LiveU · Vehicle contribution
Live video from any vehicle, on the move
When the story moves, your live feed has to move with it. LiveU turns any vehicle — an ENG car, a broadcast truck, a mobile unit — into a bonded-cellular uplink that carries broadcast-quality video back to base over whatever networks are available. No dish to point, no fixed line to find. Power on, and go live.
The problem
Going live on the move is where it gets hard
-
Satellite is slow and costly
A satellite truck takes time to set up, is expensive to run, and needs a clear line of sight you don’t always have.
-
One connection isn’t enough
A single cellular link drops the moment you move through a tunnel, a crowd or a coverage gap — and a dropped feed on air is the one thing you can’t afford.
-
Multi-camera means clutter
Getting several angles back from one vehicle usually means several encoders, several operators and a tangle of cabling.
-
Coverage varies everywhere
The kit that works in the city has to work just as well on a rural road. Reliability can’t depend on which network happens to be strong.
How it works
One resilient signal path, vehicle to broadcast
A LiveU field unit in the vehicle bonds multiple 4G and 5G connections (plus Wi-Fi and satellite where fitted) into a single reliable stream, held together by LiveU’s LRT™ transport. That feed lands at base, ready for your gallery — and on to any destination worldwide.
-
Acquire
A LiveU unit in the vehicle bonds every available network into one uplink, using LRT™ to hold the feed together as you move.
-
Transport
LRT™ balances the stream across all connections live — if one weakens, the others carry the load, so you stay on air.
-
Receive
At base, a LiveU decoder or cloud server turns the incoming stream back into broadcast video, ready for your gallery or playout.
-
Produce & distribute
Cloud production, IP routing and playout tools take the feed on to air and out to any destination — broadcast, online, anywhere.
-
Manage
LiveU Central monitors every unit and connection across your fleet from one dashboard — so you see signal health before you go live.
Why it works
Built for live, wherever the vehicle goes
-
Go live from anywhere
No dish, no fixed line, no site survey — if the vehicle can drive there, you can broadcast from there.
-
Resilient by design
Bonding across many networks means a single weak connection never takes you off air.
-
Multi-camera from one unit
A single LiveU backpack can carry several camera feeds — fewer boxes, fewer operators, less cabling.
-
Fast to deploy
Power on and transmit. Ideal for breaking news and stories that won’t wait for a truck.
-
Broadcast quality
Full HD and 4K contribution — the picture your audience expects, live from the field.
-
Rent or buy
Own your kit, or rent for an event spike or a short deployment. DVT supports both.
