Capture and playout IP streams directly to and from Avid production
Add remote IP contribution to your production

Edit and share media while capturing it

Ingest IP feeds without changing your workflow

Dual ingest high-res and proxy media
With the latest MediaCentral | Stream release,you can now simultaneously dual ingest high-res and proxy media directly to Avid NEXIS in real time in a similar manner to the proven proxy workflow you use with SDI ingest devices. Plus, the workflow provides "Edit While Capture" capabilities and multi-resolution dynamic relink for MediaCentral and Media Composer users, accelerating your production.
Get flexible, scalable deployment
MediaCentral | Stream is a software-only solution that doesn’t require any dedicated hardware, so you can choose how to integrate it. Run it as a standalone service on a virtual machine for on-premises use. Or deploy it as a cloud service for anytime, anywhere access. Plus, it’s available as a subscription, so it’s easy to scale, upgrade, and fit into your budget.Stream content from and to any location
With real-time SRT playout, you can send captured IP streams—even while Media Composer or MediaCentral is still sending them (Play While Transfer)—from your facility, a remote location, or the cloud to any SRT-enabled receiver anywhere in the world. And easily manage and edit playlists and playout with an Avid or third-party controller.
Automate your ingest
The new MediaCentral | Acquire app – part of the web-based MediaCentral | Cloud UX – puts the power of acquisition in the hands of your users in the office or remote. The app can control multiple MediaCentral | Stream channels efficiently to get media and valuable metadata directly to production teams.
Leverage SRT, RTMP, and other IP streams
With its open architecture, MediaCentral | Stream works with the most common IP streaming protocols available now—including support for encoding incoming streams with the ability to add more in the future. It supports the open and encrypted SRT protocol (Secure Reliable Transport), enabling secure, reliable remote contribution from SRT-enabled cameras, smartphones, and encoders and playout to SRT-enabled receivers. And it supports RTMP (Real-Time Messaging Protocol) too.Enable live remote workflows

Monitor feeds and performance with ease
