Larix Broadcaster / HEVC / Premium Features

• Attention Livestreamers! - Larix (Not Needed)

  We recommend switching to the sidelineHD app on iOS or Google Play if you're currently using Larix. Recently, Larix has added a full-screen watermark for users not subscribed to their paid plan, which can impact your viewers' experience. It makes for subpar streams and clips.

  With the sidelineHD apps, you can enjoy a smooth, watermark-free experience for all your streaming needs!

The Larix Broadcaster app now has two modes of operation (as of May 22, 2023).

• Streaming with regular compression (H.264) is free but is limited to 60 minutes.  This is comparable to Mevo, GoPro, OBS, and other standard forms of video streaming. The free version now also has an obnoxious overlay to subscribe. 
• Streaming with advanced compression (HEVC) costs $9.99/month.  HEVC is helpful because it has the same quality but only requires 1/2 the bandwidth.  Note: sidelineHD is not affiliated with Larix and does not receive this fee.
  
  

If your app was set-up for HEVC compression, you'll see this HEVC listed under Video encoding Format, You have two options HEVC and h.264. 

You can still use Larix without a subscription; however, you will be limited to 60 minutes of streaming, and the stream will be encoded in H. 264. An overlay will also appear on the stream. ( See watermark in screenshot) 

Keeping HEVC allows you to get the same video quality at 1/2 of the bandwidth.  It's helpful when you have poor coverage or congestion.  Larix charges $9.99/month for premium features (we are not affiliated with Larix). 

 Larix is one-click configured by a URL, offers the HEVC video compression mode, and can save video to your phone’s memory.  

Staring May 24, our Larix configuration URLs will use the free (non-premium) compression.  You can upgrade to HEVC any time  by following these instructions.

We have since developed the sidelineHD App, which uses HEVC compression . The Larix App is no longer needed.
