Live U Solo vs. Teradek VidiU Pro
In this episode, we’re going to dive deep into live streaming. Sure your phone can do it, but if you want a professional live stream to YouTube or Facebook or just about anywhere else, then this episode is for you.
Let me ask you a question. Do you have a must have or favorite piece of gear when you get out the door to a sports production? You and I already know that answer don’t we? It is a resounding YES of course. Production is hard enough, so when we can get that gear either as a purchase or rental we know and love (most of the time) it makes the day go easier. So whether you are one hand held or in a big truck here are some of my favorites that you might just see on my shoots and a lot of others.
When I was first approached about reviewing the new LiveU Solo I admit, I was skeptical.
I have seen LiveU units used throughout the industry for several years. On election day 2016, I spent most of the day at WSB-TV in Atlanta and they were using LiveU units all over the state. Literally, they were covering a major trial in the southern part of the state and used another unit in the north to cover the election. I was impressed but thought “that’s something, we will never be able to do.” Boy was I wrong.

Live streaming on-the-go can pose many challenges. Getting the right equipment that works to stream consistently and in the highest quality is key in pursuing this endeavor.
A few weeks ago I was given the LiveU “Solo” live streaming device to test and review. They told me the $995 device was easy to use, reliable, and high quality, so that’s what I set out to test.
Toronto-based video production company Press It focuses on creative content solutions within the local music industry, but with the addition of LiveU Solo to the company’s live streaming toolkit, the company has expanded its reach to new brands and industries.
With IP becoming more and more prevalent in broadcast media, cellular bonding seems to be the popular way to achieve that. There are many advantages to using cellular bonding technology for productions that are remote from internet sources and needs a quick way to transmit video signals.
