softGear ™ Streaming Gateway
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 OSG-8971 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 & 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.
Your onramp to the Cloud
To complete the ground-cloud link, the OSG-8971 openGear SRT gateway seamlessly connects to the SSG and excels as your on-premises hardware solution for SRT transport.
