LiveU launches Nexus, a universal cloud gateway for the IP world

Developed with the aim of simplifying the input and output of audiovisual assets across all protocols and offering a versatile cloud-native video routing and transformation solution, Nexus joins the ライブユー ecosystem to further expand the company’s cross-platform vision for IP video.

LiveUネクサス transfers IP video content to and from different platforms and environments、含む SDI, SMPTE 2110, and NDI-based production systems, using new and existing ワークフロー. In this way, the solution acts as a universal gateway for all IP-based transmissions within the LiveUエコシステム, offering unlimited access to live transmissions to and from any system, allowing users to input, transform, route, and broadcast any stream in a matter of seconds.

Any type of feed can be connected from anywhere to anywhere, including LiveU’s own LRT (LiveU Reliable Transport), SRT, RTMP, HLS, and others, to local and cloud-based infrastructures. Producers can pull live content from Zoom, YouTube, and other social media platforms with a simple URL or meeting link, without the need for converters or workarounds.

Resolutions, frame rates, aspect ratios, and codec differences are automatically normalized across all sources, ensuring that all signals are instantly compatible with output tools. In addition, any IP stream can be sent to LiveU’s IP cloud ソリューションを含む ライブユースタジオ for cloud production, LiveU インジェスト for recording, or LiveU マトリックス for IP distribution, and integrated with an installed base of LiveU receivers, without the need for additional hardware. In this way, Nexus stands out as a tool capable of performing all types of protocol conversion, and capturing and routing content to and from social networks or web browsers, all supported by the adaptability and scalability of cloud environments.

マット・ザジチェク, vice president of product at LiveU, believes the development responds to the “mountain pressure” broadcasters face to integrate “a growing number of IP and digital video sources.” “LiveU Nexus changes the game, accelerating their digital transformations and future-proofing their digital and IP-video workflows. By cutting technical barriers and costs, production teams can focus on creating great content faster and smarter – while maximizing existing investments. It’s already been successfully tested by customers, and we’re excited about the potential ahead,“ he explains about this solution, which exemplifies how ”interoperability is at the heart of the LiveU ecosystem.”
