LiveU shares the key features of LU300S, its latest 4K HDR field unit via 5G

The LU300S, the Ao vivoU latest big bet, will harness the power of 5G to stream up to 4K content at 10-bit HDR.

Based on LiveU’s proven LiveU Reliable Transport (LRT) technology and with dual SIM support, the new LU300S unit is capable of delivering broadcast-quality video streams with support for up to six IP connections, including four 5G/4G, WiFi e LAN connections. Furthermore, latest solution by Ao vivoU is notable for being able to deliver up to 4Kp60 10-bit HDR streams via 12G-SDI or HDMI, as well as being able to contribute up to eight channels of audio.

With a simple set-up, the unit can be managed both remotely from the comfort of the production control centre and locally by field crews via the unit’s intuitive interface, as part of a cost-effective remote production workflow (REMI).

Weighing in at just 900 grams and with its different usage options (camera stand, cross-body backpack and waist or kangaroo bag), the solution aims to free up field crews to concentrate on the story and get the best possible coverage, from all angles.
