BRIDGE LIVE is AJA’s family of high-density IP video solutions that provide flexible real-time, bi-directional encoding, decoding, and transcoding capabilities in a 1RU chassis for the most demanding multi-channel UltraHD and HD workflows. Developed in partnership with Comprimato, the devices support a range of broadcast, production, and proAV applications and include an intuitive UI for straightforward setup, configuration, and operation. Professionals can use them to streamline remote production and collaboration, for synchronous multi-channel video contribution, D2C streaming, or for multi-bit rate/multi-format delivery via a range of IP video standards, SDI, or both.
Released in May, BRIDGE LIVE 3G-8 includes eight bi-directional 3G-SDI connectors, enabling up to eight channels of HD I/O. This offers high channel-density, lowering per-channel video costs, enabling teams to convert video between SDI and industry-standard IP video codecs and protocols. H.264, H.265, NDI, SRT, RTMP, and HLS are all supported, addressing a myriad of common encoding, decoding, and transcoding needs in the field.
BRIDGE LIVE 3G-8 also enables secure, reliable multi-channel video backhaul over the public internet via SRT, rather than deploying costly satellite, dedicated lines, or fiber networks. Multi-camera streaming to content delivery networks like YouTube Live, Facebook Live, and Twitch is also supported, as is encoding produced video for high quality IPTV and OTT distribution. Adaptive bitrate channels can be created from SDI sources, creating ABR ladder profiles using standard codecs such as H.264(AVC) or H.265 (HEVC).
Additionally, BRIDGE LIVE 3G-8 simplifies SDI video encoding for live productions, where video is delivered as the intended or intermediate format, like H.264/5, 4:2:0. Telco, IPTV, and cable operators can then leverage the output for further processing or direct streaming to their networks.
