Internet connection and recommended data rate
Internet connection
The internet connection is almost the most important thing for reliable live streaming. A data rate of at least a constant 20Mbit/s in upload should be available.
We highly recommend a connection via network cable. We also use WLAN/Wifi. However, it can happen that there are dropouts in the transmission. Wifi in the 5GHz range is best.
And if there is nothing at the location, we have a special router with a mobile connection. We can also use this router as a backup. If, for example, the internet connection via cable fails, we automatically switch to the mobile network.
What is the quality of recordings?
Quality of recordings
We can record the streaming locally. Compared to recording in the cloud of the streaming service, the quality is many times higher. This means you can publish the event as a whole afterwards or edit individual elements. We are happy to support you with this. It is also possible to record all cameras and microphones individually. This allows even more extensive adjustments to be made in the edit.
Maximum quality of the director's shot: FullHD (1920×1080)
Maximum quality of the cameras: UHD/4K (3840×2160)
