Cerevo LiveShell X PC- Less Video Encoder with Recorder

LiveShell X allows you to stream live video and audio independently of a PC. With support for H.265/H.264 live encoding at up to 1080/60p, real-time recording via microSD, and multicasting capability for up to 3 simultaneous streams, LiveShell X is crafted for professional-grade broadcasting.

When live streaming video via a PC or smartphone, issues such as stability, portability, and battery life can impact performance. LiveShell X addresses these concerns by providing a stable and reliable stream without the requirement for extra hardware. Whether streaming continuously with AC power or for up to 6 hours using LiveShell X's high-capacity internal battery, you can ensure uninterrupted streaming.

LiveShell X supports professional-grade video streaming at up to 1080/60p. With the latest H.265 video codec, it allows broadcasting at the same quality as H.264 but at half the bit rate or maintaining the same bit rate as H.264 with double the video quality. Additionally, LiveShell X can use H.264 encoding for compatibility with existing streaming services.

Utilize the multi-streaming function to broadcast to multiple services simultaneously and send video to a backup server. Alternatively, broadcast multiple streams to a single streaming service at different bit rates.

Real-time recording is available during live streaming (H.264/H.265). LiveShell X can directly record to a microSD card, serving as a backup or for later broadcasting. If used solely for recording, it can capture 1080/60p Full HD video, preserving the final stream output, including on-screen logos and lower-third graphics added via Dashboard.

LiveShell X’s high-capacity battery doubles the streaming time from previous LiveShell devices, giving up to 6 hours of continuous operating time when fully charged. Its auto power switching feature means that if the AC adaptor is disconnected while live streaming LiveShell X will switch to battery power automatically without interrupting the broadcast.

The robust metal casing and compact design ensure both durability and portability, eliminating the need for additional bulky equipment when going live.

Featuring M4 and 1/4-20 UNC mounting options, LiveShell X can easily attach to cameras using a shoe mount, providing an exceptionally portable all-in-one solution for filming, recording, and broadcasting.

LiveShell X features a monitor output function, enabling you to use a VLC player on your PC or tablet to view your live streaming or recorded video. This allows nearly real-time video monitoring without the need for an HDMI display or video distribution device. The three LED indicators above the OLED display change color to promptly alert you to any issues with your streaming output. Additionally, audio input can be easily monitored using the peak meter on the OLED display.

If you experience power or network connection issues, LiveShell X will automatically resume broadcasting once the power or network connection is back online. This auto connection resume feature means that external issues should not affect a remotely operated LiveShell X once the issue has been resolved. LiveShell X also features a 3.5mm stereo LINE-IN input, giving you analog audio input options such as an additional audio feed from external microphones.

Using LiveShell X’s web-based control panel, Dashboard, anyone from beginners to professionals can control LiveShell X’s video quality, audio level, bit rate, and cue timing. Users can remotely control LiveShell X using Dashboard from any smartphone, tablet, or PC with an internet connection.

Using Dashboard you can add subtitles, logos, and graphics to your live streaming via the easy-to-use interface.

LiveShell X is the first LiveShell device to support transparent PNGs for professional on-screen graphics.

With local mode, LiveShell X can broadcast to a closed local network without the need to connect to an external server. Broadcast video or audio securely over your corporate network, or use RTSP mode and LiveShell X can function as your exclusive local streaming server without having to build or purchase your own media server.

Combining LiveShell X with LiveWedge gives you a 4 HDMI input 1080/60p mixer and switcher along with the ability to output 720p video to 3 seperate streaming services and record 1080p video. You can also stream to a single service at 1080/60p giving you a Full HD 1080/60p live video production suite from video capture all the way to final output.

In addition to the wired LAN and wireless connectivity that LiveShell X supports by default, it also supports the connection of an optional 3G / 4G USB modem. When live streaming using a mobile connection, connecting the unit directly using 4G modem offers more stable communication compared to connecting via smartphone tethering or wirelessly to mobile routers. As the modem connects via USB, power is provided from the LiveShell X itself, so completely wireless streaming is possible with only LiveShell X and a 4G modem.
