In conversation with Yaal Eshel, vice president – Sales, at LiveU.
2018 HIGHLIGHTS Eshel: 2018 has been a milestone year for LiveU. Our flagship mobile video streaming unit, the LU600 HEVC solution, took live sports and news coverage to a new level altogether. Some of the interesting sports events covered with LiveU technology included:
• The FIFA World Cup™ in Russia – where a large deployment of 485 LiveU units were used for live coverage from the 11 host cities.
• Absa Cape Epic in South Africa’s Western Cape – the world’s most televised mountain bike race, covering 658 km over eight days was broadcast live from a helicopter, motorbike and electric bikes.
• Formula racing – teaming up with Griiip, manufacturer of the G1 – a new tech packed, entry-level Formula race car. The G1 series races in Italy were streamed live with on-board units to increase audience engagement.
