Chapter 1 General
1.1 Overview
Thank you for purchasing LiveV200/LiveV210/LiveV300/LiveV310 – HD Live Streaming Encoder.
The LiveV2x0/3x0 is a portable standalone, hardware-based video streaming encoder that can
be mounted on top of the cameras or carried on backpack. LiveV2x0/3x0 can encode and
transmit video of camcorder or camera via 4G, WIFI or LAN to the remote server in real-time
for live broadcasting.
LiveV2x0/3x0 support detection of both of HDMI and SDI input channels automatically, as well
as analog stereo audio in, SDI and audio out. The LiveV2x0/3x0 can be connected to most
HDMI interface cameras or professional SDI interface cameras, no more need to purchase
another Streaming Encoder with different input interfaces, and does not need another
SDI/HDMI converters. One red hardware button is on the left for power, and two hardware
button is conveniently located on the top, one of the left is the stream button and the other
is the quick display the QR code button.
LiveV2x0 is a multi-channel device that supports up to 3 x 4G LTE channels (1 built-in 4G and
2 external 4G), 1 x WIFI and 1 x Giga-Bit Ethernet internet connection, LiveV3x0 can even
support up to 7 x 4G LTE. LiveV series supports link aggregation configuration. In the Bonding
mode, the device will aggregate multiple connected networks to push video to the
aggregation server at first, then, the aggregation server distributes the video to multiple live
broadcast platforms. Encoder can support up to 9 RTMP Address streaming simultaneously in
the Bonding mode.
LiveV200/3x0 equip with a 3.5-inch touchable LCD screen for video monitoring and in field set.
The user can preview live video, browse device configuration, network connection and live
broadcast status, etc. And user also can configure the device and Video Collage option in the
menu bar. LiveV210 is a lite version without LCD.
Moreover, LiveV2x0/3x0 supports a web browser-based UI, where all of LiveV’s controls are
ready to use. The robust web browser UI allows you to setup and configure your video stream
server connection before you even arrive at your event. Once there, even an inexperienced
operator can start and stop streaming with a simple Go-Live button push.
Furthermore, encoder supports dual channel 1080p HD video signal inputs and dual channel
signal seamless handover, picture in picture. Also support user to customize dual-channel
video display area, position, and background. The LiveV series adopt efficient H264 Digital
video hardware encoding and it can receive video output from a video matrix switcher, camera
or other device and deliver the stream directly to a Content Delivery Network (CDN) via RTMP.

It replaces the traditional PC and capture card, no dedicated PC software required.
LiveV2x0/3x0 provides the multiple 4G LTE channels plus WIFI and LAN, if one of the
connections fails, encoder will automatically reroute all the traffic through your other
available connection(s). This happens in the background without you having to do anything.
When the dropped connection is back online, the encoder will pick it up the best connection
and start using it again. In addition, if the upload bandwidth is smaller than your target setting,
the device could increase broadcast’s bandwidth and reliability by bonding multiple internet
that including LAN, WIFI, built-in 4G and external 4G.
