LiveU LU4000 4K/Quad HD 1RU Rackmount Video Decoder Server

Take your live video production to the next level with the LiveU LU4000 4K/Quad HD 1RU Rackmount Video Decoder Server, designed for delivering the highest video quality in professional broadcasting environments. This versatile 4K/quad HD rack-mount decoder is engineered to receive, decode, playout, and stream any HEVC/H.264 4K or multi-camera video feeds, making it an indispensable component of your live video workflow.

The LU4000 serves as a crucial in-studio or on-site source for live feeds, seamlessly integrating with any LiveU field unit or the LiveU Matrix cloud video distribution platform. This multi-purpose decoder supports a single 4K transmission over 12G-SDI, as well as up to four full HD independent transmissions from different units via 4 x 3G/HD/SD-SDI. It is also optimized for multi-camera productions, capable of receiving and playing out up to four fully synced feeds from a single LU800 unit.

With its ability to receive multiple preview feeds, the LU4000 empowers remote operators to select and play out the desired feeds for local consumption. Built for maximum workflow flexibility, it offers a variety of output options, including SDI, NDI, RTMP, MPEG-TS, and SRT. Live streams are efficiently managed and controlled through the LiveU Central cloud-based management platform or the LiveU Control+ App, ensuring seamless operation.

Enhance your production capabilities with LiveU's cloud-based decoders, known as "cloud channels." These allow you to effortlessly receive LRT feeds from your LiveU field units and output them to various online or digital destinations, as well as cloud-based production platforms. Supporting multiple protocols such as NDI, RTMP, MPEG-TS, and SRT, these cloud channels can be dynamically added as supplementary channels or used as your primary receiving channel.

Transform your LU4000 into a mobile receiver, enabling the transmission of live feeds directly from the field to your production truck. This feature offers a cost-effective on-site production solution by eliminating the need for line-of-sight infrastructure, cables, and internet sourcing, thereby reducing setup times and costs.

The LU4000 is Matrix enabled, facilitating the seamless sharing of live feeds with multiple internal and cross-organizational endpoints. This is achieved through cost-effective and reliable IP-based distribution over the public internet. Powered by LiveU Reliable Transport (LRT), the LU4000 optimizes live video delivery to various SDI and/or IP destinations, dynamically adjusting bitrate and quality to ensure the best viewing experience.
