Haivision’s 4K Encoder Compatible with Nokia OZO Live for Virtual Reality Streaming

Using Haivision’s KB 4K encoder together with the Nokia OZO virtual reality camera and Nokia OZO Live software, organizations can stream reliable, high quality, virtual reality (VR) experiences that combine 360-degree viewing and a 3D immersive experience for online audiences. Nokia OZO Live and Haivision’s KB 4K encoder have already powered a number of high profile events including the Red Hot Chili Peppers concert and The CMA Awards Red Carpet.

Nokia selected Haivision as an ecosystem collaborator for OZO Live due to its trusted and proven KB 4K encoder, which combines the highest H.264/HEVC 4K streaming quality, quick installation and easy configuration at the most affordable price point in the market.

“Nokia OZO is committed to creating an extensive VR technology production ecosystem that provides compatibility, performance, and optimization for every element in the VR workflow,” said Tarif Sayed, Head of VR Technologies, Nokia OZO. “Haivision’s KB 4K encoder is an important enabler for the OZO ecosystem in delivering high-powered, large-scale live virtual reality events.”

“Virtual reality has captured the minds of brands, marketers, and entertainers globally with the goal of creating immersive and interactive experiences,” said Peter Maag, chief marketing officer, Haivision. “We’re looking forward to working closely with the Nokia OZO team to bring high quality, live streaming experiences to audiences online.”
