BRINGING UNITY TO IP WORKFLOWS SipRadius
BY ANNE MORRIS
US developer SipRadius is aiming to demonstrate how it brings order and security to fragmented IP media workfl ows with a unifi ed platform designed for live broadcast operations.
The company says the platform is built to deliver low-latency, secure media transport at scale, replacing patchwork options with a cohesive environment for encoding, timing, routing and encryption.
CoralOS is a custom operating system that underpins all SipRadius products and is built specifi cally for real-time media. The platform supports open standards such as RIST and offers deployment on-prem, in the public cloud, or as a self-hosted private cloud. Sergio Ammirata, Founder and Chief Scientist at SipRadius, said: “Too often, IP systems are built from separate components with different operating systems, different update cycles and different vulnerabilities. CoralOS
connecting traditional and digital advertising models, empowering broadcasters and service providers to maximise their revenue streams. 1.B20
allows us to unify the stack and harden the platform at every level, from signal processing to user access.”
SipRadius claims its architecture enables broadcasters to deploy their own private clouds, ensuring full control over security while retaining the benefi ts of virtualisation. The approach ensures consistency across production and distribution workfl ows and adapts easily to changing network conditions, the company added. 5.H27
