The First High-end Production-Level Field Unit
The LU800-HDR combines superior video and audio capabilities with mission-critical transmision in a native 5G unit. As reliable as satellite/fiber, the LU800-HDR offers a highly cost-effective solution for complex remote productions.
The LU800-HDR enables complex remote production (REMI), supporting up to 4Kp60 10-bit HDR transmission for optimal color depth and richness, as well as up to 4 audio channels. Delivering the highest-quality video performance for live news and sports coverage. The LU800-HDR offers unparalleled quality of service and resiliency.
Super-fast file transfer
Get content back to the studio without worrying about slow internet speeds. Easily upload edited files directly from your laptop to the station using the LU800-HDR high speed bonded file transfer.
Extremely rugged design with smaller, more accessible backpack
The LU800-HDR comes with a smaller, more accessible backpack with an ergonomic multi-functional design. Constructed with lightweight, robust aluminum alloy with soft rubber edges for better shock absorption in rough environments, the unit is fail-safe in any location or situation.
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.
