IBC2024: LiveU to showcase dedicated lightweight sports production solution and tech enhancements
LiveU is set to unveil its efficient and nimble cloud live production solutions and a range of new tech advancements at IBC2024. Leveraging the latest developments in remote production and cloud-based services, LiveU’s Lightweight Production offers a swift-to-deploy turnkey solution, designed to dramatically reduce the cost of live production, and enable more stories to be told to a wider audience across more platforms.
The IBC2024 spotlight will be on LiveU’s new Lightweight Sports Production solution, which will feature dedicated sports production tools, to be unveiled during the show. The solution opens up fresh avenues for bringing more sports stories to a broader fan base, while significantly reducing time, effort and cost. Moreover, it makes coverage feasible for sports events previously overlooked due to prohibitive costs.
LiveU’s Lightweight Production offering makes selected components of LiveU’s IP-video EcoSystem even easier to access and faster to deploy. These include portable field encoders, LiveU Studio, the only LRT native, cloud-based video production service, and IP-video optimised mobile data products. Seamless integration with third-party graphics and social engagement tools equips customers with full control from just one browser screen.
In addition, LiveU will present a new user experience for LiveU Studio with enhanced usability and intuitive controls, placing the mixing of a professional program feed within the reach of more storytellers.
The LiveU EcoSystem, known for its contribution, production and distribution solutions, will be further enhanced with new developments across ground-to-cloud-to-crowd technologies and story-centric workflows for greater efficiency and flexibility. Also on display will be LiveU Analytics, a new insights tool that leverages IP-video data for improved workflow management.
“In the 18 years that LiveU has been helping broadcasters, sports organisations and storytellers to overcome many of the challenges, costs and complexities of live video production, we’ve seen audience needs radically change,” said Steve Wind-Mozley, LiveU’s CMO. “At the IBC Show in September we’ll focus on cost-effective Lightweight Production workflows, which make niche content creation viable on a repeatable scale. We’ll be also showing our genre-specific developments, which are heavy hitting when it comes to improving the bottom line.”
