Broadcast operations company Evrideo has launched Outpost, an IP video command centre designed to solve complex video delivery challenges.
Available as both a fully managed SaaS offering and a self-hosted licensed deployment, Outpost provides broadcasters with a single, unified platform to monitor, route, record, transform, and deliver live video feeds with greater efficiency.
It can also 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.
According to the company, Outpost’s software-defined routing engine, which runs on standard commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) servers, enables it to deliver broadcast-grade reliability and sub-100ms failover at lower cost than traditional hardware.
Other key features include:
- Multi-Protocol Support: Native support for SRT, UDP multicast/unicast, and SDI via hardware cards
- Stream Transformation: Convert codecs, frame rates, and other key stream parameters to meet destination requirements
- TR 101 290 Compliance: Industry-standard stream quality monitoring
- Matrix Monitoring: A visual multiview interface supporting up to 12 streams per preset
- Time-Shift Outputs: Delay live streams by 30 minutes or more without external hardware
- Recording and Playback: Automated scheduling for the capture of live feeds
- Centralised Cloud Control: Configure, monitor, and manage multiple Outpost instances across on premise and cloud deployments from a single control layer
“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,” said Avi Zenou, CEO and co-founder of Evrideo. “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 centralised cloud control layer, broadcasters can monitor and manage multiple Outpost instances across on-premise and cloud environments through a single operational view.”
Outpost is already live in production, managing mission-critical streams at leading European broadcasters, added the company.
