The LiveU LU800 HDR is a top-tier video streaming encoder designed for professionals who need high-quality live broadcasting in various settings. This unit is ideal for single-camera workflows, offering support for 1080p60 over HD-SDI and 4Kp60 over HDMI, making it an excellent solution for high-definition and 4K live video production.
To cater to different operational needs, the LU800 single-camera model is available in two configurations:
- 6x 4G and 2x 5G modems, ideal for regions with strong 4G LTE infrastructure but offering access to next-generation 5G networks.
- 4x 4G and 4x 5G modems, perfect for broadcasters looking to leverage 5G technology more heavily, providing enhanced performance, particularly in urban areas with strong 5G coverage.
Both versions use bonded cellular technology, combining multiple network connections to ensure resilient and stable live streams, even in areas with inconsistent network conditions. This technology delivers seamless video transmission by aggregating available bandwidth from all connected modems, reducing the risk of dropped streams or quality degradation.
The LU800 supports HDR (High Dynamic Range), enhancing color depth and contrast, which results in visually superior broadcasts. This feature is particularly useful for outdoor events and live reporting, where lighting conditions can change dramatically. Whether streaming in 1080p or 4K HDR, the LU800 delivers crisp and vibrant video quality that engages viewers.
For live events where low-latency is critical, such as news broadcasts, sports events, or live interviews, the LU800 ensures minimal delay between the camera and the viewer. Its HEVC (H.265) and H.264 encoding capabilities allow for optimized bandwidth usage, making it possible to stream high-quality content even on lower-bandwidth networks.
This unit’s portable, field-ready design makes it an ideal choice for solo reporters, event production teams, and remote live broadcasts. Lightweight and rugged, it can easily be transported to remote locations or urban environments alike, delivering professional-grade streaming without the need for large on-site production setups. Additionally, the LU800 can integrate with production workflows for cloud or studio-based operations.
While this version of the LU800 does not include data services, it is compatible with a wide range of data providers, allowing broadcasters to tailor their connectivity options based on regional or event-specific needs.
Ideal Use Cases:
- Field news reporting, delivering reliable live video from diverse and often unpredictable locations, whether urban or rural
- Live event broadcasting, such as press conferences, corporate meetings, or cultural events, with high-quality video in HD or 4K
- Solo content creators needing robust 4K HDR streaming for professional productions in dynamic environments
- Live sports coverage or outdoor events where fluctuating network conditions require the resiliency of bonded cellular technology
The LiveU LU800 HDR provides an adaptable and high-performance solution for professionals in live broadcasting. With options tailored for either 4G-dominant or 5G-strong environments, the LU800 ensures consistent, high-quality streams regardless of location, making it indispensable for broadcasters and content creators working in fast-paced and variable conditions.
