LiveU launches Nexus IP video gateway

LiveU has launched Nexus, a cloud-native platform for moving content between SDI, SMPTE 2110 and NDI-based production systems. 

Nexus offers unlimited access to live feeds to and from any systems, letting users bring in, transform, route and output any stream. Any types of feeds can be connected from anywhere, to anywhere, including LiveU’s own LRT (LiveU Reliable Transport), SRT, RTMP, HLS and more to on-premises and cloud-based infrastructure. Producers can also pull in live content from Zoom, YouTube and other social media platforms with a URL or meeting link. 

Resolutions, frame rates, aspect ratio, and codec differences are automatically normalized across the feeds, and IP streams can be sent into LiveU’s IP cloud solutions, including LiveU Studio for cloud production, LiveU Ingest for recording, or LiveU Matrix for IP distribution, and integrated with an installed base of LiveU receivers, without the need for additional hardware or configurations. 

Matt Zajicek, VP of product at LiveU, said: “Broadcasters are under mounting pressure 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.”
