Evrideo Inc., a cloud-native SaaS platform for broadcast operations, has launched what it considers to be “a comprehensive IP video command center designed to solve complex video delivery challenges.”
Available as both a fully managed SaaS offering and a self-hosted licensed deployment, Evrideo Outpost is designed to offer broadcasters a single, unified platform to monitor, route, record, transform, and deliver live video feeds with greater efficiency.
In addition to secure transport and routing, Outpost is designed to transform live streams by converting codecs, frame rates, and other signal characteristics, helping broadcasters adapt content for different destinations and workflows without adding separate processing layers.
“As the broadcast industry accelerates its transition to IP-based workflows, media companies have historically been forced to rely on expensive, proprietary hardware routing systems,” as Evrideo. “By engineering a highly optimized, software-defined routing engine that runs on standard commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) servers, Outpost delivers broadcast-grade reliability and sub100ms failover at a fraction of the cost of legacy hardware.”
For a typical deployment, broadcasters can replace a legacy proprietary routing node with an Outpost configuration. Unlike legacy systems, which often require broadcasters to purchase separate enterprise-grade orchestration software at significant additional cost, Outpost includes a comprehensive, intuitive management interface natively, along with a centralized cloud control layer for the configuration, monitoring, and management of distributed deployments across multiple sites.
“The broadcast industry has been held hostage by the prohibitive costs of proprietary hardware and complex orchestration layers for IP routing,” said Avi Zenou, CEO and Co-Founder of Evrideo. “With Outpost, we have created an intelligent, software-defined routing engine that can take content from any source and deliver it to any destination seamlessly. Outpost not only routes and protects live video, it can also transform streams to meet the codec, frame rate, and format requirements of downstream platforms. And with a centralized cloud control layer, broadcasters can monitor and manage multiple Outpost instances across on-premise and cloud environments through a single operational view.”
