LiveU Broadens Access to RNE Spain’s Live IP-Video Productions

LiveU’s seamless cloud production capabilities and Datos Media Technologies’ integration knowhow have provided RNE with a next-generation live video production solution

To maximize cloud production capabilities for its popular live radio programs, Spain’s public service radio broadcaster Radio Nacional de España (RNE) has turned to LiveU’s efficient and agile IP-video solutions combined with its local partner’s, Datos Media Technologies’, integration expertise. Thanks to LiveU’s LU-Smart mobile app integrated with its LiveU Studio cloud production service, RNE has a next-generation streamlined solution that allows it to better connect with its audience.

LU-Smart leverages existing networks (4G/5G, WiFi, and LAN) to provide reliable, stable, and high-quality coverage, enabling live content production from virtually any location via a smartphone. These signals are sent to LiveU Studio, which facilitates live content production in the cloud, allowing for channel management and mixing (up to 12 sources), graphic editing, switching, and video signal distribution from anywhere, without the need for complex physical infrastructure.

On top of this, LU-Smart and LiveU Studio enhance RNE’s capacity to cover live events with minimal equipment and reduced costs. To add even more value, LiveU Studio enables the integration of additional LiveU portable field units to contribute and integrate distributed live feeds for broadcast across any RTVE platform.

According to Jose Luis García Hernán-Pérez, Deputy Director of Technical Media at RNE, “LiveU technology has meant a significant improvement, as it facilitates the incorporation of more video content into radio programming. This responds to the growing demand from RNE’s audience, who seek a richer and more dynamic multimedia experience.”

The collaboration between LiveU and Datos Media streamlines the technical operations and strengthens RNE’s ability to deliver dynamic, high-quality content – meeting audience demands for immediacy and accessibility.

“Our partnership with LiveU brings quality and innovative solutions to our catalog for this and future joint projects,“ adds Tomas Nielsen, CEO of Datos Media Technologies. “With LiveU technology, RNE gains the ability to produce live cloud-based events with minimal equipment while maintaining top-tier quality and seamless integration with the rest of RTVE.”

Laura Llames, Country Manager South Europe, LiveU, summed up, ¨We’re delighted to continue growing with RTVE. Beyond our daily work with TVE, it’s a privilege to support the RNE team, bringing the radio also to the screen.“
