The Streambox Platform

Streambox provides a single software-based platform for live and file-based video transport and acquisition over IP. The platform comprises clients - from small form factor mobile devices and laptops - to rule-based video management and play-out systems. The scalable end-to-end Streambox solutions can be integrated into all IP centric broadcast and broadband operations.

Streambox solutions are based on the industry-leading ACT-L3™ codec which provides unrivaled performance, reliability, and quality over low data rate IP networks for fast transmission and play-out of video streams in HD and SD. Our platform solutions enable broadcasters, government agencies, enterprises and other users to enhance their content ownership, simplify operations, and increase operational efficiencies.

Reduce Cost
Media groups serving local television markets are turning to Streambox in increasing numbers because our technology helps them enhance their mobile newsgathering capabilities while streamlining overall news operations and reducing cost. In fact, for less than half the cost of a microwave truck, a local broadcaster would be able to deploy a basic Streambox package comprising several software encoders, scalable video management systems, and play-out capabilities.

Increase Competitiveness
Our newsgathering platform helps broadcasters stay competitive, simplify operations, and potentially increase their market share by enabling them to report breaking news as events unfold and simultaneously feeding the video to their websites, affiliate stations and networks, as well as other news properties, such as newspaper websites.
