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.

Connect VidiU to Core

1 From the VidiU app, web UI or front panel, enter the Cloud menu, then select Core.
2 Enter your credentials to log VidiU into your Core account, or visit corecloud.tv to create a new account.

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 Tap the 📞con to enter the Settings menu.
2 Tap the Codec button and select H.264.
3 Tap Apply at the bottom of the Settings menu.

From the Core App

1 Tap the • icon to enter the Encoder Details menu.
2 Tap the Settings button, then select H.264.
3 Tap Apply at the bottom of the screen.

Once Core is enabled, you can switch between HEVC and H.264 from VidiU's broadcast settings menu on the front panel or the web UI.

SHARELINK™

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.

RECORDING

VidiU Go supports recording to a micro SD Card or compatible USB thumb drive.

Recording Operation

• Recordings are triggered by the broadcast state. When a broadcast starts, a new recording is created.
• If a broadcast is interrupted for connectivity reasons, recording will continue.
• If a recorded file exceeds your storage media's file size limits, a new file will be created and recording will continue.
• Recording resolution and quality match your configured Broadcast settings.
