LiveU LU2000 HD 1U Rack-Mount Decoder

HD 1U rack-mount decoder for the highest video quality.   Receive, decode, playout, stream and distribute any HEVC/H.264 or multi-camera video feeds.

Model: LU2000

Part of your workflow

The LU2000 is an essential part of your live video workflow, acting as your in-studio or on-site source for live feeds coming from any LiveU field unit or from the Matrix cloud video distribution platform.


Multi-purpose decoder

The LU2000 can support up to four full HD independent transmissions from different field units (over 4 x 3G/HD/SD–SDI). It can also support multi-camera production, receiving up to four fully synced feeds from a single LU800 unit.


Any output type

The LU2000 can receive multiple preview feeds, allowing the remote operator to select the feed/s played out for local consumption. Built for maximum workflow flexibility, it offers multiple output options including SDI, NDI, RTMP, MPEG-TS and SRT.

Live streams are managed and controlled via the LiveU Central cloud-based management platform or the LiveU Control+ App.


Enabling ground-to-cloud productions

LU2000 is also available in the cloud! LiveU’s cloud-based decoders, “cloud channels”, allow you to seamlessly receive LRT™ feeds from your LiveU field units and output them to various online/digital destinations and/or your cloud-based production platforms.

Supporting multiple protocols, including NDI, RTMP, MPEG-TS and SRT, the cloud channels can be dynamically added as supplementary channels alongside your physical LU2000 receiver or utilized as your primary receiving channel.


Turn your LU2000 into a mobile receiver

Transmit live feeds from the field directly to your production truck as part of a cost-effective on-site production solution. Cut costs and reduce set-up times, by eliminating the need to set up line-of-sight infrastructure, cables and internet sourcing.
