Brandon Meier, Broadcast Operations
Director, The University of Oklahoma
“At-Home Production allows us to film certain sports
like track and field and away games that may not
typically be covered by broadcasters.
We recently produced a live golf broadcast using
eight LiveU backpacks, traveling with the team
around the 18 holes. Without this technology, it
would be impossible to produce these events from a
cost and infrastructure standpoint.”

broadcast events that they wouldn’t have
otherwise done because it’s cost-prohibitive. For
a mid-size college or high school to do this event,
it’s cost-prohibitive. It allows us to go out and get
jobs to do events that wouldn’t have been
possible.”

The Eagles can capture content and distribute it using LiveU to both Eagles-owned media channels and NBC10 – who simply sends a journalist and utilizes the Eagles live feed.
6 cameras: Five of them used LiveU 500 backpacks at Low 3rd, High Home, High 1st, Centerfield, and Low 1st. A single LiveU 200 connected to a PMW 200 camera for shots of our talent in the booth. We also had a backup unit on-site.
NESN had 10 cellular bonding @home games in 2016 and 13 in 2017. This was both from home and road cities in Florida. In addition, numerous minor league and collegiate games used the LiveU unit as the primary means of transmission for events done with a traditional truck setup.
In general, we’ve analyzed various methods and found that the cellular bonding system results the largest overall savings as it omits the need for other types of connectivity and/or satellite trucks, plus gives greater reliability as we are using multiple cell providers, tower and dozens of air-cards. At the same time, mobile unit providers are coming on board to provide “camera only” truck solutions and/or “camera only” pricing that allows for additional savings or more Spring Training games to be done with this method.
