NOTE

Figure 4: LU200 Inside Its Pouch

The LU200 provides two internal cellular modems, as well as a WiFi and a GPS
interface, both of which have internal integrated antennas. In addition, two
external cellular modems can be connected via USB for a total of six interfaces
on the unit.

After the LU200 powers up, it dials (connects) its modems to various networks
(including WiFi) and combines their bandwidth into a single consolidated
broadband uplink connection. The LU200 can then encode incoming video into
an H.264 stream and transmit it over the aggregated bandwidth.
NOTE Xtender interfaces are supported for LAN interfaces only.

10
Introducing the LU200

At the receiving end, the LiveU LU2000 receives these various streams of
video via a standard Internet connection. The LU2000 server runs multiple
Multi-Media Hub (MMH) instances. Each LU2000 recombines the streams
received from a specific LU200 into a discrete broadcast-quality video stream
that can be played out over an integrated SDI interface on the LU2000.

NOTE Most popular SDI output resolutions are supported.

The LU2000 is normally installed at a studio, broadcasting center or in a cloud


server for online media.

Step 3, Selecting a Channel


Video is streamed from the LU200 system via the Internet to the selected MMH
instance (channel) using one or more networks (cellular modems, WiFi, LAN
and so on, which are also called interfaces).

The LU200 can stream to either:


• LU2000: An output LU2000 output channel (as described on page 21). The
LU2000 is typically located in the field and connected to the system via the
internet cloud.
– OR –
• Virtual Group Channel: For previewing in the LiveU Central video matrix
(as described on page 23).

21
LiveU LU200 User Guide

Each LU200 uses a single channel for streaming over its interfaces to a specific
LU2000. The LU2000 can service multiple channels (each channel is an
LU2000 instance). The number of channels that it supports is dependent on
the processing power of the machine on which the LU2000 is running.

In order to connect to an LU2000 channel, you must select the channel to


which the LU200 will broadcast, as described below. This is a mandatory step
the first time that you use the LU200. Afterwards, the LU200 uses the same
channel unless you use the Channels option to change the channel.

► To select a channel:
1 Navigate to Channels option in the Main screen using the Up and Down
buttons on the joystick.

2 Press the Right or Center (OK) buttons on the joystick. The Channels
screen displays, as shown below:

Figure 19: Channels Screen

3 Use the Up and Down buttons on the joystick to navigate to the preferred
channel, and then press the Center (OK) button on the joystick to select
it.

The selected channel is indicated by a checkmark.


NOTES To cancel a selection, press the Left button on the joystick.
If a channel name is longer than the screen allows, two dots
are displayed at the end of the channel name.
After a few seconds the selected channel name starts to scroll so
that you can see the rest of the name.

22
Getting Started

Virtual Groups
The LU200 can stream to an output LU2000, as described on page 21, or to a
Virtual Group. Streaming to a Virtual Group enables LiveU Central operators to
preview the channel and then to control the destination to which the stream is
ultimately directed and sent live. A LiveU Central operator can decide to
stream to a physical SDI port on the LU2000 server or to a Content Delivery
Network (CDN).

When you select a Virtual Group, the video is initially streamed as a preview
(virtual) channel to LiveU Central. In Preview mode, the video is transmitted
as a light stream (at a low bandwidth and with a low resolution and frame
rate).

After a LiveU Central operator allocates a Virtual Channel in Preview mode to a


destination, it is streamed at the defined resolution and frame rate. For more
details about handling preview channels, see the LiveU Central User Guide.

Virtual Groups are indicated in the Channels screen by the icon before the
channel name.

23
LiveU LU200 User Guide

Step 4, Selecting a Profile


The LU200 provides two profiles according to which the LU200 transmits:

• Live : When selecting this profile, the LU200 automatically


starts streaming when it goes live (as described in the Step 7, Going Live
section on page 34). This is the default profile. Video is streamed according
to the delay that is specified in the Main screen. For more details about
setting the delay, see the Step 5, Setting the Delay section on page 26.

• Store&Forward : When selecting this profile, the LU200


stores the video on the micro SD card, while simultaneously uploading the
stored video at the highest quality.

This profile can only be selected when the LU200 has a micro SD card
inserted in it.

Micro SD Card Slot

Figure 20: LU200 Micro SD Card Slot


NOTE
The micro SD card must be at least a 4GB, Class 10 SD card
from an established manufacturer. The LU200 supports a micro
SD card of up to 32 GB.

The Store&Forward profile is typically used when you are located in an


area with limited bandwidth. It enables you to store the video on the
LU200 unit and to transmit it. When this option is selected, the Delay
option is not active and displays N/A for the delay value.

4 Interrupted Feedback
(IFB)
This chapter describes the LU200’s IFB Interrupted Feedback (IFB) feature and
how to set it up.

IFB Overview
The IFB feature provides a unidirectional audio channel from the LU2000 to
LU200 unit operators in the field. This enables the personnel in the master
control room (MCR) to broadcast verbal instructions or information about
events to LU200 operators.

During broadcasting, LU200 operators can listen to an audio-only channel


received from the IFB server using an earphone/headphone. IFB uses a
unidirectional audio channel from the LU2000 to the LU200 unit, which only
allows the LU200 operator to listen, but not respond.

For more details about the IFB feature on the LU2000, see Appendix A,
Interrupted Feedback (IFB) in the LiveU LU2000 Server User Guide.

49
LiveU LU200 User Guide

IFB Setup

DataBridge Operation

DataBridge Operation
This chapter describes LiveU’s DataBridge solution and how to operate the
LU200 unit as a DataBridge.

This chapter contains the following sections:


• LiveU DataBridge Solution, page 51
• DataBridge Mode, page 53

LiveU DataBridge Solution


LiveU’s DataBridge solution enables point-to-multipoint transmission and
reception of any kind of high-quality data from diverse locations, while
adapting to dynamic network conditions. The DataBridge feature can be used
for a variety of data connectivity solutions, such as for connecting a laptop in
the field to a control station.

The DataBridge solution is a client/server solution where an LU, such as the


Xtender, LU200, LU400, LU40 or LU500, that is configured to operate as a
DataBridge unit, is the client and the DataBridge Gateway is the server.

LiveU LU200 User Guide

After the DataBridge unit powers up, it dials (connects) its modems to various
networks and combines their bandwidth into a single consolidated broadband
uplink and downlink connection:
• Transmitting Data: The DataBridge unit receives data from the user data
equipment through its user port and transmits it over the aggregated
bandwidth.
• Receiving Data: The DataBridge device receives incoming data through
its aggregated bandwidth, and outputs it through its user port to the user
data equipment.

DataBridge Gateway
The DataBridge Gateway server is located in the cloud, and receives various
streams of data from the DataBridge unit through its network port, which is
connected to standard Internet. The DataBridge Gateway server runs multiple
remote connection instances. Each remote connection instance recombines the
streams received from a specific DataBridge unit into a discrete high-quality
data stream.

DataBridge Unit
Each DataBridge unit streams to a specific remote connection instance on the
DataBridge Gateway. The DataBridge Gateway can service up to 100
DataBridge units simultaneously.

The DataBridge unit:


• Employs proprietary algorithms to simultaneously break down and transmit
data over multiple modems and to bond the data received over its multiple
modems.
• Performs Layer 2 bridging by learning Layer 2 source addresses and
forwarding according to Layer 2 destination MAC addresses.

An LU200 working as a DataBridge unit operates in DataBridge mode. For


more details, see the DataBridge Mode section on page 53.

52
DataBridge Operation

DataBridge Mode
The LU200 unit must be switched from Video mode to DataBridge mode in

Safety and Maintenance

Potential Hazards
The LU Live Video Uplink unit contains cellular devices that should be operated
according to the same rules and limitations as expected from normal cellular
devices. Do not operate the LU Client Enclosure in an environment that may
be susceptible to radio interference resulting in danger, specifically:
• Areas where prohibited by the law.
Follow any special rules and regulations and obey all signs and notices.
Always ensure that the enclosure is turned off (the power switch is not lit)
when instructed to do so, or whenever it may cause interference or
danger.
• Where explosive atmospheres may be present.
Do not operate the LU enclosure in any area where a potentially explosive
atmosphere may exist. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or
fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Be aware and comply with all
signs and instructions.
• It is not advisable to operate the LU Live Video Uplink while at a refueling
point or service station.
Users are reminded to observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment
in fuel depots (fuel storage and distribution areas), chemical plants or
where blasting operations are in progress.
• Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always,
clearly marked.
Potential locations can include gas stations, below deck on boats, chemical
transfer or storage facilities, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such
as propane or butane), areas where the air contains chemicals or particles,
such as grain, dust or metal powders, and any other area where it would
normally be advisable to turn off a vehicle’s engine.
• Near medical and life support equipment.
Do not operate the LU Enclosure in any area where medical equipment, life
support equipment or near any equipment that may be susceptible to any
form of radio interference. In such areas, the host communications device
must be turned off. The LU Enclosure may transmit signals that could
interfere with this equipment.

• On an aircraft, either on the ground or airborne.


In addition to FAA requirements, many airline regulations state that
wireless operations must be suspended before boarding an airplane. Please
ensure that the LU Enclosure is turned off prior to boarding aircraft in order
to comply with these regulations. The enclosure can transmit signals that
could interfere with various onboard systems and controls.
• While operating a vehicle.
The driver or operator of any vehicle should not operate a wireless data
device while in control of a vehicle. Doing so detracts the driver or
operator's control and operation of that vehicle. In some countries,
operating such communications devices while in control of a vehicle is an
offense.
