Cloud Distribution for
Live Broadcast
On-demand broadcast hub for cross-border live productions. Dedicated servers deployed in 24-48 hours. Public pricing. Direct human support.
New York · London · Frankfurt · Paris · Virginia · Los Angeles · Singapore · Helsinki
Extended reach: Tokyo · Hong Kong · Beijing · Sydney — available through partner network.
The Flow
Three stages. Deterministic. Predictable.
Process
Optional transcoding with FFmpeg. Deinterlacing and field merge for 1080i sources. Audio matrix routing for complex channel mapping (7.1→stereo). Or zero-copy passthrough when processing isn't needed.
Reference deployment architecture
Two annotated diagrams showing how Vajracast handles a redundant SRT contribution, multi-region restream and multi-protocol delivery to rights-holders. Hover any node for details.
Video Stream Failover
Multi-input redundancy with automatic switchover under 50ms.
Sub-50ms Switchover
UDP selector switches between inputs at the frame level. Downstream decoders stay locked.
Auto-Failover & Failback
Up to 8 redundant inputs per route. On signal loss, either switch to the input with the best current quality (Best Score) or move down the list to the next working one (Round-robin). Optional auto-failback walks back up to the highest working input when it recovers and holds 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, RTMP, HTTP sources in one failover group. Each with independent settings.
Video Routing Features
Infrastructure-grade reliability for live broadcasting.
One-to-Many Distribution
Fan-out any input to dozens of outputs with no additional CPU cost per destination. Zero-copy fan-out in shared memory keeps overhead flat whether you have 1 taker or 50.
Hot Management
Add, remove, or reconfigure outputs while streams are live. No route restart, no interruption to other destinations. Production-safe changes at any time.
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.
Prometheus & Grafana
Full /metrics endpoint covering bandwidth, packet loss, RTT, CPU/RAM per process, and GPU encoder load. Pre-built Grafana dashboards ship with every instance.
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.
Crash Recovery
Automatic process adoption after any server restart. All routes rebuild from running processes in seconds. Zero manual intervention, zero lost streams.
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 multi-region in the same image.
SRT, RTMP, NDI, ST 2110 Protocol Support
Native protocol conversion. IP streams to NDI and ST 2110.

Live Stream Routing Use Cases
From ingest to global delivery.
Live Broadcast
Contribution feeds from field to studio. SRT bonding for mobile reporters. Automatic failover between primary and backup. Real-time quality monitoring.
Live Events
Multi-camera routing for concerts, sports, conferences. Fan-out to broadcast, web, social simultaneously. Add destinations on the fly as needs change.
OTT / Streaming
Ingest from any source, transcode with hardware acceleration, distribute via HLS or TS over HTTP. Built-in HLS player with latency indicator.
Remote Production
SRTLA bonding for unreliable networks. Works with BELABOX and mobile encoders. Starlink-ready. Automatic failover keeps the feed alive.
In Production
Teams running Vajracast in broadcast environments.
"We run 40+ routes 24/7. Hardware transcoding dropped our server costs by 60%. The visual routing diagram makes training new ops trivial."
"We handle live contribution across US, Europe and Asia. The multi-input failover saved our broadcast twice already. Reliable and cost-effective."
