New York-based Livestream video company unveiled its new device that enables live, mobile, and almost HD-quality broadcasts.
It is a backpack-sized and ruggerized device, called "Livepack". it does not requiere laptop, and it comes with a touchscreen and six integrated 3G/EVDO modems from AT&T, Verizon and Sprint, that are bound together in a way to provide the highest possible available bit rate -usually between 300kbps and 700kbps depending on the phone coverage quality.
The core technology is being provided by LiveU, an Israeli cutting-edge company. I knew company's main executive this year in NAB show in Las Vegas. There I had the opportunity to test LiveU technology, and I was a bit dissappointed, due to the many errors it presented. Now it seems it has been improved and ready to be market.
Livestream explains here how it works. Monhtly rental price starts at $2,500, and it includes 30 hours of streaming uplink time.
