For All-in-one IP Video work flow solutions

pixfix server

PIXFIX™ Versa-D the All-in-one Software defined video processor can effectively Encode, Transcode, Decode, Store, Stream, Multiplex, Mix, Play, participate as Video Conferencing Node, File transfer etc., The highly Versatile and ultra-flexible product fits and morphs in to required IP work flow dynamically. Embedded with RiverSilica’s PIXABIT™, PIXMAX™ and Vinify technologies based on state of the art video algorithms, the product delivers both broadcast and OTT solutions along with Video Conferencing participation under the same hood.

Capable of taking multiple inputs and multiple formats – Versa-D delivers simultaneous processing of video assets across Live and File, archives, streams and does Video Conferencing participation as an all-in-one solution. The single pipeline feature offers the customer an end to end solution for integrated IP work flow. It is flexible enough to configure for an intended work flow today and to adapt to another workflow later- Versa adapts as you wish. With PIXFIX™ Versa-D, you are sure to be on the right path of fastest ROI and lowest TCO.
