LiveU has launched its new On-site Production Solution tailored specifically for live sports and other event driven verticals and will be showcased at the 2023 NAB Show in Las Vegas.

The 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.

Leveraging the experience gained from pioneering the use of IP-video-over-bonded-cellular, LiveU’s solution includes its multi-cam/compact 5G 4K field units, and Mobile Receiver in the OB truck. Live video is transmitted directly from the units to the OB truck in a highly resilient manner without the need for cables, fixed internet or complex networking configurations. The responsiveness of a local control room creating a program feed is maintained, while avoiding much of the cost associated with setting up complex, traditionally connected workflows. The live feeds are transferred via the public internet and the LU-Link cloud service as part of a seamless workflow.

Built from the ground up to optimize the performance benefits of LRT™ (LiveU Reliable Transport) such as low latency, high-quality, resilience and 5G.

Gideon Gilboa, Chief Product Officer, LiveU, said: “Remote production is an ideal solution in many cases but for some productions, on-site is still preferred. We wanted to add efficiency to OB productions, in the same way we have with REMI, and give our customers more creative choices. With LiveU’s On-Site Production Solution, the customer doesn’t need to undergo lengthy and costly set-ups, they don’t need network engineers on-site or to spend weeks trying to navigate venue IT protocols. They are free to plan their shots based on the story they want to share with the fans, rather than being constrained by line-of-site or cables. Ultimately the solution makes the benefits of ‘on-site’ available to productions where it would have been cost prohibitive before.”
