Pulse Analysis
The broadcast industry is in the midst of a digital‑first transformation, with audiences expecting high‑quality live streams across linear, OTT and social platforms. LiveU’s expanded IP‑video ecosystem, unveiled at NAB Show 2026, directly addresses this shift by offering modular, cloud‑native tools that replace costly legacy gear. By integrating AI‑driven automation, the suite reduces manual intervention, accelerates content turnaround, and ensures broadcast‑grade reliability even in challenging environments.
At the heart of the announcement is the LU900Q, a compact field unit equipped with native LiveU IQ, eSIM, 5G‑optimised modems and a MIMO antenna array. This hardware delivers 4:2:2 encoding, dual‑camera support, and seamless connectivity to LiveU’s broader ecosystem. Complementary products such as LiveU Nexus act as a universal gateway, translating protocols like LRT, SRT and RTMP into a unified IP workflow, while LiveU Studio extends production capabilities to the cloud, enabling remote teams to switch, record and replay multiple feeds from a browser‑based interface.
For broadcasters, the combined offering translates into tangible business benefits: lower operating expenses, faster time‑to‑air, and the ability to scale production without investing in new physical infrastructure. Actus Digital’s Actus X further enhances compliance and quality assurance with ATSC 3.0 monitoring and sub‑second multiviewer tools, reducing manual oversight. As the market continues to prioritize flexible, multi‑platform delivery, LiveU’s ecosystem positions it as a strategic partner for organizations seeking to modernise at pace while maintaining the high standards demanded by viewers and advertisers alike.

At NAB Show, LiveU will showcase its broadest IP-video EcoSystem to date, designed to help broadcasters and content creators embrace digital first operations, dramatically simplify live production workflows through AI-enabled automation, and ensure resilient IP contribution in even the most demanding environments. LiveU’s newest solutions on display will include the LU900Q intelligent production unit, defining a new era for live broadcasting with native LiveU IQ (LIQ) connectivity. Also featured are LiveU Nexus, a universal gateway for digital and IP workflows, and LiveU Schedule, a centralised scheduling and resource automation tool.
NAB Show is the perfect stage to illustrate how the company’s modular building blocks work together to create story-centric workflows, reduce complexity and deliver more value from live video. Across news, sports, and live events, LiveU will demonstrate how cloud-native architectures and intelligent automation enable broadcasters to do far more with fewer resources, lower operating costs, and replace costly legacy infrastructure – while consistently delivering broadcast-grade quality at scale.
Actus Digital, a LiveU company, and a leader in quality assurance monitoring and compliance logging, will be prominently featured on the booth, unveiling the latest advancements in Actus X, its intelligent monitoring platform that extends far beyond traditional regulatory compliance. New capabilities include native support for ATSC 3.0 monitoring with A3SA encryption; a browser-based multiviewer delivering sub-second latency and new interactive controls that let operators sync and replay multiple feeds simultaneously; and automatic alert reporting, providing greater visibility while significantly reducing manual effort.
“The broadcast industry is undergoing a fundamental shift as organisations adapt to digital-first realities and the pressure to increase live content production for more platforms, faster than ever,” said Gideon Gilboa, LiveU’s chief product officer and general manager (Americas). “At NAB, LiveU is demonstrating how our unified, modular EcoSystem – anchored by the breakthrough LU900Q and reinforced by powerful automation – allows broadcasters to modernise at their own pace, while making production and the generation of new content easier and faster.”
At the heart of LiveU’s NAB Show presentation is the LU900Q, representing a new era in intelligent field units**.** Powered by native LiveU IQ (LIQ™), advanced eSIM technology, optimised 5G modems, and a MIMO antenna array, LU900Q delivers exceptional reliability and future-ready live transmission from virtually any location. As a smart multi-tool, it combines unprecedented richness and flexibility in one compact platform, with advanced capabilities such as 4:2:2 encoding and dual-camera support enabling high-quality production across a wide range of news and sports use cases, from field reporting and live events to drones and emerging workflows.
