Livestream Native Integration
Cube integrates natively with Livestream providing an elegant and easy to use turnkey solution for streaming live video to the Internet. Users simply enter their Livestream account information into Cube's user interface, find a broadband uplink, and begin broadcasting. Livestream has free add supported as well as premium accounts. A free 30-day subscription to Livestream Premium is included with every Cube encoder purchase.
Cube Encoders
The Cube family are the world's first camera-top streaming HD video devices. The family includes six encoder models and two matching form-factor decoders. The Cube Encoder streams HD video over WiFi or wired Ethernet. The Cube Encoder creates its own wireless (ad hoc) network, and streams HD video directly to a Cube Decoder, a computer or laptop, a server, or a mobile device such as an iPad with no other networking equipment required. To extended your broadcast range, Cube Encoder can join an infrastructure network by using a wireless router and stream over a LAN or WAN. Experienced network users can use Cube to stream video over the Internet.
Simple Setup
Cube's web interface features a Setup Wizard to simplify configuration. After connecting video and powering-up Cube, create a network, logon to Cube's web interface, complete the Setup Wizard, and begin streaming video.
Advanced Compression
Cube uses H.264 High Profile (Level 4.1) video compression, which is the most advanced compression algorithm in the world today, and it features a built-in scaler to convert from 1080 to 720, 480 or 240 resolutions. Users can choose a resolution and target bit rate based on the availability of IP bandwidth. Typical bit rates for HD are between 2-4Mbps, and SD bit rates are typically sub-1Mbps. Cube's end-to-end latency is approximately 1/8-1/2 second.*
Small Size
Cube is tiny (about the size of a deck of cards), uses only 2.5W of DC power, and weighs only 7 ounces, and mounts easily to a rail system, cage, hotshoe, or camera baseplate. Cube has been tested extensively with RED ONE**, Arri Alexa, Panavision Genesis, Canon 5Dii, Canon 7D, various handi-cams and more.
*Latency measured by independent third party testers. iPad's native video decoder adds approximately 10 seconds of latency. An RTP solution for iPad will be available shortly to eliminate the latency issue.
**Cube is not compatible with RED ONE's HDMI output as its output is non-standard.
