STREAMING STREAMLINED
Broadpeak has launched an SaaS platform dubbed broadpeak.io. It offers content providers, pay-TV operators and OTT service providers an answer to delivering advanced streaming to their subscribers. The brand has specialised in CDN and video delivery solutions for over ten years. Broadpeak.io is an alternative to bulk streaming methods in the form of an API platform. “This takes Broadpeak’s trusted framework and makes it available as a service in the cloud, resulting in unparalleled simplicity and scalability,” said vice president of cloud platform Mathias Guille. It will evolve to host several applications related to advanced video streaming – the first of these an app to support contextualised streaming needs, with a blackout service.
BRIDGE THE AUDIO GAP
Bridge Technologies added audio capabilities to its VB440 technology. This is designed for the monitoring and analysis of ST 2110 and ST 2022-6 high-bit-rate broadcast media traffic. Deployable in a variety of environments such as broadcasting networks, production studios, master control centres, OB trucks and venues, the VB440 can also manage both uncompressed and compressed data, including JPEG XS and HDR signals.
The latest additions of new audio functionalities allow engineers to work with immersive audio standards at any location, simply by using an HTML5-based browser. Updates include a goniometer, loudness radar, and the ability to measure multichannel audio across 64 channels within one flow. This is on top of the surround and immersive audio standards which are now accessible to engineers. are vendor-neutral, without need for specific drivers to be written – or for manual configuration. CEO of Open Broadcast Systems Kieran Kunhya stated: “It can be hard to incorporate high-density encode and decode into uncompressed IP facilities, and so NMOS IS-04/05 allows for broadcasters to control easily, without the need to go back to legacy SDI workflows – as many have done.”
STAYING ZEN
SPECS UNLOCKED
Zixi announced the integration of AWS Cloud Digital Interface (CDI) and AWS Elemental Link. New capabilities have been added to Zixi’s Zen Master live video orchestration and telemetry control plane, which makes it easy to manage inputs and outputs for hundreds of live video and Zixi streams at scale. “Zen Master reduces complexity with a set of virtual tools to configure, orchestrate and monitor delivery of live video at channel and device level – or across an entire content creation and distribution enterprise,” said director of engineering at AWS Elemental Greg Truax. “With Zen Master SaaS running on AWS, it was natural to extend collaboration with Zixi.” Available directly from Zixi, and through the AWS Marketplace, incremental flows further the interoperability of both software and hardware vendors in their production environment, at high bandwidth with low end-to-end latency.
Open Broadcast Systems’ C-200 encoders and decoders now have support for NMOS (Networked Media Open Specifications) – and work with both IS-04 and IS-05. NMOS operates as a family of open, free-of-charge specifications that allow for interoperability between media devices on particular infrastructure. The addition of NMOS means that routing of uncompressed IP flows into the C-200
