The Teradek Bond Pro V-Mount Integrated Camera-Back H.264 Cellular Bonding Solution includes MPEG-TS Video Streaming Support and the Base with integrated Sputnik server. This integrated camera-back HD H.264 bonded cellular solution has been specifically designed for broadcast cameras with V-mount power systems. The Bond Pro’s modular design and ease of use make it a simple addition to any broadcast rig. Its light weight and low power consumption allows cameramen to quickly maneuver within tight spaces and broadcast live for long periods without interruption or fatigue. The device comes with an HD-SDI input and HD-SDI loop. This design also provides support for up to 6 simultaneous cellular network connections via USB dongles. Additionally, the Bond Pro offers the updated modem mounting option, which ensures that your cellular dongles are protected from aggressive handling. When the situation calls for nimble movement and extended broadcast times, the Bond Pro delivers an empowering bonding solution for ENG professionals. The Bond Pro allows video professionals to broadcast 1080p HD video over aggregated bandwidth from several network interfaces, including 3G/4G/LTE, WiFi, BGAN, Ethernet, and fiber. The device utilizes hardware-based, high profile H.264 compression, resulting in low power consumption and long run times. The device offers local monitoring capability on iOS devices, quick access to settings via an OLED display, and IFB for communication from the studio to the field. It requires a Sputnik server, which converts each bonded feed into a standard video format that can be sent to any streaming platform on the Web. Base is an integrated link aggregation and H.264 decoding solution for video broadcasts transmitted over the Teradek Link or Bond. As an alternative to an Amazon EC2 instance or building your own Linux server, Base de-bonds and decodes your video feed from a single rack mount server with an HD-SDI output. Teradek's Base provides you with an alternative to an Amazon EC2 instance for recombining the various streams of your Bond video transmission. Simply connect the server to your network, assign it a static public IP address, and you are ready to go. Sputnik is Teradek’s free software interface between Bond and your streaming destination. Sputnik is designed to run on a Linux computer either in the cloud (using Amazon’s EC2 services) or on a local server with a single, publicly addressable TCP port. Sputnik recombines the packets from your cellular modems into a cohesive stream that can then be sent to an H.264 decoder or viewed online. Sputnik also integrates with Core, a cloud-based encoder fleet management system. From an intuitive Web GUI, users are provided with extensive control over many parameters of connected Teradek IP video devices. Core also offers a drag and drop workflow that allows you to direct video feeds from any encoder to any number of decoders in real time.
