Streambox Live Pro, an enhanced version of Streambox Live, is a scalable software-based encoder that enables broadcasters to capture breaking news stories with professional quality ad hoc broadcasting content.
CTV used Streambox Live on an iPad 2 to stream live from the scene of a tragic accident on HWY400 in Toronto, Cananda. No trucks were allowed to drive North on the highway, but a CTV cameraman was nearby with the StreamboxME App installed on his iPad 2. He set up the iPad 2 and Vericorder XLR adapter cable and was able to do inteviews on-site with the Provincial Police to broadcast to CP24′s show.
Streambox Live Pro Encoder will make its debut at IBC 2011; this enhanced version of Streambox Live will give users the ability to take advantage of uncapped bandwidth, full D1 resolution, and Advanced Audio Coding (AAC). With emerging 4G cellular networks, Streambox Live Pro Encoder will utilize more available bandwidth on cellular networks to send professional quality video. Streambox Live Pro enables broadcasters to enhance breaking news stories with ad hoc broadcasting content supplied by a variety of contributors including video journalists and stringers. At the front end, the cornerstone of this scalable software-based solution is the Streambox Live Pro Encoder, which will be made available for download on laptops and desktops to contributors affiliated with broadcast groups and local television stations. Streambox Live Pro is a scalable service that allows broadcasters to capture video from their town, country, or anywhere around the world.
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.
