Niña streams through Lumbus Connect on every stream, one connection or ten — the starter in the box is in use from your first stream. On Pinta and Admiral, one connection streams without Lumbus Connect; two or more go through it. Niña bonds up to 8 connections at once, Pinta 10, Admiral 13.
Every Niña and Pinta includes a 100 GB starter bonding allowance for Lumbus Connect, valid for three months — enough to set up, test and run your first bonded streams. Lumbus Connect is used when combining two or more connections, and on Niña for every stream. The SIM allowance is sold separately.
Lumbus Connect bonding allowances are bought in packs, not monthly. Each pack has an allowance and a validity, and you buy the next one when you need it. If a pack runs out mid-stream you get a 20 GB bonding allowance free, so you can finish and buy your next pack — nothing is cut off.
The estimates here assume 8 Mbps with bonding overhead. Lumbus Connect counts what passes through it: the bonded stream coming in, plus every copy going out — each destination you send to, a live preview you keep open, and any recording you pull from the receiving service. Bonding more connections does not add to it; more destinations do. With Lumbus Studio as the destination, all your platforms count as one.
