Cloud Distribution for
Live Broadcast
On-demand broadcast hub for cross-border live productions. Dedicated bare-metal in your region. 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. Deinterlace 1080i feeds, or output true broadcast 1080i from progressive sources. Full audio matrix — split 7.1 into discrete stereo pairs, swap or remap any channel. Or pass through bit-for-bit.
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 that keeps live routes flowing when a source drops.
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
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 & 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).
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.
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 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."
