Companies' combined capabilities encompass production,
delivery, storage and distribution of broadcast-quality
video
MINNEAPOLIS and HACKENSACK, N.J., March 29,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Qumu Corporation (Nasdaq: QUMU),
a leading provider of cloud-based enterprise video technology, and
LiveU, a leader in live video streaming and remote production
solutions, today announced a reseller agreement that will better
enable their respective enterprise customers to produce, deliver,
store and distribute broadcast-quality video, including live video
from corporate events. Under the terms of the agreement, Qumu will
become an authorized reseller of the full LiveU portfolio, with a
particular emphasis on LiveU's higher end offerings for enterprise
applications, facilitating new video-based business
opportunities.
The agreement expands Qumu's ability to support enterprise
customers wanting to produce and stream live events reliably and
securely over the public internet. LiveU customers who engage Qumu
will gain access to the storage, content management, distribution
and analytics capabilities of Qumu's Video Engagement platform.
"Remote work has driven a dramatic increase in demand from our
corporate customers for the ability to stream live,
broadcast-quality video to geographically dispersed employees,
customers, dealers and other business partners," said Rose Bentley, Chief Operating Officer, Qumu.
"LiveU excels at delivering live HD/4K video, anytime, anywhere, over the public
internet on ultra-low latency contribution encoders. We have
already successfully collaborated with LiveU on high stakes live
events for a major automaker and one of the country's largest
healthcare companies and look forward to deepening this already
productive partnership."
LiveU pioneered IP bonding, a mobile and affordable technology
that allows video to be live streamed from anywhere with a cellular
signal or internet connection, enabling live transmission for
newsgathering, remote production, and enhanced business
communications. LiveU Reliable Transport (LRT™), developed by LiveU
over the past decade, is used extensively for contribution,
backhaul and distribution over the public internet and is now
optimized for 5G networks, as well.
"LiveU has built mission-critical live video solutions for the
top-tier news and sports markets, and now we're bringing this
technology to the enterprise space," said Mike Savello, VP of Sales, LiveU Americas. "As
we've seen during the pandemic, it is vital for enterprise
customers to uphold business continuity. Live video affords
opportunities to communicate internally/externally, promote the
brand, conduct QA, and engage with employees in real-time – from
any location. We continue to enhance the LiveU platform with new
capabilities to make it fit the needs of the corporate environment
and look forward to ongoing collaborations with Qumu."
LiveU recently added Air Control, a "virtual green room"
solution that meets the growing needs of corporate customers who
need to orchestrate live events involving multiple on-air
presenters in multiple locations using different devices. "Air
Control can help our enterprise customers use their existing teams
and technical infrastructure to produce flawless live events,"
Bentley said.
LiveU can also equip corporate communications, marketing
communications, and in-house video production teams with the
technology to remotely control mobile, one-touch production
resources to streamline quick turn live broadcasts from a C-suite
office, for example. "With our equipment in a Remote Production
workflow, there is no need for a full on-site production crew,"
said George Klippel, LiveU's
Director of Channel Sales, North
America. "Simply, send a camera person with a LiveU unit to
the office, assembly line or other corporate environment, turn on
the LiveU unit and transmit live content back to the production
studio or control room in another location. We make it easy and
affordable to develop internal and external content for corporate
entities."
"We are thrilled to welcome Qumu as a LiveU reseller," Klippel
added. "The combination of Qumu's engagement and analytics tools
with our capabilities to deliver broadcast-quality video securely,
reliably, and cost-effectively is a compelling package for any
organization that needs to deliver a high impact message at
scale."
