TAB 2019: LiveU To Highlight HEVC Transmission Solutions, Matrix Content Distribution

LiveU HEVC and Global IP-based broadcasting and distribution solutions have made it easier and more cost-effective for customers to cover news and events live wherever they are in the world. At TAB 2019, LiveU will be showcasing how broadcasters can gain maximum operation efficiencies and cost-savings with some of the latest features and services now available.

“We’re excited to present our HEVC and Global IP Solutions to TAB attendees. The technologies have made it possible for our customers to bring unique live content to their audiences from the most remote areas where connectivity is basically nonexistent,” said Arco Groenenberg, LiveU Director of Sales, Central Region. “HEVC allows the live transmission to not only take place, but also to maintain the highest video quality possible.”

HEVC Solutions for On-the-go Live Transmissions
LiveU’s latest LU600 and LU300 HEVC solutions feature unparalleled video quality and performance. The technology has revolutionized the way our customers produce live news, sports, and events. New options include a fully integrated remote tally light solution that gives live on-air notification for field reporters and remote camera operators. LiveU will also demonstrate Version 8.0 of LiveU Central that includes a modern user interface and expanded unit panel for easier control and monitoring of LiveU units. And single sign-on (SSO) integration provides an added layer of network security when logging onto the unified management platform.

The LU600 HEVC is LiveU’s flagship portable transmission unit and delivers the highest video quality at any bitrate in the market, fastest file transfer and lowest delay.

The powerful new LU300 HEVC is a small-sized, cost-effective and reliable HEVC encoder, enabling content creators to transmit high-quality video on-the-go.
