SNAPfeed

ESSENTIALS

The enhanced interface and live functions of SNAPfeed guides users through a straightforward, non-technical, four step process to encode and transmit recorded or live video.

On the air, anywhere: When you have breaking news, press one button to have SNAPfeed automatically compute the best possible compression and transmission settings that will get your recorded video back to base before your deadline and allow you to beat the competition with first pictures.

When time is not an issue select a preconfigured transmission profile specifically named and suited to your story and connection type. Because quality is subjective, SNAPfeed allows your own engineers to tailor compression and transmission settings so SNAPfeed consistently performs to your own definition of quality.

Need to go live? No problem. Use the same Internet connection to both transmit your live video and receive your IFB. You don’t need a separate phone. If you're covering a live event without interaction with a reporter, select the VC1 mode that gives you even higher quality pictures.
