Broadcasters and digital content providers need to capture and preserve the highest possible quality video when acquiring content from news, sports, and other live events. You need something with the ability to process SD, HD, and HDR signals, along with audio channels, to transport these at high speed and with minimal latency over a variety of existing networks. Great encoders are a key requirement in live streaming. There are also small and robust stand-alone devices that make streaming and recording easy. Let us know what you are looking to do and we can talk through what will work best for your project.
IP streaming solution for professional media
Chroma by Streambox enables real-time remote color grading, editorial review and content approvals for post-production. Transport of the highest quality 12-bit 4:4:4 video in various formats, such as 4K HDR, is achievable over public, private, and Streambox Cloud Services IP networks. Post professionals can share, view and listen to content with the necessary detail to make informed decisions from multiple remote locations. Streambox recently announced that the Chroma products now support Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos®.
For collaborative workflows in HD, the smaller Chroma X encoder/decoder provides near lossless video quality. You can create streaming content for broadcasting, enterprises, and post production by providing low latency video in HD formats over public and private IP networks.
For playout in 4K, Chroma + is a professional quality 4K video playout device that delivers HDMI output with optional support for Dolby Vision. It is a cost-effective solution to remotely and securely review post-production content in real-time with support for strong 256-bit encrypted connections.

Another new and exciting product by Streambox is a virtual encoder called Spectra, which extends the capabilities to include color accurate remote review and collaboration. It is deployed as a cloud-based virtual machine and integrates with Avid and Adobe virtual editors. Future iterations of Spectra will support the same capability for virtual machine versions of DaVinci Resolve, Autodesk Flame and FilmLight’s Baselight.
