07/09/2024

Cerberus Tech, a leader in cloud-native IP contribution and distribution, today announced a series of updates that combine to increase user control in working with the company's Livelink self-serve provisioning, orchestration, and automation platform for live cloud video transport and processing workflows. With significant enhancements across Livelink's cloud deployment options, monitoring and processing capabilities, audio management tools, and UI/UX, the broadcast-first platform increases operational visibility and supports even more flexible and efficient IP transport of live linear and OTT content.

Driven by direct customer engagement and evolving industry requirements, new updates to Livelink bring users even greater control, flexibility, and efficiency in live cloud video transport and processing, said Chris Clarke CRO and cofounder at Cerberus Tech. In addition to introducing flexible cloud deployment and industry-first on-demand access to top-tier motion compensated frame-rate conversion, this round of Livelink updates improve visibility and control over transport workflows while simplifying key elements of content processing and delivery.

Livelink combines a protocol-agnostic, multicloud-compatible infrastructure with low-latency reach to simplify IP workflows and enable scalable self-serve content delivery for occasional use or 24/7 distributions. Cerberus Tech is continually innovating and improving the platform to address evolving operational demands.

Deployment Into User Cloud Accounts and Multicloud Support

In a major change to the platform, Cerberus Tech now enables users to deploy Livelink provisioning, orchestration, and scheduling into their own cloud accounts. Users have the option of managing infrastructure and egress costs themselves, taking advantage of Livelink functionality along with resources enabled by their existing cloud service contracts. Livelink now also supports the deployment of workflows across multiple cloud providers, ensuring greater resilience and reliability.

Motion Compensated Frame-Rate Conversion

With the integration of Ateme's acclaimed Gen 7 STREAM encoding engine, Livelink now boasts motion compensated frame-rate conversion, becoming the first platform to offer this tier-1 processing capability on a self-service, pay-as-you-go, on-demand basis. This feature is a critical enabler of workflows requiring high-quality standards conversion with minimal latency.

UI and UX Enhancements

Cerberus Tech has refined the Livelink user interface and improved the user experience to reduce unnecessary interactions, increase consistency across features and functions, and boost ease of use. In addition to upgrading the platform's overall look and feel, these Livelink updates make operation even more intuitive and reduce the time needed to perform key functions.

A new interactive dashboard gives users a high-level overview of platform activities, providing live thumbnails of sources, connection status at every destination, scheduled events, notifications, and real-time billing so that it's easy to assess and manage live video workflows. To enable users to work with sources and feeds more efficiently, Cerberus Tech has added a new contextual search bar, as well as improved logging and notifications. The billing module within Livelink has been upgraded to reflect usage and costs more clearly, and to support user tracking of resource utilisation within their own cloud environments. The new Livelink calendar view brings all the power and familiarity of common calendar app functionality to the platform, including the ability to copy and paste schedules, build recurring schedules, and easily duplicate schedules without the need to manually input data.

Custom Mosaic Support for TAG Video Systems Solution

Livelink now supports the import of custom mosaics created in the TAG Realtime Media platform, simplifying integration and enabling a consistent monitoring experience, whether for overflow applications or for expansion of live video processing and transport workflows using Livelink.

Simplified Audio Management

Livelink's audio selection and shuffling capabilities have been improved to better support regionalized streaming outputs. This update simplifies the process of pairing video streams with the appropriate audio languages, crucial for events with multiple language feeds.
