Case Study: The Ocean Cleanup achieves global live REMI broadcast success with LiveU LU800

Ocean Cleanup Leverages LiveU LU800 to Power REMI Production from Pacific Ocean to Netherlands

The Ocean Cleanup, a nonprofit organization, faced the challenge of producing a live remote (REMI) broadcast from multiple locations, including a vessel in the Pacific Ocean and their headquarters in the Netherlands. Key obstacles included securing reliable connectivity offshore, dealing with interference from a nearby LA airport, and managing cell congestion, all while coordinating a complex international production.

LiveU provided the solution with its LU800 unit, which supported multiple high-resolution, frame-synced video feeds from a single portable device. This robust technology successfully transported the live content from the Pacific Ocean, Dominican Republic, and Jamaica directly to the production team in Rotterdam. The 5.5-hour broadcast, powered by LiveU, was a success and was viewed by a global audience of thousands, effectively marking a major milestone for the organization.
