Hive makes its debut at Live Design International (LDI 2024), December 8-10 in Las Vegas. LDI 2024 will serve as the stage for Hive’s latest innovation, Nucleus, a compact, rack-mountable 1U media player designed to redefine affordability and scalability in live events and fixed installations. Hive will exhibit alongside its exclusive distributor, Show Sage, at booth 2123, where attendees can experience live product demonstrations and explore the innovative Hive ecosystem.
The Nucleus media player combines powerful functionality with a sleek, portable design, featuring a 1U rack-mountable chassis with dual SDM sockets that support all of Hive’s award-winning Beeblade computing modules, including Minima, Osmia and Pluto. These modules deliver advanced capabilities comparable to media servers costing significantly more, making the Nucleus an affordable yet high-performance choice for demanding applications.
Built with a machined aluminium chassis, the Nucleus is engineered to withstand the rigors of touring while maintaining the portability and reliability required for both live events and fixed installations. Proven in high-profile projects – including live music tours and festivals such as Rita Ora, TEMS and Electric Picnic – the Nucleus demonstrates its reliability and versatility in both creative and technical environments.
Designed for portability and flexibility, it integrates seamlessly with control room setups while maintaining ease of use for live event scenarios. Available immediately, the Nucleus bridges the gap between Hive’s compact Beeblade modules and the larger Beehive system, offering a scalable and adaptable solution for AV professionals.
Hive’s founders Dave Green, Trey Harrison and Mark Calvert will join Sales Director Nigel Sadler and Business Development Consultant Sarah Cox at LDI on booth 2123 to engage with attendees, provide live demonstrations and answer questions about the Nucleus and Hive’s ecosystem.
Hive will exhibit in partnership with Show Sage, a specialist in media-server and control solutions and Hive’s exclusive distributor for the USA and Canada. Show Sage’s expertise and well-established network play a pivotal role in introducing Hive’s technology to local customers and ensuring seamless customer support.
Hive Co-Founder Mark Calvert said: “We are thrilled to debut at LDI and launch Nucleus, which represents a significant leap forward in accessible media playback technology,” said Mark Calvert, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Hive. “Our partnership with Show Sage enables us to connect with customers across the U.S. and Canada, and we’re excited to showcase our solutions through live demos and training at this leading industry event.”
