The 4G-5G rapid mobile video streaming expert, Israeli company LiveU, has recently launched the LU500 live streaming processing device.
The new LU500 weighs approximately 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds), exemplifying the perfect combination of high performance and portability. It features a brand-new multi-processor video encoding engine and a fourth-generation patented bonding algorithm. With a startup time of less than one minute, the LU500 enables reporters to capture rapidly changing events and fast-paced action scenes.
LiveU's proprietary internal antenna supports a greater number of frequencies, ensuring enhanced signal performance with increased long-distance reception and uplink capabilities. The optimized available bandwidth allows the LU500 to deliver broadcast-quality HD live video.

The optimized available bandwidth allows the LU500 to deliver broadcast-quality HD live video using the unit's dedicated power pack. Furthermore, the LU500 series is fully compatible with Anton Bauer's V-Lock and PAG batteries, and can also operate with direct DC power. The LU500 offers various power options and hot-swappable capabilities, allowing for extended operation time without any downtime, supporting even the longest live event broadcasts.
