Description
Castreon is a self-hosted live television headend software designed to operate on Linux servers, which can be managed via a web-based interface. It is capable of processing feeds from various sources, including DVB-C/T/T2 cards, IP cameras, and network protocols like SRT, RIST, UDP, RTMP, HTTP, HLS, and DASH, featuring automatic failover for sources. Users have the option to transcode content using either CPU or GPU, supporting formats such as H.264, HEVC, or AV1, while also enabling the creation of adaptive-bitrate outputs for seamless channel delivery through HLS, LL-HLS, DASH, HTTP-TS, and WebRTC, or by redistributing to other servers and CDNs. Additionally, the software facilitates continuous streaming from media files, offers catch-up and timeshift functionalities, supports recording and clipping options, and provides features such as access control, audience analytics, monitoring, alert systems, and a REST API for integration. Optional enhancements include support for SCTE-35, signed multi-CDN links, and digital rights management (DRM) capabilities. Castreon is specifically tailored for deployment on the operator’s own Linux server, catering to a diverse range of clients, including broadcasters, cable and IPTV operators, OTT services, hotels, and internet service providers, thereby enhancing their live streaming capabilities and content management processes.
Description
PassCast is a customizable pay-per-view live streaming and ticketing solution aimed at sports organizations, educational institutions, religious groups, charities, and community event coordinators who seek to generate revenue from their live events while maintaining their unique brand identity.
Each organization is provided with a fully branded streaming channel that operates on a personalized domain, complete with their logo, color scheme, and integration with their Stripe account, ensuring that viewers are only exposed to the organization’s branding during the entire experience. This means that purchasing tickets and viewing content occurs seamlessly within the organization’s own digital environment, devoid of any PassCast branding.
The platform efficiently manages the entire process, from creating events to granting viewers access. Organizers can set up an event, determine ticket prices, and obtain RTMP streaming credentials in a straightforward manner. They can then stream their content using OBS Studio or any encoder compatible with RTMP. Viewers can easily purchase tickets through the Stripe checkout, log in with a one-time passcode, and enjoy the live broadcast. Once the event concludes, the stream is automatically transformed into an on-demand replay, available for viewers to access for a 72-hour period, allowing for further monetization opportunities after the live event has ended. This comprehensive approach not only simplifies the streaming process but also enhances the overall experience for both the organizers and their audience.
