Going Live with aDrive and Pokémon

• Pokémon GO exploded in 2016 and players
  like aDrive, as he is known on Twitch, have
  implemented live streaming into the augmented
  reality gaming experience to engage with fans
  that go on the hunt. aDrive has been part of the
  Twitch live streaming community since 2014. He
  initially began streaming for the Call of Duty
  community and then decided to focus solely on
  Pokémon content. Since then, aDrive has created
  over 2,000 videos for his 380K subscribers.

• Upgrading his live setupaDrive explained
  why it was important for him to upgrade his live
  streaming setup. I wanted to jump into Pokémon
  GO live streaming and felt there was an audience
  that wasn't being served on Twitch. The majority
  of Pokémon GO streamers in the past used hacking
  devices to relocate their GPS or had poor
  quality. I knew if I could create high-quality
  Pokémon GO streams it would fill a void.
• He was first introduced to some outdoor
  live video technology after seeing another Twitch
  gamer using a popular live streaming kit created
  by Justin Gunrun Ignacio of Twitch.

• This solution - which fits inside a small
  backpack, was immediately embraced by the In Real
  Life (IRL) community of streamers on Twitch.  The
  backpack provides better audio, video and the
  portable live video encoding with LiveU Solo and
  because it is specially designed for live outdoor
  videos and extended live stream (up to 12 hours
  or more!). This simple and super small setup was
  ideal for how aDrive wanted to produce better
  quality videos and get more engaging content for
  his viewers.

• Solo became the necessary component I had to
  get my hands on for my outdoor live streams
  because it would allow me to stream high quality
  audio and video without the need for a super
  large device like a laptop while on the go. It
  truly was the key piece in allowing me to take
  Pokémon GO to Twitch with the best quality
  possible, noted aDrive.

• The impact of live
• More and more people are tuning in to be a
  part of the live experience aDrive delivers. In
  addition to his tremendous on-demand views, his
  live content generates more than 1,000 concurrent
  viewers and the numbers keep growing. Ultimately
  I think the quality of the stream (audio and
  video) is the biggest factor in making these
  streams successful. Neither would be possible
  without the LiveU, he added.
