Ross Addresses Live Production Needs With Interstellar

News Image
Ross Video has officially launched its new browser-based remote production platform Interstellar after months of trials.

Interstellar, which was announced earlier this year, is a complete remote production platform that enables content creators to blend their 'traditional' working methods and onsite personnel with remote talent and contributors. It meets the needs of the live production industry by enabling high-quality production values and combining the convenience of a web browser interface and professional feature set with extremely low latency.

A key element of Interstellar is the Interstellar Streaming Gateway, a 1RU hardware solution that provides connectivity between SDI and WebRTC transports. Once configured, the Streaming Gateway is fully controlled by the Interstellar UI and so is extremely simple to use. Supporting 720i, 1080i and 1080p, the Streaming Gateway can receive and decode four WebRTC streams, sending these out over SDI and then receiving and distributing one incoming SDI stream to the four contributors. The hardware can manage up to sixteen audio channels per stream and supports the OPUS and H.264 codecs.

Interstellar is currently available in three editions, based on the number of remote studios, concurrent users and SDI inputs. One streaming gateway is currently required per remote studio, and customers currently have the choice of:

• Interstellar Express – 1 remote studio, 5 concurrent users, 4 streams
• Interstellar Prime – 2 remote studios, 10 concurrent users, 8 streams
• Interstellar Standard – 5 remote studios, 25 concurrent users, 32 streams.

"We're delighted to be launching the Streaming Gateway and to be forging ahead with our plans to offer Interstellar via a subscription model," commented Amanda Holtstrom, Product Manager for Interstellar at Ross. "We've all seen how important remote collaboration and production has become over the last eighteen months. I'm very proud of the work our team has done in creating a solution for the live production industry that delivers what's needed – low-latency, ease of use and rich functionality!"
