Your signal. Your deployment.
Use the same live routing and processing workflows in our managed cloud or on infrastructure you control.
Self-hosted license
Connect satellite IRDs, encoders and control rooms on your own servers. Bridge local UDP feeds to SRT contribution and distribution, in your facility or a data center of your choice.
Discuss self-hosting CHOOSE THE SIGNAL PATH
Preserve the feed. Adapt it when needed.
These are distinct modes, selected to match the downstream receiver.
Transparent UDP ↔ SRT
Carry an IRD’s MPEG-TS from UDP to SRT, or back to UDP, without remuxing or transcoding. Exact relay, preserved source continuity counters and no media processing keep the TS packet bytes intact.
MPEG-TS normalization
Remux the transport stream without re-encoding the audio and video. Add processing only when you need to change codecs, audio mapping, resolution or interlacing for the destination.
Raw relay preserves source defects as well as the signal. Normalization changes the transport stream; transcoding changes the encoded media. Choose the path your receiver needs.
01
The Flow
Three stages. Deterministic. Predictable.
Ingest
Take contribution from anywhere: Broadcast SRT encoders (listener or caller, AES encryption), WHIP WebRTC sources, RIST Main Profile senders with ARQ, bonded cellular units over SRTLA (BELABOX and Moblin), IP cameras over RTSP, HLS or TS-over-HTTP feeds pulled from a CDN, raw UDP, or an all-in-one TV channel playout with graphics. Dropped sources reconnect automatically.
Process
Optional transcoding. Stabilize a fragile MPEG-TS feed rejected by a CDN ingest, MCR or SATCOM contribution chain: remux and normalize the transport stream to meet the downstream receiver’s requirements. Deinterlace 1080i feeds, or output true broadcast 1080i from progressive sources. Use the full audio matrix to split 7.1 into discrete stereo pairs, swap or remap any channel — or pass through bit-for-bit. Create an additional output dedicated to social media and mobile, cropped to vertical 9:16.
Redistribute
Send one route to multiple outputs using SRT, WHEP, HLS, RTMP, RTSP, RIST, SRTLA, HTTP/TS, UDP, NDI or ST 2110*, and record it directly to a file. In passthrough, each additional output adds no significant CPU overhead.
*Cloud Indie, Solo and Pro include up to 100 outputs per route. Availability also depends on plan bandwidth, resources and infrastructure.

02
Video Stream Failover
Multi-input redundancy that keeps live routes flowing when a source drops.
Failover demo
Quality-based settings
Fast Live Failover
When a source drops, Vajracast switches to the next available input without tearing down the route. Outputs keep flowing while operators stay in control.
Auto-Failover & Failback
Configure a primary input and up to 7 backups per route. On signal loss, switch to the healthiest available input (Best Score) or move down the configured priority list to the next available backup (Round-robin). Optional auto-failback switches back to the designated primary input once it has recovered and remained stable.
Hot-Add Inputs & Outputs
Add or remove sources and destinations while streaming. No route restart, no interruption to the live feed.
Mixed Protocols
Combine SRT, RIST, RTMP and HTTP sources in one failover group. Each with independent settings.
03
Video Routing Features
Infrastructure-grade reliability for live broadcasting.
One-to-Many & Chained Routes
Fan out one input to dozens of outputs, or reuse one prepared feed across downstream routes. Transcode once, deliver everywhere, with flat overhead for passthrough workflows.
Hot Management
Add a backup source or a new destination to a route that's on air. Nothing restarts, nothing drops — every other feed keeps flowing.
Audio Matrix
Multi-PID audio passthrough preserves all audio tracks through the chain. Split 7.1 surround into 4 stereo pairs, remap channels, or merge them back. Per-channel gain control.
Monitoring & Alerts
Per-route email alerts — source lost, failover switched, source recovered — with a grace window so a brief blip never pages anyone. Full Prometheus /metrics and pre-built Grafana dashboards for the ops side.
Hardware Transcode
HEVC to H.264, interlace handling, resolution scaling — all GPU-accelerated via NVIDIA NVENC, Intel QSV, or VAAPI. Auto-fallback if a GPU is unavailable.
Diagram View
Interactive route visualization showing every input, output, and their connections in real time. Stats overlay on every node.
Always On Air
Software updates and maintenance never interrupt what's on air. After a reboot or a power cut, every route comes back on its own — nobody gets up at 3 a.m.
Bars & Tone
Put a broadcast-standard test signal on air in one click — color bars, 1 kHz tone, overlaid text and timecode. No black, no silence, no panic while a source is down or being prepared.
VMAF Quality Analysis
Objective video quality scoring (VMAF 0–100, PSNR) on any active route. One-click comparison between source and output with full history and trend tracking.
REST API
Full CRUD on routes, inputs, outputs. JWT authentication, OpenAPI documentation. Automate deployments, integrate with your monitoring stack, script anything.
Docker & Kubernetes
Ship as a container. Orchestrate with K8s, provision with Terraform, share state across instances with PostgreSQL. From single-server to containerized multi-instance (experimental).

Live Stream Routing Use Cases
From ingest to global delivery.
Live Broadcast
Contribution feeds from field to studio. Normalize incoming streams for reliable interoperability between encoders, MCRs, CDNs, and broadcast decoders. SRT bonding for mobile reporters, automatic failover between primary and backup sources, and real-time quality monitoring.
Encoder / Decoder Interoperability
Relay MPEG-TS over UDP without remuxing, or normalize its transport structure for the receiver. When media adaptation is needed, process H.264/HEVC, audio, codec headers, GOPs and frame rates. Deinterlace 1080i, preserve field order and cadence, or generate broadcast 1080i from progressive sources. Choose the processing required by each encoder, CDN, MCR or decoder—not a blanket re-encode.
Live Events / Remote Production
Multi-camera routing for concerts, sports, and conferences. Distribute program, isolated camera (ISO), and return feeds in the formats each destination needs, with cloud distribution for intercom and monitoring. Deliver to broadcast, web, and social platforms simultaneously via SRT, RTMP, or HLS, including a vertical 9:16 version for social media. Add destinations on the fly. Automatic failover switches between primary and backup sources.
Live Sports / Field Contribution
Route feeds from motorcycles, helicopters, field receivers, commentary positions, intercom paths, and program outputs. Built for outdoor sports, races, remote venues, and moving production units.
SRT Distribution / Syndication
Take one contribution feed and fan it out to affiliates, CDNs, partners, backup sites, and monitoring receivers over SRT. Each destination can be managed, monitored, and protected independently.
Broadcast Multi-Feed Operations
Run HD, 4K, SDR, HDR, program, backup, and monitoring feeds side by side. Prepare a feed once, reuse it across downstream routes, and keep every version visible to operators.
OTT / Streaming
Ingest MPEG-TS over UDP or SRT with up to four stereo audio tracks. Automatically generate adaptive HLS in four video resolutions using hardware-accelerated transcoding, preserving each audio track as a selectable language option. SCTE-35 cues from the incoming feed are converted into ad-break markers and inserted into the HLS playlists in real time. Also deliver RTMP outputs to streaming and social platforms.
24/7 TV Channels / Web TV
Operate linear TV and Web TV channels 24/7. Receive SRT feeds from satellite or CDN contribution paths, preserve or process the programme, then distribute it to broadcast partners and web audiences via SRT, RTMP, or HLS.
Playout / Linear Channels
Build linear channels from media files and scheduled playlists. Play multitrack content with up to four stereo audio tracks. Schedule programming from Excel, add graphics, logos, and overlays in real time, and generate SCTE-35 cues for scheduled ad breaks.
