iveU has announced broadcasters used its AI- driven LIQ connectivity LiveU announces LIQ L system at scale during the recent Winter Olympic Games, as media organisations increasingly shift towards internet-based production. The company said about 60% of supported transmissions at the multi-venue event used its LiveU IQ (LIQ) technology, which analyses network conditions in real time to manage connections. According to LiveU, the system delivered average bit rates more than 36% higher than typical bonded IP set-ups, helping
broadcasters maintain 4K and HDR video feeds. More than 980 LiveU units were deployed by broadcasters from 37 countries, generating over 15,000 hours of live coverage across nearly 12,000 sessions. The implementation highlights the growing use of IP networks for large-scale sports production, particularly in complex environments such as remote mountain venues and crowded arenas. ORF, Austria’s national public broadcaster, used 23 LU800 units to support 17 camera crews across northern Italy.
