Hackensack, N.J.–Hitachi and LiveU are incorporating LiveU’s LU40 compact video uplink device into Hitachi cameras, enabling camera operators to view and manage LiveU’s transmission status and video quality in real-time.

All currently manufactured models of Hitachi HDTV cameras can be used with the LiveU LU40 as a peripheral unit mounted to the rear of the camera.

The device includes LiveU’s proprietary internal antenna for connectivity and new live newsgathering features such as: Low latency for interview-mode; store & forward; file transfer protocol; video and audio indicators; and a boot time of less than a minute.
