The LiveU LU2000 HD Output Server is equipped with HEVC (High-Efficiency Video Coding) and H.264 decoding, enabling high-quality video streaming with optimized bandwidth usage. Whether you're receiving live streams from remote locations, field units, or mobile production setups, the HEVC decoding ensures that video is delivered in broadcast quality while minimizing bandwidth consumption. This makes the LU2000 ideal for live events, news broadcasts, and sports productions, where video quality is crucial and network efficiency matters.

The LU2000 provides SDI and IP-based video outputs, allowing it to easily integrate into a wide range of broadcast and production environments. With SDI outputs, the server can be connected directly to broadcast switchers, monitors, and other studio infrastructure, while the IP-based output ensures compatibility with modern IP-based workflows. This flexibility makes the LU2000 suitable for studio control rooms, news stations, and remote production hubs.

Optimized for low-latency video output, the LU2000 ensures that live video streams are delivered in real-time, making it essential for live news, sports, and event broadcasts. The minimal delay between the live action and the broadcast output is critical for maintaining an engaging viewer experience and ensuring smooth live production, even in high-pressure environments.

The LU2000 is capable of handling multiple simultaneous video streams from LiveU field units, making it a versatile solution for multi-camera productions and broadcast workflows. Whether you're managing live sports coverage, news events, or concerts, the LU2000 ensures that all video streams are received and outputted efficiently, providing reliable support for complex production environments.

The LiveU LU2000 includes a web-based management interface that allows for remote control and monitoring of video streams from any network-connected device. Production teams can configure settings, monitor live feeds, and manage multiple streams from a central location, ensuring full control over live production workflows. This capability is especially valuable for remote production teams or distributed broadcast operations.

Housed in a compact 1RU rackmountable chassis, the LU2000 is designed to fit seamlessly into studio racks, OB vans, or remote production setups. Its space-saving design ensures that it can be easily integrated into existing broadcast infrastructure, making it a versatile tool for both on-site and remote production environments.

To ensure mission-critical reliability, the LU2000 can be equipped with a redundant power supply, ensuring continuous operation even in the event of power failure. This redundancy is essential for live events, news broadcasts, and high-stakes productions, where downtime is not an option, and maintaining a steady video stream is critical.

The LiveU LU2000 HD Output Server is perfect for broadcast engineers, live event producers, and remote production teams who need a reliable solution for receiving and outputting HD video streams. Its HEVC decoding, low-latency output, and ability to handle multiple streams make it ideal for live sports, news coverage, concerts, and studio-based broadcasts.
