Teradek Prism Mobile Backpack with No Modems (V-Mount)

Teradek Prism Mobile Backpack with No Modems (V-Mount) is a camera-back video encoder built for live broadcast, remote production, and field contribution. Based on the supplied source, it supports 12G-SDI and HDMI input/output and can encode video up to 4K HDR with 10-bit 4:2:2 color.

This version includes integrated V-Mount battery plates but does not include cellular modems. That gives an engineering team the flexibility to build the connectivity package around its own carriers, Teradek Node hardware, Ethernet paths, and mobile hotspots.

Highlights

• Camera-back 4K HDR encoder for field and mobile production
• 12G-SDI and HDMI input/output for professional camera integration
• Up to nine bonding sources across cellular, Ethernet, and phone hotspots
• V-Mount battery plates integrated into the low-profile chassis
• Recording, store-and-forward, camera-to-cloud, and closed-caption support

Network Bonding

Prism Mobile is designed to combine several network paths rather than depending on one connection. The supplied source lists support for up to nine bonding sources, giving a production more redundancy when working from locations where cellular or venue internet may be inconsistent.

• 2 x internal Node II modem positions
• 1 x external Node II modem connection
• 2 x Gigabit Ethernet connections
• 4 x cellphone hotspot connections

The configuration above describes the supported bonding architecture. Cellular modems are not included with this version and must be selected separately.

Streaming Protocols

• RTMP and RTMPS for established live-streaming destinations
• SRT for resilient video transport over unpredictable networks
• RISTP and RTP for supported professional contribution workflows
• MPEG-TS for compatible transport-stream delivery

Why It Helps

Field crews rarely have the luxury of a perfect network connection. Prism Mobile is designed around that reality. Instead of tying the program feed to one modem or venue circuit, it can combine cellular, Ethernet, and hotspot paths to improve transmission continuity.

The camera-back form factor keeps the encoder close to the source. It can mount to the Gold Mount or V-Mount battery position on an ENG or professional camera rig, reducing the need for a separate encoder bag or additional device mounted elsewhere on the operator.

The no-modem configuration is useful for engineering teams that already own compatible Node hardware or need to choose modem models based on local carriers and operating regions. The core encoder remains ready for bonded operation without forcing a fixed cellular package.

For longer assignments, integrated battery plates support a practical camera-back power arrangement. The source lists up to five hours of runtime when tested under ideal conditions with a 90Wh battery.

Recording & Store-and-Forward

Prism Mobile supports onboard SD card recording, allowing the crew to retain a local copy of the production feed. This can be useful as a backup, review recording, or file for later delivery.

Store-and-forward support also gives the operator another option when a live path is unavailable or insufficient. Material can be captured in the field and transferred once a suitable connection becomes available.

Camera-to-Cloud Integration

• Teradek Core
• Frame.io
• Sony C3P
• Sony CI
• PIX

These integrations allow supported video feeds and files to move into remote review, production-management, and cloud-delivery workflows without requiring the media to return physically from the shooting location first.

Remote Management

The Prism application for Android and iOS can be used to configure the encoder, monitor the feed, manage network sources, and review streaming statistics from a phone or tablet. The source also notes that a mobile device can share its 5G or LTE connection with Prism when another network path is needed.

Teradek Core adds remote monitoring, routing, distribution, management, and archiving tools for supported live feeds. This gives an engineering or production team visibility into the encoder even when the operator is working far from the control room.
