Vislink and Mobile Viewpoint launch BaseLink 5G portable live streaming encoder

The latest in the BaseLink range supports up to six 5G modems to maximise available bandwidth and offer high-quality, low latency video streaming. It features two Ethernet ports to expand in-venue connectivity options, access to wide-band internet for production crews, and direct connection to cloud-based content storage. It also offers increased local storage within the unit, allowing store-and-forward of high-resolution video content. The unit comes in ruggedised aluminium housing to withstand challenging operating conditions.

BaseLink 5G also supports the latest video GPUs that will power the next generation of encoders capable of delivering sub-second delay and virtual zero latency applications.

The combination of adaptive video encoding technology, along with bonding of multiple mobile networks, guarantees that video can be live streamed, whether over fixed, Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G or 5G connections.

Mickey Miller, CEO of Vislink, said: “BaseLink 5G is ideal for broadcasters and content creators everywhere who want a professional live streaming solution that can be set up and deployed easily and at relatively low cost. These users have an ever-increasing need to generate high-quality live video to stay competitive, but don’t always have the means to produce and stream their own unique content. The BaseLink 5G product allows any content owner to become their own online streaming platform, as well as distributing to YouTube and other platforms.”
