Go Live Anywhere, Anytime!

Live streaming is very much used for various reasons nowadays. With the emergence of video-sharing websites that caters to it, more and more events are live-streamed to let the people know what’s happening in real-time. However, live streaming can be challenging, especially when you are in a remote area. The fluctuating availability of 3G or 4G cellular networks makes it hard for the traditional system to maintain high-quality live streaming contents from broadcast cameras. Soliton System aims to provide an answer to this dilemma with Smart-Telecaster Zao. The world’s first H.265 mobile live broadcasting app, this multimedia software lets you broadcast events even when in remote locations.

High-Definition Live Streaming

When streaming live events, especially news, we often notice a one-second delay. Smart-Telecaster Zao can provide minimal latency typically half a second but as low as 240ms. Using this app, you will no longer have to get frustrated with the delay and bad image quality of your live videos. This app is especially beneficial if you are working for a broadcast company because you no longer need satellite or RF services as well as an outside broadcast (OB) truck.

Smart-Telecaster Zao allows mobile HD video transmission direct from the camera. It offers two, switchable broadcasting modes, either H.264 / AVC or H.265 / HEVC, compressing your videos in real-time. The advantage of H.265 HEVC compression is that it only requires you half the bit rate for the same video quality. This compression mode supports lower latency—typically under a second—even when your signal is weak. The H.264, on the other hand, works better with older phones. Also, many more back-office applications support this video compression, so transcoding is not required.

Other Key Features

Despite the complexity of the Smart-Telecaster Zao app under the covers, it is surprisingly easy to use only requiring you to press a red button to start or stop the live stream. It can also be controlled remotely via a separate management platform. Aside from its two, switchable modes, it also boasts other feature to make your live streaming better. It allows you to dim your screen during video streaming to save power and to lock your screen to prevent accidental changes. It also supports full GPS if you are live streaming to a map.

Smart-Telecaster Zao lets you live stream videos using your phone’s front or rear camera to capture your video. The app also allows you to use Canon “MM100 – WS” as your external camera source. You only need to connect Canon’s compact multipurpose module camera to Zao Android using WiFi connection.

Users must note that Smart-Telecaster Zao requires Zao Cloud View for live broadcasting.

Powerful Broadcasting Option

There may be many live streaming video apps available in the market these days, but most of them do not have the sophistication needed for professional use. Smart-Telecaster Zao is a powerful software that gives all the features required in a broadcast. When you need to live stream videos with the reliability and very low latency that broadcasting companies are known for, this app is your solution.
