Remote broadcasting without the van

Professional OB vans cost €500k. Renting costs €500-1500/day. And they still need the same unreliable internet everyone else fights over.

OB1 delivers the same capability from a case that fits in your boot. One person. One case. Professional live broadcast from anywhere.

Dual cellular connections with automatic failover under one second. Satellite backup for locations where cellular doesn’t reach. Battery-powered for 4+ hours. Operates -27°C to summer heat.

Four-channel mixer included. Up to 40 channels available. If it works one meter from the Russian border in winter, it works at your festival.

Broadcast from anywhere.

Built for locations that break normal equipment.

Without OB1

Cables. Generators. Satellite trucks.

$ ssh ob-unit-01 [Connection timeout after 15s] $ ping remote-site PING: Network unreachable $ check uplink status Cellular: 2 bars, unstable Connection drops every 3-7 minutes Audio buffer: overrun $ reconfigure codec settings Attempting lower bitrate... Still breaking up $ call satellite provider Wait time: 45 minutes Cost per hour: significant $ meanwhile: dead air

Traditional outdoor broadcasting requires stable connections, backup infrastructure, and technical crews. When cellular drops, you lose audio. When satellite breaks, you're offline. Your broadcast depends on conditions you can't control. Setup takes hours. Troubleshooting happens live. Dead air happens often.

With OB1

Connect. Stream. Done.

SRT streaming protocol

Secure Reliable Transport handles what cellular and satellite can't. Packet loss recovery. Encryption. Low latency even through unstable connections. Professional broadcast quality from locations where traditional streaming fails. The protocol that makes unreliable networks reliable.

Autonomous power management

Dual 24V battery system with isolated circuits. Mission-critical components on primary UPS. Non-critical on secondary. Six-LED monitoring shows power status instantly. DIN rail mounting makes field replacement simple. 8+ hours runtime, up to 10+ under optimal conditions. Broadcast continues when mains fails.

Time-based authorization

Schedule broadcast windows through web interface. System connects automatically at scheduled time. Authorization expires when session ends. Studio override priority for instant control. No manual connection management. No forgotten open sessions. Sessions happen when scheduled, disconnect when finished.
