CNDLive X1 · 3G-SDI / HDMI 4G bonding encoder
CNDLive X1 4G Bonding Encoder
Reliable live streaming does not stop when one network drops. CNDLive X1 bonds multiple connections — internal SIM cards, Wi-Fi 6, Ethernet and USB modems — to help keep SDI or HDMI video moving from the field to your audience, control room or production platform.
When do you need CNDLive X1?
Use X1 when the network is the risk. It is built for outdoor streaming, mobile production, remote contribution and events where one connection is not enough.
Field streaming with unstable networks
Bond SIM, Wi-Fi, Ethernet and USB modem connections to reduce dependence on a single network path.
SDI or HDMI contribution
Encode cameras, switchers or AV sources from HDMI or 3G-SDI into SRT, RTMP and other IP workflows.
Portable live production
Use a compact device with touchscreen preview, local recording and battery-powered operation for field teams.
Bonded streaming workflow
X1 takes an HDMI or SDI source, encodes it, bonds available networks and sends the stream to your server, platform or production system.
Inputs, bonding and field control
X1 combines video encoding, multiple network paths, touchscreen operation and local recording in one portable device for real-world live production.
I/O, bonding and control
Streaming and management support
Designed for the moment when one network is not enough.
Many live streams fail because the video source is fine, but the connection is not. A single mobile network, hotel Ethernet line or venue Wi-Fi connection can become the weakest point in the production chain.
X1 is built to reduce that risk by bonding multiple networks into a more resilient live contribution path. It gives field teams a practical way to stream, monitor and record from one portable encoder.
Why it fits ProMediaIT projects
- Portable bonding encoder for outdoor, mobile and remote production.
- HDMI up to 4Kp30 and 3G-SDI up to 1080p60.
- Seven available network paths for more resilient field streaming.
- H.265/H.264 encoding for quality and bandwidth control.
- Local recording to TF card or external USB for backup and archive.
- CNDLive Manager and Manager Max workflow support for larger deployments.
Key features
X1 brings together the functions field teams need most: dual video inputs, network bonding, codec efficiency, monitoring, recording and remote management.
7-network bonding
Bond 3 internal SIM cards, Wi-Fi 6, Gigabit Ethernet and 2 USB modems for more resilient live streaming.
4K30 HDMI input
Encode HDMI video sources up to 3840×2160p30 using H.265 or H.264.
3G-SDI input

SRT / RTMP workflows
Deliver streams over SRT, RTMP, RTMPS, HLS, TS over UDP and RTSP.
Touchscreen operation
Preview the feed, configure the device and control streaming or recording from the 5.5" LCD touchscreen.
Local recording
Record locally to TF card or external USB storage in TS, MOV or MP4 formats.
Where CNDLive X1 works best
X1 is useful wherever the production team needs to stream from places where connectivity is unpredictable or where rapid portable deployment matters.
Outdoor live events
Stream from locations where fixed connectivity is limited or mobile networks need to be bonded.
Remote contribution
Send field camera or switcher feeds back to a production system using SRT or other IP protocols.
News and field production
Use a compact encoder with multiple network paths, preview and recording for field teams.
Sports and mobile coverage
Contribute live video from venues, sidelines, temporary rigs or mobile production kits.
Corporate and public events
Reduce streaming risk when the venue network is unknown or shared with other users.
House of worship
Use bonding for outreach events, outdoor services and remote locations beyond the main building.
