Rebranded as Actus Digital, a LiveU Company, the business will operate as an independent sister brand to LiveU.
Actus Digital’s intelligent monitoring, compliance platforms, and AI-enabled tools will complement the LiveU EcoSystem, delivering workflow simplicity and operational efficiency.

“We see Actus Digital’s products as extremely valuable, both as standalone solutions and, as many customers have already requested, as extensions to the LiveU EcoSystem. LiveU is renowned for reliability and quality, right across the production spectrum. Actus Digital brings peerless Quality of Experience monitoring and AI-enhanced effectiveness. Together, this gives us the unique ability to provide our customers with end-to-end surety across all of their content types,” he said.

Combining the LiveU EcoSystem with the Actus Intelligent Monitoring Platform delivers powerful new capabilities to our customers across radio, TV, OTT and the internet.
