Returning to Asia’s key industry show, LiveU is taking the opportunity to present its complete IP-Video EcoSystem for agile live remote and on-site production across sports, news and other events. LiveU’s EcoSystem helps producers spend less money and time planning live productions by removing previous technological hurdles – replaced with easy-to-use, efficient and high-quality solutions. Producers can fully focus on creating dynamic, engaging content.

LiveU will share tangible ways that customers can reduce production costs, meet the increased demand for quality content and optimize monetization opportunities – leveraging its 5G bonding solutions and cloud-based workflows.

All LiveU solutions are built on its field-proven LRT™ (LiveU Reliable Transport) protocol for low latency, high quality, and rock-solid resiliency.

LiveU On-site Production

On display for the first time in Asia will be LiveU’s new On-site Production Solution adding remote production efficiencies to outside broadcasts. LiveU’s solution includes its multi-cam/compact 5G 4K field units, and Mobile Receiver in the OB truck. The live feeds are transferred via the public internet and the LU-Link cloud service as part of a seamless workflow. Traditional multi-camera on-site productions are very expensive and complex to set up, requiring radio frequency (RF) equipment, antennas, cables and pre-sourced internet capabilities to be deployed. In contrast, LiveU’s new on-site solution offers unmatched efficiency at a very cost-effective price point. The new solution enables bonded wireless transmission from the field straight into the production truck in a single click, with no need for a fixed internet connection.

Other show highlights include:
