We’re excited to share that we’ll be demonstrating our Cloud Orchestration system at NAB Show with Capella Systems. We’ve designed it drawing on our extensive experience of the specific needs of ad-driven live sporting events – it guarantees quick and easy set-up of one-off live events that require a “pop-up” stack of encoder/packager and SSAI, while giving rights-holders a ground-breaking new way to curate ad opportunities. 

‍

The demonstration will include our integration with Cambria Stream and its Cambria Stream Encoder - a scalable cloud encoder with its own cluster management designed specifically for high availability live streaming workflows. It runs on major cloud platforms from companies like Akamai, AWS, and Google, and can ingest a wide range of live inputs including RTMP, SRT and Zixi. 

‍

It handles both encoding and packaging to adaptive streaming protocols including HLS and MPEG-DASH. Cambria Stream Encoder can work as a standalone live encoder or as a part of a network of multiple encoders managed by Cambria Stream Manager. As part of the Cambria Stream stack, we have integrated Ad Break Control, a real time monitoring and ad insertion interface allowing an operator to manually curate break opportunities to augment any in-band break triggers.

‍

The combination of Capella and Yospace means that sports rights-holders can take a source feed to a scalable SSAI stream in minutes. Cambria’s web-based UI allows for additional commercial break opportunities to be realised, as well as topping and tailing of channels, embargoing of content, or any slates that are typical in an outside broadcast workflow.

Our all-in-one Orchestration solution delivers the best in live encoding and server-side ad insertion (SSAI), enabling broadcasters to reliably deliver live digital streams, maximise audience choice, and monetise the content effectively.
