Rackmount contribution encoder for vehicles and fixed locations
The LU610S is LiveU’s professional 1U HEVC rackmount encoder for vehicles and fixed locations, combining unparalleled video performance with extreme bandwidth efficiency.
Professional REMI contribution encoder for production trucks and fixed locations, combining unparalleled video performance with extreme bandwidth efficiency. The LU610S supports wired as well as 5G/4G bonded transmission for superior reliability.
Versatile vehicle contribution solution
The LU610S serves as a key element in your production van, transmitting live video from the vehicle to your on-site or remote production facility. Equipped with two external 5G/4G modems and optional upgradable to six internal 4G/5G modems, it lets you flexibly adapt to your location needs, switching between cellular, wired & satellite connectivity to achieve the highest quality transmission in any scenario. Transmission quality and costs can be further optimized using LiveU's least cost bonding feature.
Cost-effective, fixed point-to-point solution
The LU610S can be used as an alternative for fiber and satellite-based productions, supporting broadcast-grade, low-delay video transmission between stations or from venues/stadiums to your remote production center. As a fixed location encoder, the LU610S allows you to significantly cut your production costs, ensuring resilient live video transmission over the public internet.
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.
