The First High-end Multi-camera Production-Level Field Unit
The LU800-PRO combines multi-camera production and mission-critical transmission with superior video and audio capabilities in a native 5G unit. As reliable as satellite/fiber, the LU800-PRO 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 16 audio channels. Delivering the highest-quality video performance for live news and sports coverage. The LU800-HDR offers unparalleled quality of service and resiliency.
Reliability First
The LU800-PRO multi-camera solution ensures the highest resiliency, leveraging IP bonding of up to 14 connections (cellular, LAN and WiFi) with up to eight 4G/5G internal dual SIM modems, supported high-efficiency internal antennas. Redundancy and cost savings can be achieved using least cost bondin, enabling automatic prioritization of different IP connectons under changing network connections. In challenging cellular areas, extra reliability can be attained using the optional external antenna connections.
End-to-end Remote Production
The LU800-PRO enables complex remote production (REMI), allowing you to send up to 4 fully frame-synced feeds in high resolution (1080p50/60, 10-bit HDR) from a single unit to any remote production center - physical or cloud-based. This allow you to reduce costs and have minimal staff on-site, critical with today's social distancing guidelines.
Multi-angle, On-prem Production
Ideal for on-premise productions, such as football matches, the LU800-PRO provides multi-angle coverage of the game with close interaction with the players for an enhanced fan experience.
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-PRO high speed bonded file transfer.
Extremely rugged design with smaller, more accessible backpack
The LU800-PRO 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.
