Why should you opt for the MiNE Q8?

Two functions make the Mine Media Q8 an all-rounder in every live stream setup: bonding and encoding. Whether livestreaming from a football stadium, an alpine hut in the mountains or a members’ meeting – simply switch on the Q8 Bonding Encoder and start livestreaming. The first 200 GB of traffic are included in the sales price. Another 200 GB are available for 100 euros net.

Mine Q8 sound functions

First class picture and sound quality

The two integrated HDMI and SDI ports allow you to switch between the signals. This is also possible during a live stream if, for example, a camera should fail. The Q8 supports an input of up to 2x 1080p 60.

The Bonding Encoder achieves clear sound by supporting stereo channels (192 kHz 24 bit). The automatic gain control algorithm ensures consistent sound quality.

Refill Q8 How Bonding Works

Two powerful live broadcasting protocols

The Bonding Encoder Q8 uses two powerful protocols: RTMP and SRT. While RTMP is mainly used for live streaming on popular platforms such as YouTube, Facebook or Vimeo, SRT scores with its low latency. The open source protocol uses the Internet to transmit the live stream. This is how SRT achieves a secure, stable and encrypted live stream with the highest image quality. Due to its low latency, the Bonding Encoder is suitable in combination with a decoder for live broadcasts, for example to a television studio or from a soccer field.

In detail, the protocols that the Q8 supports: 264 (RTMP/RTMPS), H.265 (RTSP), support 1080p 25/ 30 / 50 / 60 fps; 720p 25/30/50/60 fps.

Internet bonding ensures a stable, fail-safe Internet connection on the Q8. Three LTE modems, a USB port, Wifi and Ethernet – up to six connections are bundled into one.

Easy control via the app

The Q8 encoder is characterized above all by its intuitive operation. There are only a few buttons on the device itself: power, recording, Wifi and SDI/HDMI switcher. The Q8 is controlled via the practical M Live app or the web app. In the app, users enter all relevant information for the live stream: from recording settings to RTMP target server to network and audio settings. The device name can also be changed remotely in the app, for example. There is also an overview of all Mine devices in the M Live app. We have uploaded 21 videos to our Livestream Shop YouTube channel , in which livestream expert Martin Prankl explains the Q8 and its functions in detail.

Maximum mobility thanks to the powerful battery

The Q8 is optimized for mobile use. It does not need an external power supply because a powerful battery is integrated. This has a performance capacity of up to six hours. In addition, three antennas are installed, which ensure good reception.

FAQ Mine Media Q8 Encoder

Yes, there are live statistics that you can access with the “Switching Button” (two arrows) to the right of the display. Various menu displays can be selected with this. If you press the button, statistics about the current transmission per modem / WiFi / LAN are shown in the display.

Yes, this is possible, but it makes little sense. Limiting the bandwidth of a SIM card always affects the entire connection. Therefore, only cards that are offered without a restriction should be used.

No. It is also possible to use only one, two or three SIM cards. The modem can also be operated only with the WAN connection, i.e. completely without SIM cards. Which slot is used for the SIM cards has no influence on operation. Only the APN settings must always be correct. If the reception of a card is extremely poor at the location, it makes sense to remove the SIM card and only work with the remaining SIM cards.

All the important settings for the network, SIM cards, Wifi and LAN are explained in this video.

The Mine Media Q8 is a livestream bonding encoder. Encoder means that the device sends a stream from an image signal (SDI or HDMI) to an SRT or RTMP server. For example on YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, LinkedIn or other servers. In addition to the battery operation, the specialty is the so-called internet bonding. Aggregating connections is the core function of the Q8. With the built-in 3x LTE modems, it bundles these connections in such a way that the live stream is stably transmitted to the server.

In addition to the 3 built-in modems, the Q8 also uses other connections: 1x LAN, 1x Wifi and 1x USB, e.g. for another modem, are available. On the Mine Media Q8 product page you will find all details about the device.

Via livestream shop. As an exclusive German distributor, only we offer Mine Media devices for sale in the Livestream Shop. Our service includes extensive advice, customer service and, of course, a German invoice.

The Mine Media Q8 automatically saves the wifi settings. But the “Wifi function” is deactivated after restarting the Q8 – unless you have activated the “Auto push traffic” function. With the “Auto push traffic” function, the Q8 starts streaming automatically as soon as it is switched on.

This means that the “Wifi button” must first be pressed on the device in order to activate the Wifi function. Then the Q8 “remembers” all WiFi settings such as SSID and password.

The login takes place via web app or via mobile phone app.

The following is supplied as standard accessories for the Q8:

  • 1x Q8 4G Live Bonding Encoder (Dual HDMI/SDI)
  • 1x protective storage bag
  • 1x backpack (optional)
  • 1x HDMI cable
  • 1x SDI cable
  • 3x antennas
  • 1x power supply unit
  • 1x hot shoe adapter
  • 1x Pin-Needle
  • 1x User Manuel

The question of the transfer speed is actually wrongly asked with the Mine Media Q8. The Q8 is a video encoder and requires a data rate of around 5 Mbit / s to around 15 Mbit / s, depending on the image content and the compression selected.

The bit rate, compression and, for example, the frame rate can be set in the menu under “Live Stream”.

A comprehensive instruction manual in German with detailed pictures is included in the scope of delivery. Informative videos are available on our YouTube channel Livestream Shop.

The MiNE Media products recognise all common SIM cards from German mobile phone providers. However, we only use 02 and Telekom. With Vodafone, there are always problems with the bonding quality and the speed provided, among other things. That is why we strongly advise against using Vodafone cards.

Please note that the PIN code query must be deactivated for the SIM cards.

Please also note the APN settings for each network operator.

The products Q7, Q8, Q9 and R8 use a completely different bonding method than the M4 Mini. Here, too, there are no known limitations of SIM cards: Telekom, O2 and Vodafone work in any combination and quantity.

You can find informative videos about the Q8 Bonding Encoder on our YouTube channel Livestream Shop.

The main reason why a SIM card may not be recognized is due to the PIN code that the card may be occupied with. The SIM cards used must NOT be assigned a PIN for unlocking. Please remove any SIM PIN from the SIM card before inserting it. Instructions can be found here, for example https://tinyurl.com/245krfxk

A second reason can be that the SIM card requires an individual APN setting. Depending on the device, this must be done in the menu, for example under “Network” (Q7 / Q8 / Q9 / R8) or “Network Setting” on the M4 Mini.

The Mine Media M4 Mini is preconfigured for you as follows:

Slot 1 / 4G1 setting: Telekom – (APN: internet.telekom / User name: t-mobile / Password: tm )
Slot 2 / 4G2 setting: Vodafone – (APN: web.vodafone.de Rest remains empty)
Slot 3 / 4G3 setting: O2 – (APN: Internet Rest remains empty)
Slot 4 / 4G4 setting: O2 – (APN: Internet Rest remains empty)


The following problem can arise with the Mine Media M4 Mini, especially with Vodafone SIM cards: It has not been confirmed that the necessary bonding protocol (Multipath TCP) is supported by Vodafone in all tariffs. It only affects the Mine Media M4 Mini (not the Q or R series devices). We are waiting for a report from Vodafone (as of September 2021). But: if cards from a GigaCube that “listen” to the APN home.vodafeon.de are used, there are no restrictions / problems according to the current state of knowledge. However, cards with the APN “event.vodafone.de” or “web.vodafone.de” can only be used as a single card in the M4. A second card in the device “does not bond”. With the providers O2 and Telekom, however, it is possible without any problems.

The principle of aggregation is to maximize bandwidth by taking advantage of the multiplexing ability of the network. In theory, 1 + 1 = 2. However, additional “costs” are incurred when splitting and merging the data stream during internet bonding. Therefore, 1+1=2 is not always the case. The best aggregation to achieve is approximately 1.5.
