The new LiveU TX1 unit delivers fast file transfer and reliable bonded connectivity for Sony’s professional video cameras

LiveU, the leader in video-over-bonded-IP transmission, today announced a partnership with Sony Corporation, a world leader in professional camera technology. Through this collaboration, LiveU aims to maximize the credibility, efficiency, and immediacy of customers’ content by providing tools that enable truly agile news and production workflows.

At IBC2025, Sony introduced the LiveU TX1, a compact field transmission unit designed specifically for Sony’s professional camera range and workflow. LiveU is excited to share further details spotlighting how this collaboration will create new possibilities for customers across the broadcast industry by expanding adoption of the LRT™ (LiveU Resilient Transport) protocol.

The compact LiveU TX1 provides broadcast professionals with easy access to resilient, ultra-fast file transfer from the camera to the unit, with stored files transmitted via LiveU’s patented LRT™ (LiveU Reliable Transport) protocol. It uses multiple bonded connections for superior video performance and reliability. TX1 was developed by LiveU under the collaborative partnership to provide seamless integration into Sony’s ecosystem.

LiveU TX1 redefines creative freedom for Sony camera users

LiveU TX1 is a mobile file-transfer and transmission unit designed specifically to deliver fast file transfer and reliable bonded connectivity for Sony’s professional cameras, including the newly launched Sony’s PXW-Z300. With its small form factor, LiveU TX1 is easily mounted on Sony’s camera, shortening production workflows. This development marks the initial milestone in a partnership between Sony and LiveU, featuring LiveU’s first fully native, dedicated integration gateway.

"Our customers want to be able to deliver files shot on camcorders from wherever the story takes them, back to their galleries, easily, swiftly and reliably," said Masakazu Murata, Head of Media Solutions Business, Sony Corporation. "Through our collaboration with LiveU, the leading company in video-over-bonded-IP transmission, we are now able to offer customers a workflow integrated with Sony’s ecosystem even for mission-critical operations that require bonding. We look forward to working with LiveU to further streamline workflows and make a significant contribution to the broadcast industry."

I would like to thank the Sony team for their professional and collaborative spirit and wish us all great success on our shared journey."
