softGear ™ Streaming Gateway

u003cdiv class=u0022gdlr-core-pbf-background-wrapu0022u003eThe softGear Streaming Gateway (SSG) is a cloud-based solution designed to break down barriers and empower next-generation production workflows. It seamlessly connects on-premises and cloud-based environments, providing a flexible and scalable platform for efficient video transport and processing. It efficiently receives and decodes SRT streams from the ground, forwarding them onwards for further processing using NDI-based cloud services.u003c/divu003e

Conversely, it can retrieve content from other cloud instances via NDI and send it back to the ground over SRT. To complete the link to on-premises facilities, the u003ca href=u0022https://www.rossvideo.com/infrastructure/opengear-modular/osg-8971/u0022u003eOSG-8971u003c/au003e openGear SRT encoder/decoder excels as your on-premises hardware solution.

Streamlined Workflows

As a perfect complement to Ross Video’s cloud-based ecosystem, the SSG facilitates smooth connectivity to NDI-connected Ross instanced deployed in the cloud. This streamlines your workflow, enhances efficiency, and empowers you to unlock the full potential of cloud-based production solutions.

Scalability u0026 Flexibility

The SSG is designed for flexibility and scalability with simple, per-channel licensing. Each licensed transcoder can be configured as NDI to SRT or SRT to NDI – one license can accommodate either direction. Easily add more channels with additional licenses and reassign directions any time as workflows change.

Enabling Cloud-Based Graphics

Enhanced support for Ross XPression Graphics includes NDI Alpha Channel along with coupled key and fill over SRT. This workflow maintains the integrity of graphics key and fill signals from cloud to ground. This approach unlocks the full potential of cloud-based graphics generation, efficiently supporting geographically dispersed teams and variable graphics workload demands.

More than just Transport

The SSG goes beyond simply transporting video streams. It offers advanced capabilities like audio channel remapping and sample rate conversion, providing additional control and flexibility for your production needs.

Unified Experience

The softGear Streaming Gateway leverages DashBoard for unified and streamlined control. This familiar interface minimizes the learning curve for users, allowing them to seamlessly manage both ground-based and cloud-based elements within a single, cohesive workflow.
