Sporting Breakthrough
for 4K HEVC Technology
The introduction of LiveU's LU600 4K HEVC solution last year marked a major
milestone for the company's live technology...

EVC encoding offers not only ultimate
quality 4K, but also provides the option of
massively reducing bandwidth usage at lower
resolutions.
With 4K now possible, we're seeing growing
use for premium quality content beyond
news, particularly in the sports sector. This
was exemplified at this year's Winter Games
in PyeongChang, South Korea, where LiveU
supported 72 global broadcasters from over

LiveU tech provided coverage for Absa Cape Epic

40 countries with a record number of
bonded cellular units.
We're now in the midst of the largest
deployment of LiveU HEVC units to date
in Russia at the FIFA World Cup™, with
over 300 units currently covering the
tournament in the 12 host cities. We have
a dedicated operation team on site, all
English and Russian-speaking, providing
24/7 service and support.

could take our live streaming production to
a whole new level, with real-time, broadcastquality pictures coming from the course."
Another example of an innovative sports
organisation using LiveU for dynamic,
cost-effective live broadcasting is Griiip,
manufacturer of the G1, a new tech-packed,
entry-level Formula race car. Griiip teamed up
with LiveU to live stream the first race of the
G1 Series on a dedicated web site to attract
both new and existing motor racing fans.
Future races will also be available on
Facebook Live.
LiveU is constantly adapting its portfolio
to meet the needs of tier-1 broadcasters
and other customers. We have recently
added a professional HEVC 4K-SDI card
for an additional 4K product offering,
facilitating
professional
4Kp50/60
streaming for top-quality production,
supporting VR and 360 applications. The
LU600 solution also offers a fully integrated
hybrid roaming solution for hassle-free local
and global operation - every LU600 can be
a local and global unit without needing to
replace or obtain local SIMs in over 100
countries worldwide.
LiveU's full product portfolio is on display at
