Teradek today announced a series of major upgrades to its Core and Sharelink cloud platforms. The new features greatly expand the capabilities of their H.264 and H.265 codecs by introducing multi-platform delivery, transcoding, 3rd party encoder support, and remote management of VidiU encoders.
Transcoding and 3rd Party Encoder Support for Core
Core is Teradek’s IP video management platform, which allows users to route, record, and remotely manage their Teradek codecs from anywhere in the world. For NAB 2017, Teradek is introducing real-time transcoding as a feature, allowing users to set the exact bitrate and resolution requirements for any destination they stream to. Core transcoding will allow broadcasters to maintain a high bit rate and maximum resolution for their main feed, while stepping down those requirements for platforms with more restricting standards, such as Periscope and Facebook Live.
Most importantly, Core transcoding will allow broadcasters to get the most out of their Teradek HEVC codecs. Since H.265 adoption is still growing, many platforms and hardware systems still require video feeds in the AVC format. With transcoding, broadcasters can stream to Core in
HEVC and then transcode to AVC for content delivery, saving bandwidth overhead and data cost in the process. Core will also see the introduction of MPEG-TS ingest, which allows 3rd party encoders to stream directly into the platform.
Multi-Platform Delivery, On-Demand Plans, & Remote Management for VidiU Encoders
Teradek is expanding the Sharelink platform to offer one of the most requested features of 2017: multi-platform delivery. For just $10 a month, VidiU and VidiU Pro users will be able to stream to 5 destinations at one time, whether that’s 5 different Facebook Pages or 5 different platforms. For a small additional fee, you can send your content to any number of RTMP destinations simultaneously. Teradek is also introducing remote management for all VidiU encoders, which will allow users to monitor video feeds and change the device’s bit rate, resolution, overlays, and audio configuration from anywhere in the world.
New “On-Demand” bonding plans are also available for VidiU Pro customers, giving users much more flexibility than existing monthly options. For just $10/hr, users can stream at any bit rate over any combination of network connections to 5 destinations at once.
