StreamHub is now vendor-agnostic with third-party encoders & transmitters

The new software version of our iconic StreamHub transceiver is now vendor-agnostic and universally compatible with third-party transmitters. Using StreamHub, you can receive transmissions from various types of transmitters, enabling you to quickly, easily, and simultaneously share high-quality live content with multiple affiliates or other broadcast facilities.

The StreamHub provides you with a scalable and tailored video solution for managing and sharing live streams from multiple transmitters via a single interface. With StreamHub, you can manage multiple streams and distribute them to multiple affiliates from a single point of control. Having the power to interconnect to numerous third-party live transmission tools instantaneously saves your time and money.

Knowing that you are often on the go and working from remote locations, StreamHub offers a web-based user interface with a video thumbnail view. This tool allows you to build a live video multiview composed with all input streams, which can be fed to affiliates. The multiview can be enriched with overlay information for each source, such as audio level and transmitter name. The main advantage of this capability is that it reduces data while feeding affiliates with multiple streams, allowing affiliates to choose a primary feed from those available.

“By streamlining their production workflow and optimizing costs with our flagship StreamHub transceiver, broadcasters can offer an increased amount of live video content and boost viewer engagement. During a live event, broadcasters need to ensure there is no delay. Viewers do not want to miss a second of the action, especially for live sports. Choosing Haivision’s live video solution with state-of-the-art HEVC encoding will ensure high-quality video at minimum bit rates with low latency.”
