Overview of the stream setup
The Belabox setup uses a Jetson Nano to act as an encoder and network bonder. Most importantly it uses SRT instead of RTMP. There is much better info out there than what I can provide here. RationalIRL (the Belabox dev) also has a great discord community.
Why Nano/Belabox over LiveU Solo?
If the technical aspect of the setup concerns you, Rational has made it super easy to get up and running if you can flash an SD card. Sometimes you have some messing around to do related to power issues and modems, but his Discord is very helpful. If you stick to the recommended equipment list and short cables, you should not have issues. LiveU is more plug and play if you have an RTMP endpoint.
