VidiU Go can be remotely accessed, congured,
and controlled using Teradek’s Core Cloud
management and routing service. In addition to
oering network bonding, remote management,
and streaming to multiple destinations, Core
allows you to convert an HEVC stream to H.264.
HEVC provides the most ecient encoding for
both low bitrate and high quality applications,
while H.264 is supported by a wider variety of
streaming platforms.
CORE
2Enter your credentials to log VidiU into your Core
account, or visit corecloud.tv to create a new account.
From the VidiU app, web UI or front panel, enter the
Cloud menu, then select Core.

Connect VidiU to Core
Once a connection is established, you can congure
VidiU Go from the Core web UI, or the Core app.

In situations where bandwidth is limited, using HEVC
will preserve the video quality while using lower
bitrates. Core has built in transcoding functionality to
convert video back to H.264 for delivery to streaming
platforms that don’t support HEVC. To switch
between HEVC to H.264:
HEVC and H.264
Tap the icon to enter the Settings menu.

Once Core is enabled, you can switch between
HEVC and H.264 from VidiU’s broadcast settings
menu on the front panel or the web UI.

Sharelink is another cloud service by Teradek that was created specically for VidiU Go. Sharelink
unlocks the full potential of your live streams by oering all the same benets as Core (network
bonding, streaming to multiple platforms, remote management, and cellular tethering), with the
exception of transcoding an HEVC stream to H.264. A subscription to Sharelink is required to bond
Internet connections.
