MuxLab IMU-500786 - Streaming Kit with HDMI/IP PTZ Camera and Transmitter
The MuxLab IMU-500786, also known as the MuxStream Pro Single-Camera Live Streaming Kit, is a comprehensive, professional solution designed for streaming live video and audio content over the internet. This complete package includes all the essential components for content creators, educators, businesses, and places of worship to broadcast their events, presentations, or services to a global audience with exceptional quality. It simplifies streaming production by combining a high-performance PTZ camera, a versatile A/V over IP transmitter, and a wireless microphone system, ensuring quick setup and intuitive operation.
The heart of the system is the MuxLab 500791 PTZ camera, which captures Full HD 1080p images at 60 frames per second. Its powerful lens offers 12x optical zoom and 16x digital zoom, allowing for detailed close-ups without loss of quality, ideal for covering everything from wide shots to close-ups in auditoriums or large rooms. The camera is built around a high-quality 1/2.7-inch, 2.07-megapixel CMOS sensor, which, along with an advanced 2D and 3D noise reduction algorithm, ensures a sharp and clear image even in low-light conditions. Remote control of its pan, tilt, and zoom (PTZ) functions facilitates dynamic and professional production from a single location.
For transmission, the kit includes an H.264/H.265 A/V over IP transmitter capable of handling video streams up to 4K at 30 Hz. This device encodes the camera signal and audio for transmission over LAN networks or directly to the internet, using high-efficiency codecs that ensure low-latency transmission (less than 200 ms) and optimized bandwidth consumption. It is compatible with popular streaming protocols such as RTMP, RTSP, and HLS, allowing direct streaming to platforms like YouTube, Facebook Live, and Wowza, as well as integration with production software such as OBS or Wirecast. The transmitter features an HDMI input for the camera, a 3.5 mm audio input, and can be powered by its power supply or via PoE (Power over Ethernet) for greater installation flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need advanced technical knowledge to install and use this kit?
No. The kit is designed to be a plug-and-play solution. Setup is simplified by the MuxStream Control app, which guides the user through system configuration and connecting to streaming platforms.
Can I stream to multiple platforms simultaneously?
The transmitter sends a single output stream. To stream to multiple platforms simultaneously (multistreaming), you would need to use a third-party service or software that receives the stream from the transmitter and distributes it to the different platforms.
What distance can there be between the transmitter and the network switch?
The transmitter can be connected to an Ethernet network switch using a Cat5e/6 cable up to 100 meters long.
Does the wireless microphone require a complicated setup?
No, wireless microphone systems that operate in the 2.4 GHz band typically pair automatically or with just the push of a button, offering a simple and quick setup.
