LiveU · Contribution

Permanent live contribution from any venue

Some live sources never move. A stadium, a studio, a house of parliament, a lecture theatre, a court — the feed has to be there every day, not packed away after each event. LiveU’s fixed-location encoders install once and deliver reliable, broadcast-grade IP contribution from that venue, day in and day out, over bonded IP and your existing network.

The problem

A permanent venue needs a permanent feed

Gear that packs away isn’t enough

A venue that broadcasts regularly needs a dependable feed that’s always live — not kit set up and torn down for every event.
Fixed links are costly and rigid

Traditional dedicated contribution circuits are expensive to install and inflexible once they’re in — hard to change as your production grows.
One venue, many feeds

Multi-court, multi-stage and multi-studio venues want several simultaneous feeds — without a rack of separate encoders for each one.
The move to IP

Facilities standardising on IP and SMPTE ST 2110 need contribution kit that speaks the same language natively, not another box to convert.

How it works

Install once, contribute reliably forever

A rack-mount LiveU encoder lives permanently at the venue and bonds your available IP connections into one stable uplink, held together by LiveU’s LRT™ transport. That feed — or several from a single box — lands at base, ready for your gallery and on to any destination.

LiveU fixed-contribution signal path: a rack-mount encoder at the venue bonds IP connections into one stable stream that lands on a receiver or ST 2110 facility at base, then out to production and distribution

Install

A rack-mount encoder is fitted permanently at the venue and bonds your IP connections into one stable, always-on uplink.
Transport

LRT™ balances the stream across every connection live — if one path weakens, the others carry the load, so the venue stays on air.
Four in one

A single fixed encoder can carry up to four independent feeds — multiple courts, stages or studios back from one rack unit.
Receive

At base, a LiveU decoder turns the incoming stream back into broadcast video — including a native SMPTE ST 2110 path for IP facilities.
Manage

Central, Matrix and Studio run the fixed feed alongside your mobile fleet from one place — the same ecosystem, one dashboard.

Why it works

Built to stay live, year after year

Install once, live forever

Fit it once and the venue contributes reliably from then on — no rig-and-strike for every broadcast.
Many feeds, one box

Up to four independent feeds from a single rack unit — multi-court, multi-stage and multi-studio without the encoder pile.
Native IP path

A native SMPTE ST 2110 receive option slots straight into modern IP facilities — no extra conversion in the chain.
Managed centrally

The fixed feed lives in the same dashboard as your mobile units — one view of signal health across the whole operation.
Scales with you

Start with one studio and grow to a whole venue on the same platform — add feeds as your production expands.
Broadcast quality

Full HD and 4K contribution from a permanent install — the picture your audience expects, every day.

The kit

LiveU units for fixed contribution

From a four-input venue encoder to a single-input studio unit and the decoders that receive them at base — the right rack depends on your venue and how many feeds you run. Talk to us and we’ll spec it with you.
