Overview

One engine. Every time-shift service.

A single microservices-based platform bridges live ingest and on-demand delivery - in both directions.

Time-Shift & VOD Platform

Make Live accessible as VOD - and let VOD become a Live channel.

vxVideo Wizard allows you to take control over all of your video streams - a compact, highly efficient, microservices-based solution that ingests standardized modern streaming protocols and turns them into a full time-shift offer.

  • Standards-based ingest - HLS and DASH (CMAF), plus FAST channel files: MP4, TS, MKV, AVI, MOV and more

  • Four services in a simple way - CatchUp TV, TimeShift TV, nPVR and FAST channels added to your offer

  • Both directions - make Live accessible as VOD, and let the VOD library become a Live channel

  • Intelligent storage - assets reused for multiple services when possible; Shared Copy and Unique Copy both possible

  • Hardware-agnostic - microservices-based architecture, fully agnostic of the hardware

Live in, VOD out - and back again

One engine drives the whole loop.
