Cambria stream solo
On-Premise Live Encoding
Capella Systems has launched Cambria Stream Solo, a software-based, on-prem live encoding solution for broadcasters, production companies, and service providers operating fixed or semi-permanent live channels.
Stream Solo addresses a clear market need: many customers require professional live encoding on-prem, without relying on proprietary hardware or moving all workflows to the cloud.
What Stream Solo Delivers
Stream Solo provides professional live encoding in a flexible, software-based model:
- Runs on Linux across a wide range of hardware platforms
- Replaces dedicated appliance-based encoders
- Keeps encoding close to the signal source and under customer control
- Fits naturally into existing broadcast and media infrastructure
