The company has engineered a software-defined ecosystem around open standards, streamlining interoperability for content delivery.
SipRadius, a specialist in live media transport and transcoding, will showcase its implementation of AV1 and JPEG-XS over transport streams at CABSAT 2024. This approach, highlighted at stands with UK distributor Hornets Tech and FOR-A, offers new standards of quality, efficiency and stability for contribution links and remote production.
The company has engineered a software-defined ecosystem around open standards, streamlining interoperability for content delivery. A notable advancement is the introduction of a real-time AV1 codec running on a GPU. AV1 was previously deemed too resource-intensive for real-time encoding. However, SipRadius’ latest implementation opens the door for high-quality links from live content, including applications in remote production.
By developing the encapsulation of live AV1 in an MPEG-TS transport stream, SipRadius ensures seamless integration into existing architectures. Moreover, MPEG-TS preserves essential ancillary data such as the real-time clock, enabling the solution to furnish complete remote links with low latency and highly efficient bandwidth utilisation, even when multiple streams are delivered for comprehensive remote production.
Additionally, SipRadius has achieved the first practical implementation of JPEGXS in MPEG-TS. This innovation, standardised by VSF, is a significant milestone, as previous attempts at a functional system had been unsuccessful. JPEG-XS is designed for visually lossless compression with low latency and modest processing requirements.
Sergio Ammirata PhD, Founder and Chief Scientist at SipRadius, said: “The practical and economic pressures on broadcasters and production companies towards live remote production are growing. Multiple standards and formats; concerns about latency, stability and quality; and the challenges of interoperability can cause confusion and concern.
Ammirata added: “At SipRadius we believe strongly in open standards – I was one of the major architects of RIST (reliable internet stream transport) – and our goal is to bring solutions to the market, building on these standards, that deliver real, practical, implementable answers to the everyday challenges.”
SipRadius software solutions run on COTS hardware, and on specialist devices like the SOAR-A platform from FOR-A.
