Transport workflows for live operations

Move high-value live video into, through, and out of your own infrastructure with routing, failover, and operator visibility.

SRT-first routing

Route live video with SRT as the primary transport, plus UDP, RTP (TS), and RTMP for contribution, distribution, and handoff.

Automatic failover

Keep routes on air by switching from a primary source to a backup when transport health degrades or links drop.

Multi-destination delivery

Send one live source to multiple unicast or multicast outputs across your network.

Operations visibility

Track route status, transport health, Prometheus metrics, and pipeline logs while workflows are live.

Agent-ready control

Operate from the web UI, REST API, WebSocket updates, or MCP endpoint for agent-driven workflows.

Architecture

Three layers: a control plane for operators, isolated stream workers for transport, and real-time visibility for live operations.
