Teradek Announces
New Encoder: Vidiu X

Teradek launches Vidiu X: an all-in-one hardware encoder that helps content creators
broadcast high quality live video for today's all-time peak in live streaming...

T

eradek launches Vidiu X: a powerful
HD streaming encoder solution
for live streaming videographers and
content creators.
Vidiu
X
uses
H.264
video
compression to capture and encode
live video and broadcast it in HD to
streaming platforms like Facebook
Live, YouTube Live, Twitch, and
Ustream.
Built for streamers seeking 1080p
video resolution and an encoder
that's HDMI-compatible with cameras,
switchers, and media players, Vidiu X
enters the market at a time when live
streaming is experiencing a massive
boom, with a noticeable uptick since
COVID-19.
Why the love for live streaming?
" COVID-19 has permanently changed
the online media landscape with
millions of people spending more
time than ever watching live streamed
content, " said Michael Gailing,
Teradek's Vice President & General
Manager of Live Production products.
" Vidiu X is our contribution to this
rapidly-changing market, making it
easier than ever for schools, houses
of worship, and small businesses to
produce and stream professionalquality live events. "

What about streaming from
your smartphone?
" Smartphones may be the easiest
way to stream live video online. But
content creators need something
far more powerful to create high
quality, engaging live content, " Gailing
explains. " Vidiu X provides more than
just industry-leading video quality.
It also seamlessly integrates with
larger multi-camera productions. And
with network bonding built in, Vidiu X
allows you to stream reliably from just
about any location you find yourself
in. "
HDMI Compatible
Vidiu X easily plugs into cameras,
hardware switchers and media
players with HDMI outputs, giving
users multiple video source options to
choose from.
HD Quality
Streaming without an encoder comes
with serious limitations, including high
quality audio, power, and stability.
Designed for 1080p60 video and
compatible with a wide range of
production gear, Vidiu X allows users
to showcase noticeably upgraded
video quality without worrying about
their streams dropping off.

Stream to Multiple
Platforms at Once
With
Sharelink,
Teradek's
cloud
streaming platform,
users can broadcast
to multiple streaming
destinations at the
same time, including
several
Facebook
Pages or a combination of various
social media and online video
platforms.
Stay Connected
For users who want better control of
their network connection, Teradek's
Sharelink is an additional service for
Vidiu X that allows users to combine
bandwidth from Ethernet, WiFi, USB
Modem, and several LTE connections
to create a single robust uplink
for higher quality, more reliable
broadcasts from any location.
Stream Reliably from
More Locations
Vidiu X's compact size and portability
makes it easy to mount to cameras and
take to more shooting locations. It's
also USB-C powered, which makes it
simple to keep streams up and running
throughout the day.

Seamless Setup with the Vidiu App
With the Vidiu App for iOS and
Android, users can locally configure
their destinations, stream settings,
and network connections, all from
their smart device. Users can even
monitor the live feed right from the
app to ensure everything looks good.
Other Vidiu X Features
	 *	 USB-C to use with power banks;
	 *	 WiFi-6 for higher data rates
		 and better performance with
		high-usage networks;
