LiveU Is Redefining Live Production At NAB Show 2026

LiveU spotlights three broadcast priorities at NAB Show 2026: Digital-First, Workflow Automation, IP Contribution Resilience.

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 centralized 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.

IP Contribution Resilience
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, optimized 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.

Digital-First Strategies
Designed for fast-growing digital-first environments, LiveU Nexus simplifies modern broadcast ingest and distribution by converting, normalizing and routing IP feeds across protocols such as LRT, SRT and RTMP. LiveU Nexus bridges social, online and remote sources with traditional broadcast operations, enabling broadcasters to easily serve linear, digital and social platforms from a unified IP workflow.

Complementing field acquisition and ingest, LiveU Studio will be showcased with expanded cloud-based IP live production capabilities, including the ability to deliver multiple feeds in various formats from the same production. With a browser-based, broadcast-grade video switcher, support for synchronized multi-camera production, ISO recording and instant replay, LiveU Studio enables remote and distributed teams to produce professional live content with maximum flexibility.

Workflow Automation
LiveU will emphasize how workflow automation is becoming essential as broadcasters face increasing production demands with leaner teams. For example, a live production that previously required separate planning, transmission, ingest and metadata workflows across several platforms can now be managed centrally – from scheduling to execution – significantly reducing operational overhead.

LiveU Schedule plays a key role in this transformation, replacing spreadsheets and fragmented tools with a centralized SaaS platform for intelligent scheduling, resource management, and automated execution. Built for fast-paced news and complex live events, LiveU Schedule helps broadcasters streamline planning and ensure consistent, repeatable workflows.

Technical collaborations
Other highlights include LiveU’s collaboration with key technology partners and expanded connectivity possibilities, such as private 5G, further strengthening resiliency and flexibility for live production in challenging conditions.
