Teradek Bond HDMI Live Event Bundle

Bond Multiplexer

Live streaming from any location with adequate cellular coverage

Uses up to five 3G or 4G USB modems to provide a single high-bandwidth link for streaming high-definition videos over the Internet via a web streaming service

Adaptive Internet Streaming technology ensures that your content is delivered reliably and at the highest quality possible

Sputnik software aggregates the split-up video streams, reconstructing everything in sync and in proper sequence. The software also can be set to stream directly to the web (via Ustream, Akamai, Livestream, and more), stream to a decoder (sold separately), or record the stream

Low-power hardware-based video compression and advanced streaming options like MPEG-TS, RTMP, etc. This bundle comes with a MPEG-TS license for direct broadcast playout from the decoder

Bond is a lightweight multiplexer that weighs less than 7 oz (200 g) and is about the size of a deck of cards

Operates on 6-28VDC power supply

Cube 250 Encoder

Camera-top HD video encoder – sends H.264 video to the Bond device via a USB connection

HD-SDI input for accepting the signal of any professional camcorder with HD-SDI output

Line-of-sight WiFi range up to 300' (91 m) for quick streaming of HD videos. Dual-band WiFi (2.4/5.8 GHz) for monitoring to devices such as tablets

Users can start broadcasting by entering Livestream details into encoder's user interface – a free 30-day membership for a premium channel on Livestream is included with every purchase of Cube

Direct streaming to decoding devices such as a laptop or iPad is offered via the ad-hoc networking mode which eliminates the need for any other intermediary equipment

Web interface features a setup wizard to simplify configuration

You can create a network, log on to Cube's web interface, complete the setup wizard, and start streaming video after connecting video to the Cube system

H.264 high-profile (level 4.1) video compression enables high video quality at lower bit rates

A built-in scaler can be employed to downscale 1080-line video to lower resolutions (720, 480, or 240). Users can choose target bit rates (2-4 Mb/s for HD; sub-1 Mb/s for SD) and a video resolution as required based on available IP bandwidth

End-to-end latency is only 1/8 to 1/2 second

Compact design – about the size of a deck of playing cards

Mounts to a rod system, a cage, a hot shoe, or a camera baseplate

Tested extensively with camera systems such as RED ONE, Arri Alexa, and Panavision Genesis

Sputnik Aggregation Software

Sputnik is Teradek's software interface between Bond and your streaming destination. Sputnik is designed to run on a Linux computer either in the cloud (using Amazon's EC2 services, for instance) or on a local server with a single, publically addressable TCP port. Sputnik recombines the various video feeds from Bond into a cohesive stream that can then be sent to an H.264 decoder or played back online
