Introducing the LU200
This chapter introduces the LU200 unit and describes its hardware
components.
Overview
The LU200 is a compact, lightweight unit that enables you to transmit
high-quality HD/SD video from diverse locations, while adapting to dynamic
network conditions. The LU200 supports two 4G (LTE)/3G cellular links, a WiFi
link and a LAN link. It can be seamlessly connected to most commercially
available cameras and comes with an easy-to-use interface.

NOTE
The LU200 is provided with a pouch.
Figure 4: LU200 Inside Its Pouch
The LU200 provides two internal cellular modems, as well as a WiFi and a GPS
interface, both of which have internal integrated antennas. In addition, two
external cellular modems can be connected via USB for a total of six interfaces
on the unit.
After the LU200 powers up, it dials (connects) its modems to various networks
(including WiFi) and combines their bandwidth into a single consolidated
broadband uplink connection. The LU200 can then encode incoming video into
an H.264 stream and transmit it over the aggregated bandwidth.
NOTE
Xtender interfaces are supported for LAN interfaces only.

At the receiving end, the LiveU LU2000 receives these various streams of
video via a standard Internet connection. The LU2000 server runs multiple
Multi-Media Hub (MMH) instances. Each LU2000 recombines the streams
received from a specific LU200 into a discrete broadcast-quality video stream
that can be played out over an integrated SDI interface on the LU2000.
NOTE
Most popular SDI output resolutions are supported.
The LU2000 is normally installed at a studio, broadcasting center or in a cloud
server for online media.

LiveU Central
LiveU Central is a web interface that enables you to access any LU unit you
have, including the LU200. LiveU Central enables you to view an LU200’s
status and to remotely configure an LU200 and an MMH instance (running on
the LU2000 server). LiveU Central only runs in the Google Chrome, Internet
Explorer or Firefox website browser.
Each LiveU Central user is assigned permission to manage and control a
specific group of LU units.
Figure 7: LiveU Central
When LiveU Central takes control of an LU200, the message Unit is under
Remote Control is displayed on the LU200 unit’s screen. The unit remains
under remote control until it is released by the LiveU Central user.
Figure 8: LU200 Remote Control Screen

LiveU LU200 User Guide

This screen provides the LU200 user with an indication that the LU200 is/was
controlled remotely (and possibly that its configuration was changed). The
LU200 user can press the Center (OK) button at any time to remove this
message without affecting the remote control.
Once LiveU Central releases control of the LU200, the remote control window
continues to remain displayed until you press the Center (OK) button.
NOTE
An LU200 user cannot stop the LU200 from being remotely controlled.
You may refer to the LiveU Central User Guide for more information.

Step 1, Connecting the Video Camera
The procedure for connecting a video camera to the LU200 is simple.
The camera can be connected either before or after turning on the LU200. If
you power on the LU200 before connecting the camera, then the message No
Camera is displayed. You can then connect the camera, as described below.
Only one camera can be connected directly to the LU200 at any time.
►To connect the camera:
1Cables are provided for each type of camera. Connect one end of the
appropriate camera’s cable to the relevant port on the video camera (SDI
or HDMI).
2Connect the other end of the cable to the appropriate port (SDI or HDMI)
on the LU200 unit, according to the type of camera, as follows:
SDI
HDMI

Charging the LU200
We recommend charging the battery for at least 4 hours before using the
LU200.
►To charge the battery:
•Plug the AC Power Adapter into the DC IN connector on the LU200.
It is good practice to keep the unit plugged into a power outlet when it is
not in use in order to keep it charged and ready for operation.
While charging, the LED near the DC IN connector is red. When the battery
is fully charged, the LED turns green.
The battery charges even when the unit is turned off.
