Features & Capabilities

The VidiU iOS application allows users to remotely monitor and configure their Teradek VidiU encoder over WiFi.

The Teradek VidiU gives you the freedom to broadcast live high definition video directly to the Web without a PC. Whether you’re streaming out of a video switcher or wirelessly from your camera, VidiU allows you to go live when you want, where you want.

VidiU offers API level integration with the Ustream and new Livestream platforms, which makes streaming to your channel as easy as logging into your account.

VidiU also allows you to choose the CDN that is right for you. VidiU's generic RTMP interface allows you to stream your live video content to a Wowza server or the platform of your choice at any time.

VidiU streams over dual band MIMO WiFi, Ethernet, or via a single 3G/4G USB modem. For events that require you to be completely wireless, VidiU’s rechargeable Li-Ion battery lets you roam cable-free for up to 60 minutes.

VidiU offers a free application for iOS that allows you to stream a second video feed to your mobile device for monitoring your live broadcast. Since VidiU acts as its own dual band Access Point, you can choose to connect your iPad or iPhone directly to the device or to your local network.

Connect your HDMI video source to VidiU and stream at resolutions up to 1080p (see Technical S). VidiU encodes video in real-time using high profile H.264 compression and AAC audio at up to 5Mbps. Embedded HDMI audio, headphone output, and a mic/line input are supported.

Use ShareLink to share your bandwidth (up to 4 iPhones/iPads) for increased bandwidth to stream live broadcasts, and our new backgrounding system for ShareLink allows you to share your bandwidth even while the app isn't running, provided you share your location.

Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

User Reviews

User feedback is mixed. The app is praised for enabling the Vidiu hardware workflow, easy setup, 64-bit performance, and features like YouTube events. However, it is frequently criticized for crashing on startup, unstable connections to the Vidiu, and missing landscape/full-screen preview. Compatibility issues on iPads and older iOS versions appear after updates. In short, when it works, it serves its purpose well, but stability, reliability, and UI limitations are persistent problems that affect professional use.
Pros
  • Works well when it functions; enables livestreaming with a Vidiu device.
  • Essential for hardware setup; the setup workflow works reliably.
  • 64-bit support.
  • Easy to use.
  • Supports creating YouTube events within the app.
Cons
  • Crashes on startup or after updates, making the app unusable at times.
  • Unreliable connection between the app and Vidiu; drops or fails to connect during use.
  • Lack of landscape/full-screen preview; monitoring experience is hindered.
  • Compatibility issues with iPad and older iOS versions after updates.
  • Difficulties connecting via hotspots/cellular and general reliability concerns.

I’ve had the VidiU X for some time. I have yet to figure out how to get it to connect to a cellular device.
