LiveU Partners With Sony To Expand Professional Video Transmission

LiveU, a provider of video-over-bonded-IP transmission, today announced a partnership with Sony Corp. Through this collaboration, LiveU said it “aims to maximize the credibility, efficiency, and immediacy of customers’ content by providing tools that enable truly agile news and production workflows.”

At IBC 2025, Sony introduced the LiveU TX1, a compact field transmission unit designed specifically for Sony’s professional camera range and workflow. LiveU is sharing further details spotlighting how this collaboration will create new possibilities for customers across the broadcast industry by expanding adoption of the LRT (LiveU Resilient Transport) protocol.

LiveU says: “The compact LiveU TX1 provides broadcast professionals with easy access to resilient, ultra-fast file transfer from the camera to the unit, with stored files transmitted via LiveU’s patented LRT (LiveU Reliable Transport) protocol. It uses multiple bonded connections for superior video performance and reliability. TX1 was developed by LiveU under the collaborative partnership to provide seamless integration into Sony’s ecosystem.”

LiveU says the TX1 is a mobile file-transfer and transmission unit designed specifically to deliver fast file transfer and reliable bonded connectivity for Sony’s professional cameras, including the newly launched Sony’s PXW-Z300. “With its small form factor, LiveU TX1 is easily mounted on Sony’s camera, shortening production workflows. This development marks the initial milestone in a partnership between Sony and LiveU, featuring LiveU’s first fully native, dedicated integration gateway.”

Masakazu Murata, Sony head of media solutions business, says: “Our customers want to be able to deliver files shot on camcorders from wherever the story takes them, back to their galleries, easily, swiftly and reliably. Through our collaboration with LiveU, the leading company in video-over-bonded-IP transmission, we are now able to offer customers a workflow integrated with Sony’s ecosystem even for mission-critical operations that require bonding. We look forward to working with LiveU to further streamline workflows and make a significant contribution to the broadcast industry.”

Samuel Wasserman, LiveU CEO/co-founder, add: “We are proud to announce this important collaboration with Sony, the global leader in electronics, gaming, entertainment, and imaging technologies. This partnership represents a strong vote of confidence in LiveU’s cutting-edge technology and the innovation we bring — and will continue to bring — to the market. I would like to thank the Sony team for their professional and collaborative spirit and wish us all great success on our shared journey.”

The LiveU TX1 will be available through accredited Sony’s distributors and resellers, with availability details to be announced in 2026.
