• HEVC continues to play a key role in live
  transmission, which is pivotal for live sports
  productions. This is due to the higher quality
  video performance and bandwidth efficiency
  enabled by HEVC technology. LiveU reports a 65
  growth in HEVC units deployed worldwide and over
  400 growth in HEVC-based sessions. Nearly 50 of
  the field units used to stream sports are

• The increasing deployment of cellular
  bonding technology for live sport coverage has
  been evident worldwide. Following the FIFA
  Womens World Cup France 2019, Kevin Callahan,
  VP, Field Operations Engineering, Fox Sports
  said, We always get energized if there is a huge
  buzz at home and this World Cup surpassed all our
  expectations with the success of the US Womens
  soccer team. LiveUs LU600 HEVC portable
  transmission unit provided the backbone for our
  ENG shoots that were not at the stadium, enabling
  us to increase the number of live feeds. We also
  sent content to multiple locations simultaneously
  using LiveUs Matrix IP cloud video management
  platform, making the content available to Fox TV
  stations that wanted to integrate live shots into
  their newscasts.

• The State of Live report also shows a
  significant increase in remote at-home
  productions (REMI) from 2018, allowing
  broadcasters and sports organizers to reduce
  costs by producing live shows from a centralized
  studio control room instead of on-site production
  and satellite trucks. LiveUs at-home production
  customers reported savings of over 70 on their
  production costs this year.
