LiveU will celebrate its 20th anniversary by starting “the Q era” at IBC 2026

From UHD coverage of the most challenging connectivity contexts to workflow automation: LiveU will demonstrate how AI-powered “connectivity intelligence” transforms IP video ecosystems into IBC 2026, an event that will take place from September 11 to 14 in Amsterdam.

IBC 2026 will mark, in her own words LiveU, a new chapter in its history, which reaches two decades of life. He will do it with a cross view that takes advantage of the potential of artificial intelligence with IP production and distribution contexts that have already proven to be able to satisfy the demands of especially complex coverage.

Hardware will continue to be key at this stage of LiveU, as the backpack will demonstrate LU900Q. Being the first unit designed natively around LiveU IQ (LIQ), the solution is capable of applying AI-based connectivity intelligence and intelligent carrier selection to optimize performance in real time.

Designed for multi-camera workflows, the device combines native LIQ connectivity, advanced eSIM technology, modems 5G and a set of MIMO antennas with support for SDI, HDMI, USB and IP camera inputs. Offers HD/4K streaming with 10-bit 4:2:2 HDR encoding, up to 32 audio channels, dual video return, dual intercom with integrated Bluetooth audio and wireless file transfer to streamline the process from the field to production.

Gideon Gilboa, commercial director of LiveU, points out that this backpack comes to revolutionize the sector by providing the “best option for bonding"The industry is moving from an application-centric to a workflow-centric approach as our customers seek to manage greater volumes of content at lower cost and at greater speed. Focusing Grandma on history and prioritizing digital are no longer trade show slogans. They are a reality for our clients as they transform the way they produce news. “With the LiveU EcoSystem, they can now create those workflows and develop their own agents to automate them.”

An open ecosystem that continues to expand

LiveU's open, modular ecosystem encompasses contribution, production, ingestion, coordination, and distribution. In IBC 2026, this vision continues to expand with Cuez, a company that will allow the automation of workflows to be extended to the management of newsrooms and broadcast scripts based on the cloud.

Likewise, the Amsterdam fair marks the European presentation of LiveU's collaboration with Sony, first announced in April. It will be exhibited, and is now available, the LiveU TX1, a compact camera-mounted unit that has been designed specifically for Sony's professional camera range and offers “fast and reliable” file transfer via bundled connection directly from the camera. The license will also be displayed Sony RXS Connection, which allows direct file transfer from compatible Sony cameras to the PWA-RXS solution via compatible LiveU field units, starting with the compact LU300S.

IP and automation, keys for the Q era of LiveU

LiveU will also go deeper during IBC 2026 on Nexus, a universal gateway for digital and IP workflows that converts, normalizes and routes signals over LRT, SRT and RTMP, bridging social, online and remote sources with traditional broadcast operations. In addition to offering seamless digital feed integration for Zoom, Teams, and YouTube, it can be used as a scanning converter for any web content.

In addition, the keys of LiveU Studio, a cloud-native production service for video switching, audio mixing or graphics insertion. The platform enables multi-output cloud production, allowing teams to distribute multiple signals in multiple formats from a single production.

From the point of view of workflow automation, LiveU Ingest It will aim to “replace” manual and fragmented processes with a single news-centric workflow, for both live and file-based content, ranging from planning and scheduling, to metadata ingestion and enrichment.

Actus X continues to ensure AI compliance

Digital Act, a company belonging to LiveU, will present the latest capabilities of Act X, a modular, browser-based platform that unifies compliance logging, low-latency multi-viewing, QA monitoring, clip creation, and AI-powered media intelligence. By combining compliance logging and multi-viewing in less than a second on a single platform, Actus

Designed for modern broadcast workflows, Actus media equipment gain real-time visibility across all channels, while optimizing content monitoring and distribution operations, among other functions.
