Streambox 4K is Designed to Stream Live 4K Video over the Public Internet

Streambox, a leading provider of solutions that enable mobile video anywhere partnered with Celebro Media Studios to deliver a live 4K broadcast from the UK. The Streambox 4K Software Encoder/Player, coupled with the 4K Rackmount Encoder/Decoder, allow 4K real time transmissions in an easy function for streaming, broadcasting, post production and live events.

The demo included capture, encoding, delivery and play out of live streaming with a dedicated Single-link 6G-SDI signal through the 4K Rackmount encoder, transmitting to Streambox® Live™ Service, via public internet to a Streambox 4K Rackmount decoder. The second workflow included streaming with a dedicated Single-link 6G-SDI signal from the 4K software encoder, using public internet, into the Streambox 4K Rackmount decoder. Both tests were successful using Blackmagic and Red ONE cameras.

The Streambox ACT-L3 4K encoder is an adaptive bitrate encoder capable of encoding full resolution 3840 x 2160 UHD or 4096×2160 4K Cinema DCI 23.98, 24, 29.97 and 30 fps 4K videos from 4 Mbps up to 50 Mbps in real time with currently available video equipment.
