Overview

Overview

LiveTouch (SQ2000 Server) is the next generation server platform in the sQ/LiveTouch 
family which will initially target high performance replay workflows. LiveTouch (sQ2000) is 
an ultra-high density video server which will include a market leading feature set in instant 
replay and high performance video server applications. 

Each LiveTouch (SQ2000) Server is factory configured as a HD (high definition) or UHD 
(ultra-high definition) networked distribution server employing industry standard 
compression systems. Features include:

• The highest port density of any replay server on the market

• 12  ports/server  in  UHD

• 24 ports/server in HD & 3G

• Dual redundant 100G - 2110 IP Interfaces per I/O card (200G total).  The most powerful 

IP architecture on the market enabling unique I/O configurations and headroom to 
expand even further in the future 

• Clipnet media network interfaces for inter-server streaming and media sharing 

workflows

• Access any angle, anywhere instantaneously with instant system wide access to any 

angle on the network with Clipnet

• Up to internal 64TB SSD storage to better accommodate the ultra-high port count.  The 

most internal storage available on any replay server in the market today.

• Instant, integrated craft editing available at every operator workstation using Frame 

Magic technology.  Instantly load any replay clip or playlist into a fully featured craft 
edit timeline.

• Unique powerful, flexible processing in mixed format workflows.  Dynamically mix 

UHD, 3G and HD content on the same playout port.  LiveTouch also provides the 
capability to convert between SDR and HDR on the fly to handle multiple broadcast 
deliverables simultaneously.  LiveTouch even allows cross mapping between different 
types of HDR.

Clipnet Media Network

The LiveTouch (SQ2000) Clipnet provides a centralized ingest model for operators, allowing 
unrestricted access to content anywhere on the system.  Access any angle, anywhere 
instantly with LiveTouch. Clipnet connections allows replay operators to stream remote 
cameras from any server instantaneously.  This removes any delays or complexity when 
spreading complex workflows across multiple servers. 

Advanced Super Motion Support

LiveTouch (SQ2000) supports a wide range of super motion cameras to support your live 
sports production.  Get ultra-smooth playback from 2x to 10x super motion in HD and 3x 
super motion in UHD.  Super motion inputs are easy to configure via the SQ2000 web page 
saving valuable time before live productions.
