Simplify your architecture with one appliance

Scramble your video, audio and data elementary streams with ProStream® X video stream processor and eliminate unnecessary hardware. 

Seamlessly switch between live and main feeds for live-to-live splicing. You’ll be able to decode signals, insert ads, optimize your workflow and maintain your video quality. The solution easily integrates into existing architectures and reduces cost and complexity by eliminating the need for multiple devices in distributed cable, satellite, or telecom networks.

Multiplex up to 2,000 simultaneous services

Efficiently manage encoder statmux pools and generate regionalized transport streams with one simple product. Free up bandwidth and improve video quality with ProStream X statmux mechanisms. Easily apply long-term average bitrate configurations for each video to secure and maintain your customer’s video quality. 

Scramble with secure & stable technology

Increase security and reduce costs with the first stream processor to offer 128-bit DVB CSA3 encryption. You can scramble any format of video, audio and data elementary stream, including AES and DVB-CSA v1,V2 and 128-bit CSAV3 encryption. The ProStream X provides Secured Reliable Transport (SRT) support for both listener and caller modes. 

Deployment model adaptability

This appliance is available in several deployment models for a perfect fit with infrastructure requirements, including a server with ProStream X and a baremetal installation with ProStream X SW.
