LiveU (www.liveu.tv), the leader in portable live video-over-cellular solutions, today announced that LiveU is now compatible with Sony's professional PDW-700 camcorder for live video coverage.
Supported by a LiveU dedicated bracket, Sony customers and LiveU customers can now use their respective products together and benefit from an improved workflow. This workflow offers customers an integrated video camera and live video uplink solution, utilizing LiveU's handheld LU40 video uplink device and Sony's XDCAM professional shoulder-mounted camcorders starting with the PDW-700 model.
Ariel Galinsky, LiveU's VP of Business and Corporate Development said, "Video-over-cellular technology has become part of mainstream newsgathering equipment among Tier 1 broadcasters. We're happy to strengthen our offering in the professional video ecosystem by enabling a better workflow with Sony, one of the industry's market leaders. We look forward to continuing the development of this next generation, all-in-one live camera solution for broadcasting customers and others worldwide."
LiveU's LU40 handheld HD video device provides a high-quality, simple to use and cost-effective uplink solution for live newsgathering and online coverage of events. With up to six network connections and weighing less than 1.5 pounds (700 grams), the bonded LU40 offers 4G LTE/3G, WiMAX, Wi-Fi and LAN video transmission in a substantially smaller form factor. With its integral touchscreen, the LU40 provides simple yet flexible mechanisms for either local or remote control.
