Review on Teradek Vidiu X: Ultra-Slim HD Live Streaming Video Encoder with Facebook Live and YouTube Live Compatibility, RTMP(S), HDMI, Wi-Fi, AVC/H.264 Video Compression, USB-C Power Input by Sean Patel

I've been trying to use this device for 2.5 weeks mainly to stream IRL via their sharelink network connection service which connects to the twitch streaming platform. .Pro: Small. Easy to set up and use. Most settings can be changed directly on the device via the internal menus and the joystick. Can easily aggregate at least 3 connection types like Wi-Fi, Modem and Ethernet. Simple mobile application and web interface. Additional amplification can be added to the audio track - ideal for quiet microphones. The web interface has access to log files. If you want to read them from your PC, you can just download them. Cons: In 20 hours of streaming, there were 10 disconnects and stream stops for no apparent reason. The device may randomly disconnect from its (Sharelink) service. Streaming can also pause randomly if you need to change your microphone on the go. Excessive heat - this looks normal, especially in winter, but you need to prepare the bag for the summer or install it on the chamber with a fan, still not sure if that helps. Limited number of compatible USB modems you can use. Please check it before purchasing. Difficult to troubleshoot without a PC. There is only one hole on the bottom of the device for mounting the camera. Be prepared that it will be upside down if you want to connect it to the ground, when you upgrade it. Excessive heat.
