Zero Lag. Zero Buffering. 100% Bidding.
Don’t let a bad signal kill a good auction.
Running a live auction from a construction site, an railway depot, or a rural farm? You shouldn’t have to worry about your video stream crashing when the bidding heats up.
Selling Lane’s Live-Data Simulcast gives you the power to run professional hybrid auctions where in-person and online buyers compete live—without the bandwidth drag of video streaming. It is the perfect solution for sellers who prioritize speed, reliability, and results.
Why Choose Live-Data Mode?
While we offer full HD Video Simulcast for studio lanes (more on that below), our Live-Data Simulcast is a “killer feature” for auctioneers who need absolute reliability in the field.
1. Bandwidth-Proof Reliability
Video streams are heavy data hogs. They clog your bandwidth and freeze when the signal drops. Live-Data technology uses a fraction of that data.
-
Works on LTE: If you have enough signal to send a text message, you have enough signal to sell a car.
-
Zero Latency: Without heavy video data to process, bids fly back and forth instantly. This eliminates the “I bid before the hammer fell!” disputes caused by video lag.
2. Showcase the Metal, Not the Pixel
You’ve already done the hard work. You’ve taken high-definition photos and written detailed condition reports. Why hide that behind a shaky, low-res video stream?
-
Distraction-Free: Bidders focus on your high-quality images and the current price, not a grainy video of a car driving by.
-
Trust the Prep: Online bidders often feel more confident analyzing static, high-res photos than trying to spot dents on a buffering video feed.
3. Speed & Simplicity
Sometimes, technology just gets in the way of the sale.
-
Setup in Seconds: No tripods, no OBS software, no camera operators, and no complex audio mixing.
-
Focus on the Chant: The auctioneer can move freely and run the crowd without worrying about staying “in frame.”
“But wait, can I stream video if I want to?”
Absolutely.
At Selling Lane, we believe in Situational Flexibility. We offer robust Live Video Simulcast for when you have the studio lighting, the cameras, and the fiber internet connection.
But we know the auction business isn’t always played in a studio.
-
Have great Wi-Fi? Turn on the cameras and use our HD Video Simulcast.
-
Stuck in a remote lot? Switch to Live-Data Simulcast and keep selling without missing a beat.
We give you both tools. You pick the right one for the job.
How Live-Data Simulcast Works
(As seen in the video above)
-
The Auctioneer: Starts the simulcast and calls the auction live from the block.
-
The Clerk: Taps the button as the price climbs locally.
-
The World: Remote bidders see the price jump instantly—faster than video could ever deliver it—and bid against the live room in real-time.
