EdgeCaster for the Videon Compute Platform (VCP) is built on a familiar chassis… but that’s where the similarities end. EdgeCaster is served up with an encoding microservice, plus the option to subscribe to additional LiveEdge microservices, creating the ability to concoct a myriad of custom hybrid:cloud architectures.
The Videon EdgeCaster is a powerful compute device designed for the contribution edge, delivering both low-latency and cost-efficiency, all wrapped up in a surprisingly small package that’s easy to set up and always ready to evolve.
It is a Qualcomm SnapDragon powered, standards-based, scalable UHD 4Kp30 solution for all types of professional streaming applications, especially demanding time-sensitive live workflows.
EdgeCaster VCP LiveEdge® options
EdgeCaster VCP with LiveEdge® comes in a base configuration that includes an encoding microservice for a single stream/single profile output. Subscriptions for additional LiveEdge® features and applications can be added remotely, at any time, with LiveEdge® Cloud PRO.
LiveEdge® STREAM
Multiple Stream Output (3 x RTMP/SRT/RTSP - MPEG-2 TS Unicast x3 or Unicast x2 + Multicast x1)
Multi-Bit-Rate encoding (MBR) ladder up to a total of 4Kp30 - HLS, DASH, Low Latency Chunked Transfer Encoding
OTT Origin Server for monitoring
OTT HTTP Push with dual posting
LiveEdge® RUN
Enables Docker ARM64 applications to use onboard compute power to run 3rd party processing or management applications
LiveEdge® ADVANCED
Enables KLV time code synchronization for multi-camera configurations
Enables SCTE-35 ad marker/cue tone insertion for monetization
EdgeCaster VCP comes in a small chassis that is perfectly portable. That said, sometimes rack mounting is the best option for workflows with lots of live streams.
Simply add the EdgeCaster Horizontal Rack Mount Tray (19") (1RU) for direct mounting of up to 3 EdgeCaster devices. This custom rack tray is optimized for heat dissipation.
