Interview: Teradek Talks Mobile Switching, VR缝合, and HEVC Encoding at 流媒体 West 2017

蒂姆Siglin: With me I've got Jon Landman, the VP of Sales from Teradek. Jon, you just won not just one, not just two, but three Readers' Choice Awards.

乔恩·兰德曼: 是的. It's not the best year for us, but I'm very happy with the three that we won.

蒂姆Siglin: 这是三个碎片, and the one that I'm holding says that you won for your cellular bonding solution. And what are the other two that you have?

乔恩·兰德曼: So we also won for the best 无线传输 system, and that would be our Bolt system. 那, 我会说, is the number one solution for wireless, 零延迟, uncompressed transmission on virtually every news, or every movie set in the country.

蒂姆Siglin: 然后是第三个?

乔恩·兰德曼: The third one is for our mobile switcher application. It is an app called Live: Air Solo, 或者Live:Air Action, that can be downloaded for free from the Apple Store.

蒂姆Siglin: 好吧, 很好, and we're shooting this with a Teradek VidiU Pro, so we're familiar with Teradek products.

乔恩·兰德曼: 是的, very happy to see that not just talking about it, but you're actually using it for real live streaming.

蒂姆Siglin: So what other kinds of products do you have? I think you have another one in the queue, which was nominated to win, an encoder, is that correct?

乔恩·兰德曼: 是的, we just released the H.264和H.265 Cube 755, with the live transcoding option in the cloud. Up to 30 megabits per second, boot-up time in under 20 seconds, and at a price that again is very, 咄咄逼人.

蒂姆Siglin: Are you all moving any way into virtual reality video or 360 video?

乔恩·兰德曼: We actually released a product to do live 缝合, for any four cameras or any eight cameras. 我们生活在iPad上, and then can stitch that into a 4K stream will then stream direct to YouTube or Facebook.

蒂姆Siglin: The reason I ask is I'm actually doing a panel in just a minute on VR video, and I was curious what your approach was. So essentially it does stitches to the device and then you push them out from that iPad.

乔恩·兰德曼: The workflow is this: We have a rig that you can mount four GoPros in, for example. We take the HDMI out of those cameras, we take them into a product of ours called The Sphere, which takes those four fees, and codes them into H264 at about 10 megabits per second, and then wirelessly transmits that to the iPad where we live stitch into a 4K resolution. And why do we need the wireless? It's because you can't stand next to the cameras to stream, like he is over there. In the 360 world you would see his ugly mug on the set.

蒂姆Siglin: He would be showing there, exactly.

乔恩·兰德曼: 你不会想要的.

蒂姆Siglin: It would give more face time for Steve.

乔恩·兰德曼: 这是真的.

蒂姆Siglin: All right, so it's 10 Mbps in aggregate, or--

乔恩·兰德曼: Which is a total of 40 Mbps. So we're sending 40 megs wirelessly to the iPad.它被称为球体.

蒂姆Siglin: What's the basic price point on that?

乔恩·兰德曼: Sphere lists at $4,000, all in. It's a very easy way to get into the world of 360 streaming.

蒂姆Siglin: Jon, thank you very much for your time.
