Watch as KOMO 4 reporter Joel Moreno streamed from Stevens Pass, Washington using the Streambox Live iPhone App. When both the news crew’s van and satellite truck were out of service due to heavy snow, Joel was able to use his Streambox Live App to send a report on-air from the pass. Video was streamed at 512 kbps to the studio in Seattle.
Streambox today announced two major updates to all hardware and software products within the Streambox acquisition platform of professional video encoders and decoders. The Streambox Platform now showcases advanced HD video scaling and automated NTSC or PAL format selection. These new breakthrough features will enable Streambox users to enhance the quality of their video content, while improving efficiency by streamlining their video transport workflow. Advanced video scaling will give Streambox users the ability to capture video in the field at much lower resolution from an iPhone, iPad 2, or Android device, and automatically transcode the video at the studio end, upscaling to full HD resolution fixed output for high quality broadcast results. NTSC or PAL format selection will enable Streambox users to simplify the format conversion process by automatically outputting the preferred format, bypassing the time-consuming step of transcoding the video with a third party product. Advanced video scaling and NTSC or PAL format selection will be integrated into the entire Streambox acquisition platform.
The Streambox Live Mobile Encoder (StreamboxME) for Android devices is now available to download in the Android Marketplace. StreamboxME is a professional video encoding application that works with the cloud-based Streambox Live video sharing service to deliver high quality live and archived video over 3G/4G, Wi-Fi, or satellite IP network connections. Using this application, reporters and contributors can send high quality live and file-based breaking news video from mobile devices using the Streambox Live App to any broadcast station around the world.
Watch the video above to see CNN using our Streambox Live Mobile Encoder App for iPhone to report live from Libya. iPhone video was sent to a fixed output decoder where it was upconverted to 1080i and played live on the air.
