How to Set up TBS 2603 SE Encoder for IRL Streaming on YouTube & Twitch - Best Budget Mobile Encoder

[@gzawz3522]

I thought about eventually dabbling with streaming and IRL streaming sounded really fun. I saw the ulive whatever thingy and lost all hope, but then, the heavens opened up and blessed me with your series of videos 🙏

[@berbel97]

You are a llivesafer. For my Bachelor Thesis im comparing h264/RTMP vs H265/SRT using Netlfixes VMAF Metrics. I'm always a little skeptical buying cheap chinese hardware lacking good dokumentation. This Video really opened up an affordable option for me. THX

[@sprEEEzy]

Haha, awesome! Glad I could help.

[@AMKidd]

Thank you so much for these videos! I have been looking for an alternative IRL stream solution for so long!

[@morning_flanger8271]

Gréât vidéo thank you. Could you give me some advice concerning the powerbank and required spécifications ? Would you recommand any model in particularité ? Should i look for a model with dc12v ? Thanks

[@blackhatultra]

would love to see a video on how to send this stream into OBS. and send it from OBS into YT. Also would love to see how to combine in OBS 2 or 3 different streams from different places using TBS.

[@noe8615]

any ideas yet ?

[@KampervanemPrzezAmerykę]

Do you have any advice how to solve my problem? I am streaming from my truck using GoPro cam connected to laptop and I use XSplit Broadcaster to my YT channel. I have 4G hot spot from my visible phone to go online. The problem is that when I have drop in 4G coverage or poor signal, my viewers either see that little wheel turning on their screens or my streams turns off all together and I have to restart it manually. If I only could somehow "keep it alive" when my 4G signal drops, so I don't have to restarted, it would make me happy. Any suggestions?

[@BrokerBasil]

Awesome video - thanks. Of course I need to watch again and get my head around details.

[@qroxtv8170]

WoW great Video! One Question ,,, does that also work with a LiveU solo? if you already have it?

[@Viettzz]

Nice video man! Is there a better device than this TBS 2603? I don't mind paying more if there's a better device like this out there, thank you.

[@gerryjara9934]

Thanks to you have bought the encoder. However where do I get the UI software please , as have no idea ? thanks

[@Silvercobra3]

Can I use my Sony AS-100V action camera for IRL streming

[@andy_truong]

is there anyway to network bond without using speedify or a paid cloud service?

[@dove690]

Thank you so much for this video. and if you want to stream to Facebook and another platform you can stream only by OBS?

[@sprEEEzy]

You can stream to any platform that has the usual RTMP input

[@undergroundnews_dk]

I did not know this encoder - I have made my portable solution with raspberry PI4 and a USB capture card like elgato camlink and a usb powerbank. I dont have a gui as it just uses ffmpeg to use srt - it works for me with 1080p 25 frames. The rpi uses mobile phone wifi and I can use vnc to connect to the raspberry also. To bad the TBS 2603 encoder dont have wifi ;)

[@sprEEEzy]

That's a cool solutionas well. It does come with a significantly lower image quality tho.

[@TheGodlyNoob]

what would you do to output 1080p60 at high quality?

[@undergroundnews_dk]

@@TheGodlyNoob I think it would be to many frames/bandwith for the rpi - but I have not tried.

[@dylanbrindley8745]

i have watched all the videos i have the nighthawk m1 I still don't understand how i make the home network and mobile network communicate together on obs to use the stream. I can see the stream on the same network but once i set the home pc to the home internet its not coming through on obs. cuts my feed off any help would be absolutely amazing.

[@warillions4115]

any TBS2603 v2 content soon? im having trouble getting SRT to work. Larix worked both local and 4g but my TBS2603 v2 doesnt seem to work. need help pls!!

[@sprEEEzy]

Hey, the v2 is a different product than the 2603 SE, and I didnt recommend it anywhere. SRT does work on it, but it's still not really good for IRL streaming.

[@jmchughinweho]

I just set up a unit with your exact settings and 5000 bitrate, but it is showing no more that 1.8MB on the network state dashboard. Any ideas?

[@KLRCAT]

I literally can't find this encoder ANYWHERE. I can only find the older (or newer) version that doesn't stream SRT.

[@LaciBarzo]

what's the difference between TBS 2603 SE and TBS 2603?

[@Fine_art_aerial]

Got everything setup.. All setting the same as yours but only getting 0.70mb/s... Any ideas?? Thanks bro!

[@untipogenial]

it work with Vmix?

[@BombayBlonde]

Does anyone know where to get the TBS2603SE NDI HDMI Encoder now? It's no longer for sale on Amazon.

[@Lost-u1v]

I bought one on eBay waiting for it to ship

[@Moglei]

how long can you Power up only the tbs2603se with your Power Bank?

[@theBullringLive]

Will this work with poe or do you have to use the brick?

[@Arenset]

Hi! Thank you for the video!! Just a question, is there a way to send my gopro video trough the phone to a RMTP server and then view it on OBS without this geaR? Thanks!!

[@sprEEEzy]

You can stream with the gopro via wifi, but its not reliable

[@SirGerbain]

Very nice video, it shows how easy it is to setup if you have a little know-how. Can you only order this encoder from their website? I'm from belgium

[@sprEEEzy]

You can get it on Amazon!

[@Wraaayn]

I just got mine yesterday and set it up. But after doing my first test stream, I am not sure how much data it used. I streamed for about 1h 30min and thought I used between 5-10gb data. That can't be right? I was streaming from a Sony A7iii at the same settings you were using, but with variable bitrate instead of CBR.

[@sprEEEzy]

At 5000 kbps CBR, you can expect to use 2.25GB per hour.

[@waithai1078]

Sorry but I bought this TBS because of your video. No matter what I try, I can't see any video in OBS. All SRT configurations are those from your videos. With the phone and Larix I have no problem streaming SRT like you explained. In the encoder setup I see the preview from the Sony camera at the HDMI input. But nothing arrives in the OBS and the encoder sends nothing. Software version is the same as yours. Can youhelp please ? Best regards

[@sprEEEzy]

@@waithai1078 What when wrong, if you could share with us?

[@SunOfDevil]

If you limited previously the bitrate to 3000kbps why is the network on 5/6 Mbps? I dont understand

[@sprEEEzy]

Not sure I understand the question?

[@SunOfDevil]

@@sprEEEzy on min 6:28 you limit the bitrate to 3000kbps right? and on min 8:17 is registered 6Mbs bitrate

[@towadsh]

Is it possible to stream directly to Twitch with this Encoder with the Streamkey?

[@sprEEEzy]

Yes, but you need to put it in the stream URL as one of the GET parameters.

[@towadsh]

@@sprEEEzy Thanks for responding. And of course thank you for your videos, it helped me a lot!!

[@Dwazeling]

Does this encoder automatically reconnect when the connection to the internet is lost and then reconnected?

[@sprEEEzy]

It streams all the time. It reconnects as soon as the network is good enough (or within 30 sec total) - works great with SRT).

[@robyarrow1]

Would this work to stream gaming at 60fps 1080p using ndi from obs, as a alternative to a dedicated stream pc? If so would the quality be good enough?

[@sprEEEzy]

It works the other way around. It can only be an NDI source

[@scarty]

has it auto reconnect? and can u use it wirh wifi?

[@sprEEEzy]

Auto reconnect yes, wifi no.

[@sincoliveapb]

but how dose it get the 4g connection too your home pc ?

[@sprEEEzy]

Its connected to a 4g router via ethernet

[@sincoliveapb]

@@sprEEEzy ahh thats a shame next version gets usb for 4g / 5g? It seems like a solid product

[@geogmz8277]

CBR looks just fine with 4-4.2Mbps at 1080p30

[@sprEEEzy]

Should look great even lower than that when using x265

[@ScruffyLookinRGB]

Im very interested in doing this and curious if this device will work as in place of the one mentioned. URayCoder H.264 Live HDMI Video Encoder Or are there any other alternatives? I live in japan and the one from your video is not readily available. Thank you

[@YuppyGames]

So what does the 4G connection go through? There isn't a service provider or anything you have to pay for to get 4G while out in the world? Does the 4G go through your phone or does it go through the encoder because that has its own which sends it to the router? I am just confused on how the 4G aspect of being able to send the video from wherever you are to your pc. I am interested it doing something like this because I would like to stream myself on my fourwheeler, but there will be a lot of times where I don't have service so I would need something that can get a signal from a long ways away, so has a good reach. The main question is, does this use your phone for internet, or does it have its own sort of internet that it uses while you are out?

[@sprEEEzy]

The router holds a sim card. You can even use the same one (same plan) you have in your phone, in order to get the 4g connection.

[@YuppyGames]

@@sprEEEzy Ok so I can use the SIM card in my phone or I would have to get a double plan so I have one for my phone and one for the router correct?
