StreamZ™ ONE | High-Quality Transcoder for Linear Distribution and OTT/ABR

 

 

StreamZ™ ONE is a software-based, high video-quality transcoding product built on the next-generation compression platform from Antix Digital, which offers media companies a single solution for performing a range of encoding, transcoding, and related processing operations. Powered by Zenium™, a scalable and microservices-based technology, the StreamZ ONE platform can be deployed in different physical or virtual implementations to optimize for density, quality, and cost, with all StreamZ ONE elements controlled by a common user interface for operational efficiency.

 

 

Features

  • Linear transcoding with stat mux for primary distribution applications

  • High video quality for primary and secondary distribution

  • All-software implementation for transcoding, multiplexing and processing

  • Deploys in virtual machine/cloud environments or on standard server hardware platforms

  • StreamZ ONE management allows for scalability and full redundancy at all levels

  • SMPTE ST 2022-6 HD and SD input and a multi-profile output coupled with additional Packager for ABR output formats

 

Benefits

  • Flexible deployment models: all software for virtualized, cloud, or on-premise appliance

  • Increased revenue via support of more channels in existing distribution infrastructure

  • Reduced operational expenditure with a unified platform for all compressed services and formats

  • New levels of video quality and bit rate delivery with MPEG-2 & H.264 stat mux support

  • Scalable with IT and datacenter server infrastructure

  • Ability to leverage current and future technologies across all Zenium™-based products

 

StreamZ ONE supports any-to-any H.264/MPEG-2 IP-based transcoding for linear, adaptive bitrate (ABR) and multiscreen applications, as well as an optional multiplexer to provide bandwidth-conserving statistical multiplexing of expensive or bandwidth-constrained distribution channels. Its architecture allows for rapid and robust incremental support of additional codecs, such as HEVC or future codecs.

The software-only, cloud-native nature of StreamZ ONE, with its ability to run on Linux-based virtual machines, enables support for both on-premise and cloud-based deployment models. Optimized for primary and secondary distribution, including statistical multiplexing support, StreamZ ONE allows content owners and video service providers to improve operational efficiencies by delivering more channels over existing distribution infrastructures.
