Make Your Streams More Reliable with SRT

Many broadcasters have experienced pixelated video during live streaming, often due to unstable network environments caused by bandwidth volatility and packet loss. Streaming RTMP over unreliable networks can cause issues. With dvCloud, you can now replace the RTMP protocol with SRT, which will fix most streaming issues you may have. SRT is better than RTMP because it handles problematic networks more efficiently. As a result, your viewers will experience a better stream, with less buffering and pixelization.

When using the landscape switching mode with the KMU-300, you can easily switch between the four selected frame pictures on the right side of the screen, full-screen mode, or computer output using the corresponding buttons.

The operation is simple and user-friendly. The frame selection area can also be adjusted as presets in advance, making on-site video production convenient.

Create Your Professional Portrait Program

When using the portrait switching mode with the KMU-300, you can easily switch between the four frame pictures using the buttons on the right side of the screen.

The operation is simple and user-friendly. The frame selection areas can also be adjusted as presets in advance, making on-site video production convenient.

Vertical and Dual Streaming to Two Different Platforms and Seamlessly Compatible with dvCloud

Live streaming video directly from the KMU-300 is easier than ever. Just simply connect the KMU-300 to your local network, connect your PC to the same network and configure the streaming encoder.

After that you can simply start streaming by pressing the stream button. The built-in streaming encoder remarkably reduces, the need for different procedures and equipments.

Get the most out of your streaming hardware using dvCloud. The KMU-300 is seamlessly compatible with Datavideo’s dvCloud service.

You can also record your production on the dvCloud platform in h.264 format. After recording you can directly use this recording to upload it to your favourite content platform.

Direct SRT streaming to dvCloud prevents hickups and lag in your stream, especially when using slow or unreliable internet connections or when streaming large distances (for instance to the other side of the globe). Even if your destination does not support SRT you can still stream SRT to dvCloud and go to the destination in RTMP.
