Scale ingest and playout without adding complexity
A new channel is ready to launch. Content and schedules are in place. Now your ingest and playout capacity has to keep pace without adding unnecessary complexity.
With an infrastructure-agnostic approach, makalu and clipbox let you add capacity across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments. As software-defined, containerized components on an open, MXL-based foundation, they help you scale with demand without requiring dedicated appliances for every new requirement.
At IBC, see how makalu and clipbox support flexible ingest and playout workflows on an open foundation, from real-time ingest and production playout to channel origination.
From incoming content to air
clipbox supports real-time studio ingest and playout for time-critical news production. makalu provides channel origination and playout for linear, live, FAST, and pop-up channels. Together, they connect real-time ingest, production playout, and channel origination on one open foundation.
Both products run as containerized components on an MXL-based foundation. MXL exchanges video, audio, and timed metadata between media applications, helping you connect functions without committing your operation to one closed technology stack.
When demand rises, capacity can rise with it. When the peak passes, resources can scale back. The same foundation can support linear, FAST, and pop-up channels, disaster recovery scenarios, and time-critical newsroom operations across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments.
What this means for your operations
Use makalu for channel origination and playout across linear, live, FAST, and pop-up channels.
Use clipbox for real-time ingest and playout in time-critical news and studio production.• Scale with demand
Expand or reduce containerized resources as channel and production requirements change.
Run across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments using standard infrastructure.
Exchange video, audio, and timed metadata through MXL while reducing dependency on dedicated appliances and closed vendor stacks.
Real Talk starts with the channel you need to launch or the capacity you need to add. Bring us your requirements, and together we’ll assess how makalu and clipbox fit your environment and define a practical first step toward faster deployment and lower infrastructure costs.
