LiveOS is a software solution that enables local, remote, and decentralized live media production. We virtualized the control room and the OB truck, by transforming dedicated hardware into software modules, that run on IT servers and a SMPTE 2110 video over IP network.
LiveOS is being used for the live and near-live production of News, Sports, Entertainment, Events, Conferences, and for Ingest or MCR workflows. A large library of specialized media applications, fast setup, and smooth sharing of reusable resources make LiveOS a very efficient and cost-effective solution.
The Production Suite is an extensive library of real-time video and audio software modules, such as video mixer, video server, multiviewers, routers, HTML5 graphics, slow-motion replay, automation and more. The software modules are operated through the web-based LiveOS user interface and on hardware panels.
LiveOS productions are tailored to the needs of your worklow, by combining the required Production Suite software modules.
The Infrastructure Suite offers tools for the management of the LiveOS software and hardware, including user management, production design, orchestration, and resource monitoring.
The LiveOS Media Server offers flexible and reliable media processing capabilities for running the Production Suite real-time software modules.
The LiveOS solution is highly scalable, allowing for the deployment of one or multiple servers based on resource and redundancy requirements. With unified processing power and a private cloud setup, multiple servers are organized into a single resource pool, supporting multiple simultaneous live and recorded productions. The server features high-density SMPTE 2110 IO, providing up to 64 inputs and outputs in 1080i50/60 or 32 inputs and outputs in 1080p50/60. The system operates on common off-the-shelf (COTS) platforms like Dell and HP.
LiveConnect is an advanced Video over IP solution built on NetOn.Live’s dedicated network switches and SDN controller. It serves as the real-time media transport layer of LiveOS, ensuring efficient and high-quality media transmission. Key features of LiveConnect include uncompressed SMPTE2110 video and audio transport, video clean switching within the network, and SMPTE 2022-7 redundancy for enhanced reliability.
LiveConnect supports NMOS IS-04 and IS-05 for signal exchange with other ST-2110 networks, making sure that LiveOS can easily fit into existing broadcast infrastructures.
LiveOS is an open system designed to integrate with a wide range of professional media production workflows. Its comprehensive API and support for numerous industry-standard protocols facilitate effortless integration with cameras, broadcast controllers, graphics systems, NRCS, edit suites, and storage solutions. This flexibility ensures that LiveOS is a pivotal part of a dynamic and interconnected production environment. By bridging the gap between various third-party solutions, LiveOS empowers media professionals to create, manage, and deliver content more efficiently and effectively.
