How the network stays on air
One cellular connection fails in exactly the places creators want to be: packed festivals, moving cars, crowded city blocks. The network never depends on a single connection. Here is what happens between your camera and your audience.
Camera in
Your camera connects to the pack over HDMI. Audio rides along with the video.
Compress
The pack compresses video in real time, sized to what the links can carry right now.
Spread
The stream is cut into small packets and sent across every available connection at the same moment.
Reassemble
A cloud receiver collects the packets from every path and puts them back in order.
Out
One clean signal goes to your platforms or into a production, ready to publish.
Bonding, not failover
Failover waits for a connection to die and then switches. By then the viewer has already seen the freeze. Bonding is different: every connection carries part of the video all the time, and the pack shifts weight between them packet by packet as conditions change.
That is why a stream survives a carrier going dark. The other links are already carrying their share, so there is nothing to switch to and nothing to wait for.
- All links carry video at once
- Load shifts second by second
- A dropped carrier does not cause a visible gap
A mix of connections, up to 12
The Elite pack carries six built-in 5G modems. Add WiFi, Ethernet, and satellite and it can bond up to a dozen connections into one signal. Each modem can run on a different carrier, so a dead zone for one network is rarely a dead zone for all of them.
An antenna array is built so the modems work at the same time instead of fighting each other for the same airspace. In a crowd, where every phone is competing for the same towers, that matters.
- Six built-in 5G modems on the Elite pack
- WiFi and Ethernet when a venue offers them
- Satellite when cellular is thin or absent
- Multiple carriers across the modems
Where the delay comes from, and how little the pack adds
Every live stream carries delay from several places: the camera, the encoder, the network, the receiver, and finally the platform you stream to. The pack keeps its share of that as low as 0.3 seconds on the Elite pack.
The platform adds its own delay on top. Using the low latency mode on Twitch, Kick, or YouTube keeps the total close to real time, so chat reacts to what is actually happening.
- As low as 0.3 seconds through the pack
- Platform delay is separate and adjustable
- Fast enough for live chat to feel in sync
Adapts before the viewer notices
The pack measures every connection continuously. When one gets weaker it sends less through it. When the combined signal dips, it lowers the video bitrate smoothly instead of letting the picture freeze, then climbs back as the signal recovers.
The goal is simple: a slightly softer picture for a few seconds is better than a frozen one, and viewers stay.
- Continuous link measurement
- Graceful bitrate changes instead of freezes
- Automatic recovery when signal returns
Picture quality that holds up on a big screen
The Elite pack supports 1080p up to 4K with 10-bit HDR, so footage from a cinema camera like the Sony FX3 is not squeezed down before it ever leaves the venue. The Pro pack delivers HD.
Higher bitrates are used whenever the connections can carry them, and the pack scales down only when it has to.
- 1080p up to 4K HDR on the Elite pack
- 10-bit video
- Sony FX3 camera kits available with every rental
Built to be worn all day
The pack weighs about 2 lbs and rides in a backpack harness built for walking. Batteries hot swap, so a dying battery never ends a broadcast: swap it while the stream keeps running.
The kit ships with V-mount batteries and chargers, so one rental covers a full production day.
- About 2 lbs
- Hot-swap batteries
- V-mount batteries and chargers included
