3xScreen’s portfolio of online video services and solutions has been created by integrating the best available technology building blocks with our own custom developments and code. 3xScreen’s principal technology suppliers are listed below:
3xScreen mostly uses Sony’s BRCH700 HD robotic cameras for our HD live productions since they enable a HD-SDI genlocked workflow in which multiple cameras can be controlled by a single remote control unit, increasing operational efficiency and cutting down the visual impact of camera positions.
NewTek TCXD850 Tricasters sit at the heart of 3xScreen’s HD Live Productions. The TCXD850 is a 24-channel, 1080p native switcher that supports up to eight HD live cameras, eight virtual/mix channels, green screen virtual sets, the integration of clips, images, PowerPoint slides and other network sources and audio mixing.
3xScreen uses Inlet Spinnaker encoders when live streaming to multiple platforms including Apple HTTP Live Streaming to iPhones and iPads, Microsoft IIS Smooth Streaming and Adobe HTTP Dynamic Streaming. Otherwise, 3xScreen uses Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder running on Intel Quad Core i7 computers for adaptive multi-bitrate live streaming in Flash, transcoding in the cloud using Wowsa Media Server.
3xScreen is experienced in the integration of all of the most popular Online Video Platforms (OVPs). Depending on the specific customer requirements, we regularly utilise Ooyala, Brightcove, Kaltura and Livestream – the four leading platforms OVPs for live and ondemand streaming.
Our customers expect live and ondemand online video delivered by 3xScreen to play with exceptional quality and streaming performance anywhere in the world. To accomplish this, we use a combination of the three global leaders for CDN content delivery – Akamai, Limelight and Amazon Web Services Cloudfront.
3xScreen is proud of our innovative approach to online video. We achieve this through our own developments and by leveraging solutions from other leading companies, including:
LiveU is a pioneer in portable video-over-cellular backpack solutions. 3xScreen’s HD Livepack service leverages LiveU portable uplink solution.
To interface our all-HD-SDI workflow with the rest of the world we mostly use Blackmagic Design cards, converters, embedders, monitors and other devices.
We use Axis Communications HD Pan-Tilt-Zoom and other Axis HD cameras for non-traditional broadcast sources and for streaming H.264-encoded HD direct to the internet.
