The LU900Q is built from the ground up for the beyond-5G era. Combined with LIQ, it includes 5G next-generation modems with a MIMO antenna array, delivering “dramatically enhanced speed, stability, and throughput.”
“Our goal is to give broadcasters and other storytellers the confidence to transmit from any location – whether a packed stadium or remote mountainside,” says Samuel Wasserman, LiveU CEO/co-founder. “The LU900Q is a game changer, not just a new product — it’s a smart, multi-tool powerhouse designed to support diverse production needs, from fast-paced breaking news to complex live productions, all while delivering a new level of business agility. Customers can scale their storytelling with unmatched resiliency, quality, and efficiency – equipped with a robust yet affordable field unit and the flexibility to add extra features, including on demand.”
The unit comes in an ergonomic backpack with a super long battery, with the potential to provide over seven hours of runtime for double endurance. It is also engineered for any climate with a rugged, shock-absorbing frame and advanced cooling, which means that the LU900Q is always good to go.
The LU900Q acts as an intelligent multi-tool that “breathes new life into existing production equipment. It seamlessly integrates with SDI, HDMI, and IP production gear – from ENG cameras and PTZ systems to drones and beyond. This protocol agnostic approach allows crews to pull any combination of gear in their workflow to suit the needs at hand,” LiveU says.
Another key development is the introduction of dual video return and dual intercom, bringing the benefits of the studio to reporters in the field. The unit also offers single or dual camera production workflows, “transforming rigid broadcast setups into dynamic, adaptable production environments, and includes key new features, such as native analytics.”
For high-end productions, it delivers 10-bit HDR 4:2:2 encoding with up to 32 audio channels, providing the uncompromising performance with accurate geolocation required for main sports feeds, moveable sports and critical backup applications.
For file-based workflows, the LU900Q accelerates faster file uploads directly to media asset management (MAM) systems, integrated with the LiveU Ingest automatic recording and story metadata logging solution. The unit also supports uploading full folders or full SD cards, as well as file by file.
LiveU says the LU900Q “introduces a new paradigm in broadcast and sports economics through software-defined capabilities that can be adapted to production needs in real time. All the advanced features the LU900Q brings to the table are easily activated via a dynamic software license that can be activated on-demand or as a subscription, making it the most modular mobile encoder out there. Customers can start with a basic hardware configuration and add software modules to match capabilities to requirements – delivering unprecedented cost-effectiveness and operational flexibility.
“This platform-like approach means broadcasters can ramp their storytelling capabilities up or down based on immediate needs, eliminating the traditional barriers between different production workflows and budget constraints.”
“We’re proud to unveil the latest evolution in our product portfolio – purpose-built to meet the fast-changing demands of modern live production. At LiveU, we introduce many hardware products, but this one is truly special,” said Gideon Gilboa, LiveU chief product officer. “It’s built on an entirely new technology stack that’s designed to be future-proof, allowing us to continue enhancing this device with many more software releases over the next five years. But it’s not just about future readiness – this device reflects the voices of the tens of thousands of users we have in the field. We’ve worked hard to incorporate the most requested and mission-critical features from our incredible customer base, which includes some of the largest and most advanced broadcasters in the world.”
