU Internal battery included.   Cellular modems must be purchased separately. For use with virtual server only (no LiveU Central). No Data Bridge functionality.   LIVEU SOLO UNIT LiveU Solo offers the best-in-class ‘plug and play’ live streaming bonding solution, bringing LiveU’s broadcasting expertise to the online media market   RELIABLE TRANSPORT This robust and high-quality encoder is based on LiveU’s field-proven bonding technology, 10 industry patents, and integral LRT™ (LiveU Reliable Transport) protocol. Optimized for video performance, Solo delivers the rock-solid video streams LiveU is known for by using LRT’s integral adaptive bit rate and forward error correction technology.   FULLY INTEGRATED SOLUTION Designed to fit seamlessly with web streaming workflows, LiveU Solo connects automatically to Facebook, Wowza Streaming Cloud, as well as other popular CDNs, OVPs and YouTube Live. Solo can be managed and controlled remotely via a web interface or smartphone.   On the transmission side, and as part of the overall streaming solution, this small, easy-to-use encoder includes full bonding capabilities.   LRT™ CLOUD SERVICE   LiveU’s unique Reliable Transport protocol (LRT™) is at the heart of LiveU products to deliver optimized video performance. LRT enables reliable, low delay live video streaming over non-guaranteed IP networks and ensures reliable transport over the most unreliable of networks, including cellular networks - allowing you to acquire exciting live content in even the most remote locations.  
    • PACKET ORDERING LRT uses numbered packets so that the packets can be re-ordered when they arrive out of order. Packet Ordering is an absolute requirement with connection bonding, where data usually arrives in a different order than intended.
 
    • DYNAMIC FORWARD ERROR CORRECTION Forward Error Correction (FEC) adds some overhead to the stream to recover lost data faster. LRT automatically varies the FEC parameters based on monitored network conditions.
 
    • ACKNOWLEDGE AND RESEND LRT can acknowledge large groups of packets if they all arrived. If some did not arrive, it can inform the streaming engine to resend needed data. By acknowledging large groups of packets at a time, LRT uses less overhead and latency. Unlike UDP, LRT gives complete feedback loop so the user knows that the data is arriving correctly.
 
  • ADAPTIVE BIT RATE ENCODING As the bandwidth condition changes, LRT automatically recognizes this and informs the video encoder to allow it to adapt the bit rate of video it is delivering and keep the best possible stream within the available bandwidth at any given moment.
