In August 2013, LiveU officially launched its full range of products based on wireless cellular communication such as 3G and 4G. This includes the well-known LU60 (which has now gradually been replaced by the LU70) and LU40, as well as mobile terminals, enhanced antennas, and solutions for other applications.
LiveU, a pioneer in portable wireless video backpack solutions, will showcase its enhanced LU60 video uplink series at the 2011 NAB Show in Las Vegas (Booth SU8808). This series achieves sub-second latency and outstanding resilience with multiple bonded 4G/3G connections. With ultra-low latency, LiveU's powerful broadcast-quality video uplink provides customers with a cost-effective alternative to satellite solutions for live two-way interviews on location.
The concept of this solution is to utilize the existing ubiquitous 4G/5G mobile networks, WiFi hotspots, and the internet for live audio and video transmission during on-site reporting. Thanks to the excellent coverage of 4G/5G networks, reporters can roam freely indoors and outdoors without being restricted by cables or line-of-sight between two points, and they are also unaffected by weather factors such as rain fade or snow fade.
System Introduction: The LiveU system transmits real-time signals via a 3G network to the LiveU receiving server. After processing, the signals are sent to the studio, where the output SDI signals are input into the signal processing through a bidirectional interaction system. The processed signals are then sent back to the LiveU mobile device via the bidirectional interaction server, enabling real-time interaction between the live broadcast site and the studio.
The unique IFB communication feature allows the studio director to directly instruct the camera operators.
