Overview

We are leaders in the use of Commercial-of-the-Shelf (COTS) hardware for professional, low-latency video transport.

Our Encoders and Decoders are able to deliver high quality, low-latency contribution feeds, running on standard IT hardware. Both turnkey solutions or bring-your-own-hardware options are available. By leveraging the advantages in CPU-based video processing, customers are able to build flexible contribution encode and decode solutions, including mixed encode/decode functionality in any combination!

  • We have developed our own SDI card to provide the lowest latency of any comparable encoder – latency is as low as 100ms glass-to-glass
  • With our native support for ST-2110 (up to 100Gbit/s), dozens of channels can be encoded and decoded on a single server.
  • We have a powerful, fully in-house developed SRT implementation
  • Perpetual licences, transferable licences and flexible event-based licensing are all available

All of our products are managed via a powerful UI or SNMP.

OBE C-200 Encoder / Decoder

The C-200 is the platform that delivers premium broadcast content. Already delivering ultra-high value content to millions around the globe, in pristine quality and the lowest end-to-end latency in its class.

As with all OBE products the C-200 platform is available as pure software for IT-centric deployments or as appliances for more traditional use-cases, all at a fraction of the cost of existing equipment, making the most of the savings provided by commodity equipment. The C200 Decoder is capable of decoding MPEG-TS to 2022-6 and 2110 Uncompressed IP, using software running on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware.

High Density encoding and decoding, up to 64-channels in 2-rack-units, provides unrivalled density
