NewTek and Wowza Deliver the First Ever Global and Local Media Distribution Platform posted: 04/10/2016
Multi-channel media encoding and streaming video system distributes content directly to viewers within the firewall and externally to any device or to all common cloud services, anywhere
NewTek and Wowza Media Systems launched the MDS , a revolutionary real-time media encoding and live streaming video delivery platform. The MDS is a fully integrated hardware and software solution merging NewTek's industry-leading live production technology with the powerful, proven Wowza streaming software in a 1RU footprint. The result is the industry's first integrated production system establishing a direct link between the producers who create the content and the viewers that consume it.
Fully equipped for existing and emerging SDI, IP, and hybrid workflows, the MDS, delivers flawless processing of up to 4 channels of video. Streaming sources are acquired through direct, physical input using 3G/HD/SD-SDI hardware connections, over IP via NDI , NewTek's innovative Network Device Interface technology, and from other sources, including TCP/IP, webcams, and USB capture devices. Local input sources are also automatically translated to NDI within the system; enabling streaming sources to be delivered and deployed through multiple MDS to maximize resources, performance, and delivery potential. The MDS enables any production, presentation, or live event to be seen by anyone, anywhere on a mobile device, desktop or OTT device, by supporting delivery to Wowza Cloud, Wowza CDN and Wowza Player, or alternative workflows, allowing users to launch their own multi-channel content networks. Support for all common CDNs is provided with out-of-the-box support for Facebook, Microsoft Azure, Wowza, YouTube, custom RTMP, and many more.
The MDS, is designed to bring video encoding and streaming to more users and use cases, said Dr. Andrew Cross, president and chief technology officer for NewTek. Born out of a relationship between NewTek and Wowza Media Systems, we integrated everything needed to deliver video from the production either to the viewer directly or through the cloud. The result is an industry first, allowing users to launch their own multi-channel content networks. Productions, presentations and live events can be seen by anyone, anywhere on any device - directly from the control room, studio, or production site.
The MDS democratizes video encoding and streaming for producers of live and linear programming, introducing a myriad of new opportunities for distribution, expansion, and content monetization, said Dave Stubenvoll, chief executive officer for Wowza Media Systems. With support for multi-bitrate delivery to the Wowza Streaming Engine, Wowza Streaming Cloud, Wowza CDN, and all common streaming services and websites, organizations can reach all intended audiences, wherever they watch.
Producers can easily deliver content between locations by connecting two MDS together - either through a local area network, or remotely crossing wide geographic boundaries. Video production to content delivery over IP makes enterprise deployments effortless.
Signature Online Experience
The MDS also allows organizations to extend their brand and exposure beyond actual video content. Each streaming channel includes its own independently customizable web page for audience viewing, with support for HTML and CSS editing to ensure that the on-screen experience adheres to organizational brand guidelines. Embed codes are also available to insert the hosted Wowza Player into existing webpages to complement your current web presence.
Extensive Channel Configuration
The MDS ensures the optimal audio-visual experience for viewing audiences right from the system by introducing another layer of quality control into any signal flow. With support for dedicated multiviewer monitoring, a local operator can observe all video streams in real time or focus on a specific channel full-screen, and manage image and sound quality with integrated waveform and vectorscope displays, independent color correction tools, and multi-channel audio level control available for every stream.
MDS Highlights:
Built-in Wowza streaming media server software
Integrated NDI technology supporting input and output over IP
4 multi-format SDI inputs supporting up to 3G 1080p
4 streaming channels
NewTek's real-time video and audio production tools
