Overview The LU800 is a compact, lightweight video uplink unit used to transmit highquality video from diverse locations. The LU800 combines an unparalleled quality of service and resilience based on native 5G support with enhanced broadcast-grade video quality. The LU800 offers HEVC encoding of up to 4Kp60 resolution at 50 Mbps. The unit includes a 64-GB internal storage capacity and an internal battery providing up to four hours of live transmission. The LU800 can support multi-camera transmission from up to four, full-HD cameras from the field to the station. In Multi-HQ mode, the unit can transmit up to four feeds to the server, and send audio over a maximum of four channels per camera. In Field / Station Switcher mode, the unit supports a single HQ video transmission. The transmitting camera can be changed on the fly, either from the unit or remotely, from LiveU Central. Designed from scratch to support high bandwidth 5G technology, the LU800 incorporates modems that utilize LTE and Advanced LTE over 4G and 5G cellular networks. LiveUs Reliable Transport (LRT) technology ensures the transmission of live video over the most unreliable networks. In addition, LiveUs Remote At-Home Production (REMI) enables full IP-based, remote control of cameras in the field. The LU800 is equipped with a seven-inch touch screen, which is used to operate the units intuitive user interface (UI) and to display video. LU800 As the LU800 powers up, it can potentially connect to up to eight internal cellular modems, one Wi-Fi and two Ethernet interfaces to various networks, combining their bandwidth into a single, consolidated, broadband uplink connection. LiveU LU800 User Guide V9.5 1 Introducing the LU800 Incoming video is encoded and transmitted over the aggregated bandwidth. The LiveU LU2000 or LU4000 server, running multiple Multi-Media Hub (MMH) instances, receives the video streams via a standard internet connection. Each instance combines LU800 transmissions into a discrete, broadcast-quality video stream that can be played out over an integrated SDI interface on the MMH server or transmitted from the server to an online destination. The MMH server is typically installed at a studio or broadcasting center. Alternatively, a cloud-server-based MMH instance can be used when SDI output is not required. For multi-camera transmissions, the LU2000 / LU4000 MMH server must support quad server software.

Each connector on the back of the LU800 corresponds to one of the internal cellular modems. This section describes only LU800 models that are configured for external cellular antennas. External antenna connectors As part of the accessories available for the LU800 LiveU offers external cellular antennas
(part number ANT0026) that were tested and found to be highly compatible with the LU800. LiveU LU800 User Guide V9.5 102 Handling the LU800 External Cellular Antenna (ANT00026) These antennae have the following advantages:
Hi-Performance Antennas (-3dBi) Each antenna has 2 internal cellular antennas and can be connected to two different cellular modules on the LU800 When connecting these antennas to the LU800:
We recommend placing the antennas at least 20cm from each other The antenna has a 3-meter cable with an SMA connector that can extended, however we do not recommend extension as this may affect antenna performance. When an external antenna is connected to any internal cellular interface, that interface will no longer use the internal antenna but will instead use the newly connected external antenna. Connecting the unit in a vehicle You can mount the LU800 unit on to a cradle on your vehicle and connect external antennas to the unit. The cradle powers the unit. For information, see the Connecting the LU800 to a Car Cradle user guide. The car cradle is sold separately as an accessory. Connecting an external battery The LU800 is provided with a standard internal battery that provides up to four hours of standalone operation when fully charged. You can recharge the battery by connecting the units power cable to the DC-IN VDC 19 power supply input. It is recommended to keep the unit plugged into a power input when not in use. Doing so ensures that the unit is always charged and ready for operation at a moments notice. LiveU LU800 User Guide V9.5 103 Handling the LU800 For expanded battery life, you can connect an external battery to the unit. The external battery port supports direct connection to any AntonBauer or V-mount batteries without the need for power converters. When an external battery is connected, the unit automatically draws power from it, even if the internal battery is fully charged. If both an external battery and power supply are connected, the unit draws its power from the power supply and not from either of the batteries. To improve the performance of the internal battery for longer periods, the battery is not charged to 100% if a power supply is connected when battery status is 96% or higher. To connect an external battery:
Plug the battery cable into the BAT-IN 10-17 VDC battery input on the LU800. DC-IN connectors Any standard external battery in this voltage range and can provide 3A current can be used. For standard, off-the-shelf batteries, use the cable shown in the following figure. This cable is part of the unit package. Battery cable provided with the LU800 For Anton Bauer / V-mount batteries, use the D-TAP cable shown below. This cable is sold separately. LiveU LU800 User Guide V9.5 104 Handling the LU800 D-TAP cable for Anton Bauer / V-mount batteries Connecting to the LiveU Xtender The LiveU Xtender can be connected to the LU800 either by an Ethernet cable or with a remote wireless kit. The kit is sold separately as an accessory. For more details about the Xtender and connecting the Xtender to the LU800, see the LiveU Xtender User Guide. LU800 backpack The LU800 is provided together with a backpack that allows you to operate the unit from inside the backpack itself. The LCD screen is visible when you lift the large flap in the front of the bag. The flap can be propped open and serves as a sunshade protecting the screen. Unzipping the side flaps allows access to both sides of units physical interface. The bottom compartment is used to store cables and other peripherals. On the underside of the backpack, a zippered pocket contains the backpacks rain cover.

Potential Hazards The LU800 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 unit 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 LU800 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 LU800 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 vehicles engine. Near medical and life support equipment Do not operate the LU800 in any area where medical equipment or life support equipment exist, 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 LU800 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. Ensure that the LU800 is turned off prior to boarding aircraft 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.
