Hitachi and LiveU have announced that they will work together to integrate LiveU's LU40 compact video uplink device into Hitachi's professional video cameras.

The partnership will allow camera operators to view and manage the transmission of video with LiveU's cellular bonding technology.

"The Hitachi collaboration is an important step in LiveU's global strategy to offer live capabilities to professional camera operators and simplifying the workflow in the field," noted Samuel Wasserman, LiveU's CEO in a statement.

The companies noted that all currently manufactured models of Hitachi HDTV cameras can be used with the LiveU LU40 as a peripheral unit mounted to the rear of the camera.
