NetOn.Live Launches LiveOS

NetOn.Live has announced the launch of LiveOS – a revolutionary end-to-end software-based platform for high-end live and near-live media production.

Broadcast customers are demanding a flexible, scalable, shareable, and more efficient live broadcast infrastructure. To enable this NetOn.Live created LiveOS – a modular software platform that enables local, remote, and decentralised production. LiveOS translates the functionalities that are traditionally found in dedicated hardware devices, into software modules that run on generic IT servers over a SMPTE 2110 based, uncompressed Video over IP network.

The LiveOS software modules can be easily combined in multiple ways to fulfil the various requirements of multiple productions. LiveOS provides a Graphical User Interface (GUI) to operate these software modules, which can be accessed from anywhere in the world via a standard web browser. Programmable hardware panels from different vendors are also supported by the LiveOS platform.

A LiveOS private cloud platform allows broadcasters to design, configure, and quickly spin up and down multiple concurrent productions, such as drama, sports, news, and entertainment. This could be based on local and/or remote studios with the flexibility of having control rooms in the same or remote locations. All this is supported on the same private cloud platform.

A LiveOS production manages the number of users and their specific job profiles required in the production. A LiveOS user has the ability to design his/her own UI layout using the right creative tools and workflows needed to efficiently run a production, wherever they are located. Enhancing efficiency even further, LiveOS offers a vast array of professional broadcast functionality out of the box and integrates with third party products like Studio & PTZ cameras, News Room Computer Systems and Rundown solutions – as needed.

Alongside unmatched functionality, LiveOS is an inherently scalable solution. It can translate
video, audio and control signals into IP packets, which are transmitted over the network. This makes cabling and management more straightforward and efficient – as LiveOS can be scaled from small to medium facilities to large and enterprise level broadcast operations. This enables broadcasters to transition from the traditional “one studio, one tech room” model, to a much more flexible, “many studios, one private cloud” approach.
