The benefits of live streaming and how it helps drivers and engineers to quickly understand how to maximize the contact patch of a tire, are also covered in Chapter 15 of our free to download eBook on Advanced Circuit Driving Techniques.
When transmitting, the LiveU Solo HDMI sends packets of data over all connected interfaces to the Cloud server. The Cloud server then sends back rate control information to the LiveU Solo HDMI.
In real-time, the LiveU Solo HDMI uses algorithms to decide how to send the video to the server; such as bit-rate and resolution, and connections to use in order to reduce jitter, packet loss, latency and round trip delay.
At the Cloud server, the data packets are pieced back together to make up the video. The encoder will adjust which connection to use to send the data packets to ensure the highest consistent quality.
LiveU Solo uses a unique transmission technology (LRT™) that combines the bandwidths of multiple internet connections to deliver reliable live streams when connected to an HDMI enabled VBOX Video HD2.
Power is provided via an internal battery, but Racelogic can also supply a lead to hardwire a trickle charge, allowing a constant live stream regardless of if the vehicle is turned on. This is ideal for pitstop scenarios.
Once the system is setup then the live stream can be controlled via a computer or mobile device connected to the internet.
The Solo has an LCD display screen used for configuration, a joystick for navigating the screen and the Power button, which can also be used to start and stop live streaming.
It is possible to stream with one USB modem, but we recommend 2x USB modems bonded together using LiveU’s LRT service.
For an even more robust solution, you can have up to four channels (2x USB, Wi-Fi + Ethernet), with an associated bonding subscription.
Due to user preferences and regional variances we do not supply a modem with the LiveU Solo, this will need to be arranged separately from a third party, but they are readily available.
