Let me ask you a question. Do you have a must have or favorite piece of gear when you get out the door to a sports production? You and I already know that answer don’t we? It is a resounding YES of course. Production is hard enough, so when we can get that gear either as a purchase or rental we know and love (most of the time) it makes the day go easier. So whether you are one hand held or in a big truck here are some of my favorites that you might just see on my shoots and a lot of others.
When I was first approached about reviewing the new LiveU Solo I admit, I was skeptical.
I have seen LiveU units used throughout the industry for several years. On election day 2016, I spent most of the day at WSB-TV in Atlanta and they were using LiveU units all over the state. Literally, they were covering a major trial in the southern part of the state and used another unit in the north to cover the election. I was impressed but thought “that’s something, we will never be able to do.” Boy was I wrong.
This week’s Broadfield Live Webinar is on the LiveU Solo HDMI Premium Video Encoder. This powerful device allows users to stream their show from anywhere anytime without the assistance of a local internet source.
Today we are going live out in the field introducing the LiveU Solo HDMI. Today’s Webinar will be at 2pm eastern time.

Delivering content in the highest quality is paramount for broadcasters and content creators alike.
That’s where LRT comes in.
Live streaming on-the-go can pose many challenges. Getting the right equipment that works to stream consistently and in the highest quality is key in pursuing this endeavor.
A few weeks ago I was given the LiveU “Solo” live streaming device to test and review. They told me the $995 device was easy to use, reliable, and high quality, so that’s what I set out to test.
