Haivision and Sales Cube Power First 4K 360-Degree VR Live Stream for Red Hot Chili Peppers' Concert

AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS (IBC 2016) - September 10, 2016 - Haivision, a market leader in enterprise video and streaming solutions, and Sales Cube, a specialist in professional and innovative video transmission systems for media and broadcast productions, today announced that they powered the first 4K 360-degree VR live stream for Deutsche Telekom's Street Gigs Red Hot Chili Peppers' concert.

Filmed live on Tuesday this week in Berlin, the virtual reality online streaming experience was fueled by Haivision's KB 4K HEVC/H.264 encoder - an essential part of the live video workflow - streaming the Nokia OZO Professional Virtual Reality camera feed to more than 675,000 viewers on YouTube Live.

In a high-profile live event like the 360 live stream for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, you really need to know that you're working with most reliable systems that will not fail when your stream goes live, said Tobias Vees, CEO of Sales Cube. Haivision's KB 4K encoder fueled the highest quality streams and supported a spectacular 4K viewing experience.

It's rewarding to be involved in innovative projects like this, said Peter Maag, chief marketing officer, Haivision.
