It weighs just over 900g (2 lbs), and can stream up to 4Kp60 resolution in H.264 or HEVC

LiveU has announced the release of its next-generation Solo PRO portable bonding encoder, which includes both 4K and HEVC video capability.

The encoder combines up to six IP connections – four 4G/5G cellular modems, WiFi and LAN, and can be used for any type of live event coverage, both indoors and outdoors.

It weighs just over 900g (2 lbs), and can stream up to 4Kp60 resolution in H.264 or HEVC, meaning it has the capability to offer the same quality in half the bandwidth of H.264, or twice the quality in the same bandwidth

According to LiveU, Solo PRO is the perfect tool for content creators of all live platforms, including Twitch, Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo and TikTok.

The company is also introducing an optional add-on streaming tools package, Solo Stream Tools, which it enables users to go live even faster.
