Lift the lid on the integrated 5U flight case design and up pops a 24" HD touch screen. Simply plug in the power, cameras, outputs - and it's ready to go.The touch screen control interface is a totally intuitive and liberating experience. By directly touching the multiview it influences quicker decision making and promotes creativity. This is especially effective with live music and unpredictable action.The mixer has only 1 line of delay (less than a frame), which is great for events with IMAG (big screens) with lip-sync requirements.No console? The concept of this vision mixer is that you simply don't need one - but if for some reason you do, a traditional desk can be arranged.

Designed to be paired with Jackinabox Ingest systems, the EDI server makes it possible for an editor to be working with footage as it’s still being recorded. Seconds away from realtime, an editor can immediately get to work; re-editing the vision mix, adding graphics, VTs, lower thirds and logo bugs. Brilliant for concerts, conferences, or anything requiring a rapid turnaround/broadcast - potentially completing the edit, getting client approvals and loading out before the cameras have even been derigged. Rather than waiting around for backups at the end, the EDI server's 10TB NAS drive also creates a realtime backup - so you can leave site quickly without waiting to backup at the end or bring any additional hard drives.

Jackinabox Livestream Encoder is a realtime h.264 live encoder compatible with any CDN (Content Delivery Network). Ready to go, in a 4U case with twin 20" screens to setup and monitor; streaming health, internet speed, encoding quality, latency, and analytics. Although live streaming has become very popular, it’s still a dark art to many technical broadcast veterans. Which is why we offer free consultation and include a technician within the hire package. Especially with newer platforms like Facebook Live which are still developing and refining their configuration methods. The key to successful a stream doesn't just start and end with the shooting process, and it's developing all the time. Theres a lot you've probably never even thought of. See our blog for a useful insight

Content Delivery Network
After vision mixing, encoding and connecting to the internet, the stream must be distributed via a Content Delivery Network.
A CDN comes in various forms. There are well known ones like Facebook Live, YouTube Live and Livestream - and also private CDNs which potentially allow more control and independence.
Jackinabox Livestream Encoder is compatible with all CDNs - and picking the right platform for your broadcast in terms of audience reach, analytics or advertising is another service we advise on during consultation.
Analytics
Monitoring analytics during broadcast is an exciting eye-opener to what content is working and can even enable you to tailor the live production for the better.
Holding all the data after broadcast is useful to track how successful promotional techniques are, and is a massively useful insight into how your viewers engage with your brand.Being able to show the end-client the raw data of the demographic; location, age, gender, is pretty useful too.
Temporary Internet
A minimum internet connection speed of 5Mbps up is required for professional live streams but if the venue or location cannot provide this, there are a range of temporary internet options available:
- Bonded 4G - Using multiple 4G connections to create a very fast connection with a safe failover if any of the networks drop out. However this may not be the best option if the event involves large local crowds who are also using 4G
- Mini mobile satellite connection - A small satellite can be booked for a guaranteed connection. This isn't the cheapest option but is surprisingly affordable
There are other options and part of our consulting service includes help finding and arranging the right connection.
For productions requiring something more comprehensive than the standard vision mixer’s included audio mixer, the Jackinabox Multi-Track Audio unit includes an Allen & Heath GLD80 Chrome Edition desk capable of mixing and recording 48 tracks. A compact yet fully featured system, it’s perfect for OBs, live streams, music festivals or concerts. XLR looms to connect to the vision mixer, VT playback and house are included – and a 3-way active-split stage box, Multi-core and Power distro are available on request. If it’s outside your expertise, consultation on your behalf with end-clients can be arranged to discus appropriate integration with PA systems for large events. An audio engineer can also be added to the package if required. Post event remixing and mastering options also available.
