[Satellite TODAY 01-07-11] Streambox has enhanced the capability of its hybrid HD/SD software encoder to include HD video transportation using a single cellular modem on Verizon’s 4G LTE mobile broadband network, Streambox announced Jan. 5.
    Laptops equipped with the Streambox hybrid HD/SD software encoder will be able to stream live HD video from remote locations, highly urban areas and other settings traditional newsgathering or streaming workflows could not achieve. The solution can stream live or stored broadcast quality SD video at 1.5 to 2 megabits per second and breaking news quality HD video at 2 to 5 mbps.
    Streambox’s mobile broadcast encoder Avenir also will be compatible with Verizon’s 4G LTE network, which was launched in December to 38 cities around the United States.
