WebRTC multi-site video transmission for broadcasting and streaming
SVC LIVECAST

Secure, low-latency WebRTC live video connects you to the far side!

What is SVC LIVECAST?
What SVC LIVECAST is

SVC LIVECAST is a system for sending and receiving live video and audio, built on WebRTC.
It comes as SaaS or on-premise, built and delivered in whichever form you want.
Because it uses WebRTC, live video from a remote site travels over the public internet with low latency, high quality and security.
And since it is reached through a web browser, it is simple to operate and easy for anyone to use.
It suits any situation where video from a remote site has to travel with low latency, high quality and security - live streaming, remote production, remote monitoring, remote operation - without laying on expensive network infrastructure of your own.

Illustration

On a broadcast job…

  • Carry less equipment to the relay point, and send fewer people
    …one person with a camera and a Jetson, working through a web browser, can cover it
  • Get live video from a remote relay point to the studio easily, and with low latency
  • Get higher picture quality from a remote camera
  • Receive remote footage at high quality and low latency, and edit and produce remotely
  • Let the crew on location check the broadcast output as it is cut, in real time

Sharing live video with an exhibition, a factory and the like…

  • Share video between sites - factories, field sites, a client's site - and work together on it
  • Share footage from an event venue or a factory floor, to pass on what is happening there or to present remotely
  • Run a joint study session or seminar across sites

Advantages of adopt
Advantages of adopting it

Cut the cost of carrying video without giving up picture quality or security!

It runs over an ordinary internet connection, so the sending and receiving regions can be chosen freely, at home or abroad, and the service is used according to the contracted term and number of channels.

Being built on WebRTC, the system needs no dedicated app installed - a web browser is enough. Without buying special equipment, you can start exchanging video with people straight away.

Less equipment means fewer people on location: one person can operate the relay, which keeps the total cost to a minimum.

An ordinary internet connection and general-purpose equipment such as a PC or a Jetson are all it takes, so live streaming and video sharing need no expensive network infrastructure or hardware.

Strong points of Service
Strong points of the service

A low-latency system for sending and receiving video and audio over WebRTC

  • A service that makes WebRTC video transmission straightforward

  • Carries and shares video between two distant sites, securely and with low latency.

  • There is an audio channel for the crew to talk and give directions on.

  • A track record of live transmission at latency as low as 80 msec for video and audio

  • A flat fee, set by the contract term and the number of channels

  • Sending and previewing live video feels simple

  • No complicated setup: the network settings feel the same as on any ordinary computer.

  • The server can be installed on AWS under your own contract, or built on-premise.

Basic Functions
Basic functions

Data encryption

  • A WebRTC session is encrypted at all times over Web Socket (AES) and HTTPS, which makes eavesdropping difficult.
  • Where personal data is logged to the database, it is encrypted with the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES256).
  • Access to stored data is limited, as a rule, to users with administrator rights.

Works on many devices

  • SVC LIVECAST is built to run in a browser.
  • It runs seamlessly on the PCs, phones and browsers below.

About Customization
About customizing this system

Taking SVC LIVECAST as the base, we also take on customization such as adding features to your requirements.
Below are examples of what can be added to the current SVC LIVECAST feature set.

  1. More than one video and audio streaming channel

    Turning the current single channel of video and audio streaming into several

  2. Wider range of video resolutions and bitrates

    For example, carrying high-definition video at 2K or 4K

  3. An on/off switch for video and audio streaming, for one-way use

    An off setting for when video and audio are not being sent

  4. Switcher and similar functions can be brought in and controlled from the PC

We will work to your requirements, so please do get in touch!
Note that customization carries a separate charge.
