Solutions for Live Streaming

Live streaming is transforming how media creators, broadcasters, and organizations engage audiences in real-time. Whether it’s for a major sporting event or a live news broadcast, ensuring high-quality, reliable video transmission is crucial. With decades of expertise, Vislink offers innovative solutions to meet these evolving demands.

Versatile Transmission with RF, 5G, and Hybrid Options

Ensuring stable video transmission can be challenging, especially in remote or congested environments. Vislink addresses this with a flexible range of transmission options: radio frequency (RF), 5G, and hybrid systems.

RF Transmission: Ideal for outdoor events with clear line-of-sight, RF technology delivers ultra-low latency, broadcast-grade video over long distances. Vislink’s HCAM and Dragonfly transmitters support dynamic coverage from drones and bodycams, enhanced by mounting plates and secure connectors.

5G Connectivity: For urban environments, Vislink integrates 5G to provide rapid, reliable data transmission with minimal latency. Products like LiveLink and Dragonfly V 5G enable broadcasters to harness public cellular networks for high-performance streaming.

Hybrid Solutions: Vislink’s hybrid technology seamlessly switches between RF and 5G networks, ensuring uninterrupted coverage across diverse terrains and connectivity conditions.

Sports broadcasters frequently need to change location according to the ebb and flow of the game. Capturing engaging content is a key feature of the broadcast production

 

Centralized Control with LinkMatrix

Managing live streams can be complex, especially with multiple video feeds. Vislink’s LinkMatrix platform simplifies this with centralized control of video capture, transmission, and distribution.

Key features include:

  • Remote Configuration: Configure cameras and transmitters in real-time without on-site adjustments.
  • Multi-Feed Monitoring: Seamlessly switch between multiple feeds via a web-based interface.
  • Performance Analytics: Access real-time data to optimize workflows and quickly address issues.

This comprehensive control system is essential for scalable and efficient live streaming operations.

Portable Equipment for On-the-Go Streaming

Mobility is critical for field journalists and event broadcasters. Vislink’s compact, lightweight products are designed for easy deployment. The LiveLink system offers robust video capabilities in a portable form factor. Meanwhile, the Dragonfly, optimized for drones and bodycams, enables unique perspectives with secure connectors and power-efficient operation.

For aerial coverage, the AeroLink and Aero5 transmitters support RF and cellular connectivity, enhancing flexibility for filming from helicopters and UAVs.

  • Operational Flexibility: Teams can manage production needs from anywhere, improving scalability and response times.

These capabilities support the industry’s broader sustainability goals without compromising production quality.

Supporting standard formats and protocols, Vislink ensures smooth cooperation with cameras, switchers, and production systems.

Key integration benefits include:

  • Easy Setup: Minimal reconfiguration is needed to integrate Vislink’s technology.
