The chain · field to everywhere
every family below sits on this chain · START AT THE FIELD ↓
// why liveu through varto
Both ends of the link, designed by one desk.
Sales nationwide with the receive side and cloud path designed in, not left as an exercise. Rentals that arrive configured with SIMs live, down to the batteries. Experienced transmission operators for crowded venues and high-stakes events. Configuration, bonding strategy, and troubleshooting from people who use the gear, not just stock it.
// contribution · field units
Field units, from flagship to belt pack.
Bonded 5G contribution at three honest tiers. Licenses tune each unit to the show: HD to 4K, single to multi-camera. Rackmount encoders live in their own family below.
Demo available · Rental fleet
LU800
The production-standard multi-camera field unit: native 5G bonding with license tiers from PRO-HD to PRO4 multi-cam, and the unit our own rental fleet standardizes on. Rentals ship configured with data live; operators optional.
For: news, sports, event producers who transmit for a living
Flagship · New
LU900Q
The flagship of LiveU’s newest generation: 4K over HDMI or SDI at up to 100Mbps, 16 audio channels per camera, and dual-camera capability arriving on the H2 2026 license cycle. We quote it with the receive path designed in.
For: flagship field production
Demo available · Rental fleet
LU300S
Compact 5G contribution with 4K 10-bit HDR in the PRO-4K tier, in 4G and 5G builds with camera-mount and belt-pack options. The unit that made bonded transmission normal for one-person crews.
For: worship, education, community broadcasters, run-and-gun news
Legacy · Installed-base support · Trade-up available
LU600
The unit that set the portable standard, now succeeded in the current line. We support the installed base, and when the show starts asking for more, we will tell you plainly whether LU800 or a rackmount encoder is the honest replacement.
For: current LU600 owners
Contact for availability
Public safety: LU-REQON1
LiveU’s plug-and-play unit for public safety, built to share a real-time Common Operating Picture from vehicles, drones, and field teams. Agency purchasing runs through dedicated channels; call and we will route it properly.
For: law enforcement, emergency management, critical infrastructure
// contribution · rackmount encoders
Rackmount contribution, and the phone in every pocket.
LiveU’s rackmount contribution family: bonded encoding for trucks, venues, and fixed sites, where the field unit’s job lives in a rack.
LU810
The rackmount family lead: 5G multi-camera contribution with a PRO-4K 10-bit HDR license path, built for vehicles and fixed locations where the field unit’s job lives in a rack.
For: trucks, venues, fixed contribution points
LU610S
Single-channel 5G rackmount: 1080p60 HEVC PRO with a 4K upgrade path. For SNG trucks, flypacks, and fixed links without multi-camera density.
LU300Se Contact for availability
The compact 4K contribution encoder in the current line, for tight installs where even one rack unit is too many.
LiveU Transceiver
The 1RU encoder-decoder that both sends and receives LRT feeds, two channels upgradable to four. For bidirectional sites.
LU-Smart
Bonded contribution from iOS and Android phones inside the same LRT workflow; stringers and second angles, cheap to add. For news operations.
IP Pipe · DataBridge
Transparent IP and data bridging over the bonded links your video rides: control, prompter, files, telemetry. For REMI and field engineering.
// more connectivity & management
LU-LINK. The cloud service linking field units to the Mobile Receiver on site. Quote →

For: remote productions, lean teams, multi-platform delivery
LiveU Ingest
Real-time cloud recorders in single, quad, and eight-channel builds, plus physical servers with dual power: field feeds land in post as files, not as a capture project.
For: news and sports post workflows

For: compliance, highlights, re-air
// management & orchestration
Command the fleet; share the feeds.
LiveU Central · Schedule · IQ
Central is the command GUI for every unit; Schedule orchestrates 50 to 500 units against real bookings; IQ adds the smart-connectivity layer. Our own rental fleet runs under the same discipline.
For: fleet owners, station groups
LiveU Matrix
Feed sharing and distribution across desks, stations, and partners: IP and SRT inputs, pool participation, Dynamic Share, and recording slots, managed instead of emailed.
For: groups and content partnerships

Rental fleet
LU2000
The 1RU bonded decode workhorse in single, dual, and quad-output builds; receive, decode, play out, and distribute HEVC and H.264 feeds where the plant expects SDI.
For: control rooms, MCRs
LU4000 · LU4000 ST 2110
Single-4K or quad-HD receive in HEVC and a dedicated ST 2110 build with dual power: the decoders for plants that moved past SDI-only thinking. Cloud Channel decoding and the field-side Mobile Receiver round out the receive family; ask when the venue is the receive site.
For: IP-first facilities, field receive
Video Return · Audio Connect
Return video to the field (on-prem servers or VRaaS) and Dante-integrated audio over the same bonded relationship: confidence monitoring and comms without a second truck.
For: REMI shows with real talkback needs
// connectivity services
Data, handled like part of the kit.
Data plans and roaming options are scoped with sales and rental packages as required: rental SIMs arrive installed and live, heavy-usage events get scoped at quote, and nobody discovers connectivity math on show day. Plan terms are quote-time facts, not web copy.
// which unit
Field tiers and rack encoders, one honest table.
// rent-before-buy is normal here; the fleet exists so the answer can be proven on your show first
// where it sits
Field to studio, one relationship.
A game in a concrete gym, a benefit on a landmark stage, a briefing on a town green: the unit bonds the connectivity that exists, LRT carries it, and the feed lands in your switcher, our studio, or a cloud production, with return video and comms riding the same path. We design both ends, because the receive side decides whether the field side matters.
// proof
Proof from the field.
No second chances
Varto has supported a nationally streamed charity benefit’s transmission across consecutive annual events on a fully redundant chain, and bonded field kits from this desk let community broadcasters cover football without a truck.
The relationship: LiveU authorized partner · sales nationwide · rentals · SIMs · operators, NY metro · receive-side planning and integration where the workflow requires it
// straight answers
What transmission buyers ask.
Buy or rent?
Rent for the event calendar, buy when transmission is weekly; we will do that math with you honestly.
Do rentals include data?
Yes, SIMs arrive installed and live; heavy-usage events get scoped at quote.
Can you receive the feed for us?
Yes: your infrastructure, a cloud path, or ours, configured before the unit ships.
Is my LU600 still good?
It is supported, and it is a generation behind. When the show starts demanding more, the upgrade conversation is one call, with the current line’s real tiers instead of nostalgia.
What about operators?
Experienced transmission techs, NY metro, who have held signal in crowded venues while the producer produced. Say so at quote and the operator is part of the package.
// hold the signal
Tell us the date and the venue.
Buying, renting, or building the whole field-to-studio chain: the desk quotes the package in one pass, receive side included.
