Amagi Transforms CLOUDPORT into Comprehensive Broadcast Platform

Amagi has announced a significant evolution of its flagship CLOUDPORT platform, shifting from a point solution to a holistic cloud broadcast infrastructure. Following a year of heavy development—shipping over 250 features—the platform now supports 100+ concurrent feeds with enhanced multi-region redundancy.

Key highlights include the launch of "Amagi Monitoring," a proactive tool that has already averted 80% of potential disruption scenarios by identifying asset gaps and delivery anomalies before they hit the air. For high-stakes live content, the integration of ultra-low-latency JPEG-XS workflows and 4K HDR support ensures premium delivery, while new automated AI captioning via Google Speech-to-Text V2 addresses global accessibility.

"Over the past year, Amagi has prioritized a fundamental shift in how broadcast infrastructure is designed—moving beyond simple cloud migration to reengineering the core of playout operations," said Srinivasan KA, Co-founder and President - Global Business at Amagi. "The latest set of upgrades directly impacts uptime, control, and scalability for broadcasters operating in high-pressure, always-on environments."

With 250+ features shipped in FY25-26, the platform now supports 100+ concurrent feeds with 200-player multi-AZ redundancy in a single tenant, enabling large-scale, distributed deployments with consistent performance and built-in resilience.

• Proactive Operations with Amagi Monitoring
This upgrade introduces Amagi Monitoring, a proactive monitoring platform purpose-built for CLOUDPORT deployments, designed to anticipate and mitigate operational risks before they impact on-air output.

The tool surfaces missing assets, schedule gaps, ingest failures, audio misconfigurations, and delivery anomalies, while delivering customer-level analytics on playout duration and asset processing. Since late 2025, Amagi Monitoring has helped avert over 80% of potential disruption scenarios.

• Enterprise-Grade Security Hardening
Security remains foundational to CLOUDPORT, reinforced through continuous platform-wide modernization. The platform has achieved SOC 2 Type II certification for the second consecutive year, ensuring robust controls across infrastructure, access, and data protection.

• Resiliency Engineered for Continuous Broadcast
CLOUDPORT is designed for 99.999% availability, with resiliency embedded across network, infrastructure, and operational layers.

At the network level, support for SMPTE ST 2022-7 enables hitless protection switching for RTP-based workflows, ensuring uninterrupted playout even in the presence of network failures.

At the infrastructure level, Active-Active multi-region redundancy and multi-availability-zone deployments, supported by flexible deployment models, eliminate single points of failure while allowing broadcasters to align resiliency with operational priorities. The on-premises Disaster Recovery Box ensures localized continuity in the event of extended cloud or network outages, with support for up to 72 hours of survivability.

• Reimagining Broadcast UX for Dynamic, Operator-Driven Workflows
CLOUDPORT shifts the broadcast paradigm from static control to adaptive, operator-centric workflows, headlined by a ~70% faster playlist publishing via new show-level playlist editing and publishing. The platform introduces a horizontal timeline view for proactive conflict management and consolidates multi-channel operations through a unified interface capable of 16-channel synchronized playout. By offering configurable widgets and streamlined control, CLOUDPORT reduces manual intervention and cognitive load, allowing broadcasters to scale regional and variant feeds with greater agility.

• Advancing Playout Performance and Viewer Experience
CLOUDPORT advances the standards of modern broadcasting by integrating ultra-low-latency JPEG-XS workflows that reduce transmission lag by up to 1.3 seconds, a critical leap for live sports and interactive viewing. The platform further elevates the viewer experience with support for 4K HDR 10-bit video and Dolby Atmos audio, ensuring premium, cinematic fidelity across HDR10 and HLG formats. To meet global accessibility needs, CLOUDPORT now features Google Speech-to-Text V2 for real-time AI captioning and translation, alongside enhanced HTML-triggered graphics automation for precise, production-grade on-air presentation at scale.

• Leveraging Cloud Advancements for Cost-Efficient Operations
CLOUDPORT further strengthens its cloud-native foundation through a deeper integration with AWS, leveraging next-generation compute instances and Amazon EKS to drive superior playout performance. By implementing Karpenter-based autoscaling and migrating to GP3 storage, the platform significantly improves resource efficiency and deployment agility. These infrastructure optimizations enable broadcasters to benefit from cloud-native advancements, improving scalability, performance, and deployment agility without introducing architectural complexity.

• Availability
These enhancements are available as part of the ongoing CLOUDPORT 4.x release cycle.
