With its innovative IP-video solutions, LiveU is positioned as the backbone of global coverage, providing broadcasters with powerful tools to deliver high-quality, real-time video streams.

LiveU’s Role at the 2024 Summer Games

LiveU is deploying its state-of-the-art LU800 multi-cam encoders and cloud-based solutions, including LiveU Matrix, to streamline live broadcasting from various Olympic venues across Paris. These technologies enable broadcasters to capture live footage from multiple angles and transmit it directly to centralized production studios. With enhanced 5G connectivity and optimized data plans, LiveU ensures seamless, high-quality video streaming, even in densely populated areas like stadiums.

How 5G Technology is Enhancing Live Broadcasts

One of the key innovations LiveU is bringing to the 2024 Summer Olympics is the deployment of native 5G technology. LiveU’s 5G-ready portable units provide broadcasters with ultra-low latency and highly resilient live streams. This advanced technology allows for cost-effective remote production, eliminating the need for traditional broadcast methods like fiber or satellite. By using 5G, LiveU guarantees uninterrupted live coverage, even in challenging environments where network congestion is a concern.

By reducing the need for satellite trucks and large production setups, LiveU’s cloud-based solutions help decrease the carbon footprint of the Summer Games coverage. Their solutions are not only efficient but also cost-effective, making live production more accessible for broadcasters around the world.
