The broadcast industry's most comprehensive solution for webcasting live events and streaming linear channels to the Web and mobile.
Anystream Agility Live captures live media, processes and simultaneously encodes it into multiple output formats and bitrates to deliver high quality, live streaming video to the Web and mobile. Media is captured from baseband feeds at pre-defined time schedules, or is dynamically captured using IP triggers, DTMF tones or GPI triggers. Agility Live applies high-quality preprocessing and simultaneously encodes the live feed into numerous output formats and bitrates. The live event is forwarded to streaming servers or content distribution networks for delivery to viewers.
Agility Live scales to automate complementary workflows, including publishing to the Web and mobile devices for on-demand viewing.
Capabilities
Create multiple formats and bitrates
Simultaneous encoding from user-defined profiles ensures the widest possible audience across numerous media players and connection speeds.
Scales to any number of live feeds
Enables multi-channel webcasting on multiple computers using a single, centrally managed workflow.
Automated scheduling and timed events
Boosts accuracy and efficiency by minimizing manual intervention through advanced scheduling and importing of XML-based schedules.
Remote access and management
Gives administrators the flexibility to configure, monitor and manage the system from a Web browser.
In-stream ad insertion
Provides revenue opportunities with minimal investment. File-based ads can be inserted into live feeds in real time using IP-based automation.
Insert event triggers into live stream
Update website content, such as ads and banners, using an IP trigger interface.
Redundancy and failover
Provides the rock-solid reliability needed to build, sustain and grow your business.
Extends to on-demand and archival applications
Simultaneously encode to any number of Web formats, or high-quality archive formats for on-demand viewing or future content repurposing.
Optimized high-quality preprocessing
Proprietary preprocessing architecture creates stunning output quality.
Webcast to multiple platforms, including mobile devices
Versatile content repurposing across new platforms reaches audiences wherever they are, including TV at home, online at work and mobile on the go.
As your workflow grows, the modular Agility Live system can scale your webcasting output with add complementary features, including webcasting to mobile devices and high-quality archiving. To centrally manage several Agility systems, add system-wide job control, load balancing and failover management capabilities.
