Case Study: European League of Football achieves full cloud production for live matches with LiveU

LiveU enables full cloud production of European League of Football (ELF) matches

The European League of Football, a professional American Football league, partnered with production company novel.media and faced a challenge scaling its live broadcasts. With multiple concurrent games across Europe, on-site production became logistically and financially impossible. They needed a reliable, high-quality, and more efficient broadcast solution, having previously used a LiveU LU600 encoder for on-site feeds.

LiveU implemented its EcoSystem, deploying 12 LU800 field units to transmit multiple camera feeds to cloud servers for remote production. This solution integrated seamlessly with cloud tools like Vizrt for mixing and Spalk for commentary. For LiveU, the result was the ability to cost-effectively produce and share high-quality live feeds with major European broadcasters and a direct-to-consumer digital platform, significantly expanding the league's audience and increasing monetization.
