Powerful Compact HEVC Field Unit for On-the-go Live Streaming
The LU300Se is a small-sized 4K HEVC contribution encoder, enabling point to point, and point to multi-point transmission for a fraction of the cost of other solutions. It also doubles as a content source for live video distribution via LiveU Matrix.
Leveraging LiveU's Reliable Transport protocol (LRT™), the encoder provides the latest bonding technology over wired internet with an option for cellular over USB ports, reliably transmitting 4K broadcast-grade video quality.
With LiveU’s professional-grade hardware HEVC technology at its core, the LU300Se combines high-quality video performance with extreme bandwidth efficiency. This provides content creators with the same video quality as H.264 while using about half the bandwidth. Unlike common HEVC software solutions, the LU300Se can encode in HEVC format at all times, allowing users to operate in real-time with extreme low latency and the highest quality, even at very low bitrates.
Native 5G field unit for extra reliability
With inherent support for 5G, the LU300Se delivers the highest bandwidth and ultra-low latency. Two external LiveU 5G cellular modem sticks can be connected for higher bandwidth productions and greater reliabilit. The LU300Se offers rock-solid reliability in the most challenging scenarios.
Mission-critical IP bonding in a small form-factor
Weighing just over 900 g (2 lb), the LU300Se offers resilient bonding in a compact and lightweight portable unit! Supporting up to 20 Mbps with PRO 4K licenese, the unit combines up to six IP connections: 4 cellular, WiFi and LAN, based on LiveU’s patented HEVC bonding technology.
LRT™ (LiveU Reliable Transport)
LiveU’s unique Reliable Transport protocol (LRT™) is at the heart of LiveU products to deliver optimized video performance. LRT™ enables reliable, low delay live video streaming over non-guaranteed IP networks and ensures reliable transport over the most unreliable of networks, including cellular networks - allowing you to acquire exciting live content in even the most remote locations.
PACKET ORDERING
LRT uses numbered packets so that the packets can be re-ordered when they arrive out of order. Packet Ordering is an absolute requirement with connection bonding, where data usually arrives in a different order than intended.
DYNAMIC FORWARD ERROR CORRECTION
Forward Error Correction (FEC) adds some overhead to the stream to recover lost data faster. LRT automatically varies the FEC parameters based on monitored network conditions.
ACKNOWLEDGE AND RESEND
LRT can acknowledge large groups of packets if they all arrived. If some did not arrive, it can inform the streaming engine to resend needed data. By acknowledging large groups of packets at a time, LRT uses less overhead and latency. Unlike UDP, LRT gives complete feedback loop so the user knows that the data is arriving correctly.
ADAPTIVE BIT RATE ENCODING
As the bandwidth condition changes, LRT automatically recognizes this and informs the video encoder to allow it to adapt the bit rate of video it is delivering and keep the best possible stream within the available bandwidth at any given moment.
