PASIFIKA TV LINKS 24 BROADCASTERS 24/7 WITH LIVEU LiveU
CREATE & PRODUCE BY DAVID FOX
Pasifi ka TV is expanding its deployment of LiveU’s live streaming systems to bring 24/7 breaking news and live sports coverage to 24 broadcasters in New Zealand and across the Pacifi c Islands, reaching millions of viewers. LiveU’s IP bonding equipment and service are being provided by LiveU’s local partner, Pacifi c Live Media.
Originally set up as a pilot, the PacHub project based on LiveU’s live production workfl ow is now being expanded to eight islands in the region using a combination of LU300 portable units, LU300e fi xed encoders and servers. The remote production is managed out of Auckland, New Zealand, where the production team monitors and curates live and non-live
content, adds graphics and handles post-production. During the lockdown, LiveU’s systems have enabled Pasifi ka TV to maintain communications and become a critical source of live content to and from the islands. In Samoa, for example, on the day after an historic election, the local broadcaster was able to provide live interviews with a political commentator into New Zealand Pacifi c current affairs show Tagata Pasifi ka when travel to the island for other journalists was impossible. LiveU technology has also been used to stream live sports coverage, such as rugby league, handball, volleyball and the Cook Island Games, the fi rst major sports event in the island since the beginning of the pandemic. Natasha Meleisea, CEO,
Pasifi ka TV, said: “Connectivity is key; with mobility a challenge, the immediacy of creating live content has never been easy in this region. LiveU’s mobile

The compact LiveU LU300 live streaming units proved valuable to Pasifi ka TV
solution enables high-quality live content to be transmitted to a far wider audience than before, more cost-effectively than if we used other methods. From one-way traffi c – sharing content from New Zealand to the Pacifi c Islands – LiveU is now enabling
a two-way dialogue with live content also being transmitted from the islands back to New Zealand. All the NZ broadcasters are keen to use our service once the expansion is complete. The next stage will be sharing content island to island, allowing Pacifi c
broadcasters to connect and learn from each other what’s happening in the region.” As tourism and international sports events revive after the pandemic, Meleisea sees many opportunities for live events, most notably the 2023 Pacifi c Games.
