Teradek Cube 555 | 1ch Composite Encoder, OLED, Li-Ion Built in 2.4G/5.8G WiFi, mic input, USB, microSD

The Cube 555, like the original, is a camera-top wireless video encoder. The unit streams via dual-band WiFi, an Ethernet port, or a single 3G/4G USB modem.

The Cube 555 includes all of the same great features of the original Cube such as a compact aluminum chassis, comprehensive transport protocol support like RTP/RTSP/RTMP/MPEG-TS, and a variety of camera inputs. To bring Cube to the next level, Teradek has added a variety of important new features such as:

OLED

Cube’s new OLED enables users to rapidly change and review the settings of their unit in addition to providing real-time feedback for filenames, recording status, and wireless connectivity. No longer are computers or iPads needed for configuration; every feature is a simple click away.

Li-ION Battery

Cube’s built-in Li-ION battery will give users up to 2 hours of runtime, which allows for seamless battery swapping or quick broadcasts. The battery can also be charged from an AC adapter or even a suitable external battery such as an Anton Bauer.

MIMO Access Point

The new MIMO access point feature greatly improves wireless performance and enables special features such as wireless camera control for devices without a WiFi capability built in, and ensures improved connectivity from an iPad or Android tablets.

Audio Output

Cube now comes with a headphone output for immediate audio monitoring.

Micro SD

The micro SD slot enables Cube to save on-board proxy recordings in real time. The recorded files (.mov or .mp4) are automatically synced with your proxy server over WiFi or cellular connections.

Micro USB

Cube’s micro USB port will charge the new internal battery.

CDN Integration

The new Cube also supports dozens of Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), including Ustream, Justin.tv, Livestream, Youtube Live, and many others.
