Packaging & streaming

Supports live feeds, file-based assets, internal or external automation, and storage integration with SFTP, NFS, AWS S3, Google GCS and Azure Blob.

Capabilities

Any-to-any media processing, simplified

VOD SDI ASI/SDI ASI RF RF S Content IP IP SRT SRT

Future-proof

Containerized, microservices-based architecture that can run on COTS, private cloud, or hybrid deployments.

Continuous software releases add new codecs, standards, and features without hardware swaps.

Secure scaling

Optimized for modern Intel and AMD CPUs to deliver high channel density at low watts per channel.

Scales horizontally by adding nodes and vertically by increasing cores, with software controls to protect QoE under load.

Deployment & resilience

Available as a 1RU COTS appliance or Linux RPM software, with optional I/O cards, RAID storage, dual PSU and redundancy models from 1+1 to N+M.
