Tachyon LIVE is integrated into Cinnafilm’s new live IP transcode engine, IPx LIVE which supports industry-standard IP video protocols like SMPTE 2110, TR-07, SRT, and NDI. It seamlessly integrates into existing live workflows, accepting diverse input streams and delivering converted outputs to multiple destinations with minimal latency.
This innovative technology enables broadcasters to adapt live content to different global standards effortlessly, ensuring pristine playback across varying frame rates, resolutions, and formats.
