CORE VidiU Go can be remotely accessed, configured, and controlled using Teradek’s Core Cloud management and routing service. In addition to offering network bonding, remote management, and streaming to multiple destinations, Core allows you to convert an HEVC stream to H.264. HEVC provides the most efficient encoding for both low bitrate and high quality applications, while H.264 is supported by a wider variety of streaming platforms.
PAGE 8
HEVC and H.264 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: From the Core web UI 1 2 3 Tap the icon to enter the Settings menu. Tap the Codec button and select H.264. Tap Apply at the bottom of the Settings menu.

SHARELINK TM Sharelink is another cloud service by Teradek that was created specifically for VidiU Go. Sharelink unlocks the full potential of your live streams by offering all the same benefits 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.
