The LiveU LU800 8-Modem Bonded Cellular Video Streaming Encoder is a groundbreaking solution for live broadcasting, offering unmatched connectivity and versatility in the field. Built to meet the demands of modern media production, the LU800 is powered by eight internal 5G/4G LTE modems, ensuring that your live streams maintain a stable and high-quality signal, even in remote or high-traffic environments.

Designed for large-scale productions, the LU800 supports multi-camera workflows, enabling simultaneous transmission from up to four cameras in HD or a single feed in 4K HDR. This feature allows production teams to deliver complex, multi-angle live coverage from events such as sports games, concerts, or live news reports. The unit's support for HEVC (H.265) and H.264 encoding ensures efficient bandwidth usage while maintaining superior video quality.

With its advanced bonded cellular technology, the LU800 aggregates multiple network connections, including cellular, Wi-Fi, and LAN, to deliver a resilient and seamless live stream. This is especially useful in situations where network conditions may fluctuate, such as on-the-go reporting or outdoor event coverage. The system's low-latency performance ensures that live broadcasts are delivered with minimal delay, keeping viewers engaged with real-time updates.

The LU800's compact yet durable design makes it an ideal choice for field reporters, sports broadcasters, and event production crews who need high-performance video transmission in a portable unit. The encoder supports remote production workflows, enabling video content to be transmitted directly to production facilities or cloud-based systems, which simplifies complex productions and reduces the need for large on-site teams.

In addition, the LU800 can be easily integrated into existing production environments and workflows, making it a versatile solution for broadcasters and content creators who need reliable, high-quality video streaming in any location.
