LiveEdge powers EdgeCaster, Videon’s Qualcomm technology-based video compute platform. The LiveEdge suite of functions enables users to rapidly build transformative live video experiences by working with pre-packaged modules, or by taking advantage of an easy-to-use developer kit to create their own custom and unique functions. LiveEdge launches with LiveEdge Streaming, a next-generation edge compute-powered streaming solution, and LiveEdge Compute, which enables developers to create custom functionality using Python or Docker.

For over a decade, video workflows have been based on an encoder providing RTMP (Real Time Messaging Protocol) streams to the cloud where they are re-encoded and re-packaged ahead of distribution to viewers. The on premise encoder has traditionally been isolated from the cloud, creating quality, reliability, and management problems. LiveEdge "revolutionizes" this legacy approach by connecting the cloud to the on premise environment and moving processing-intensive, time-laden, and costly cloud functions to the point of video creation.

LiveEdge and the EdgeCaster video compute platform enable broadcasters and content creators to create deeper audience engagement. The solution creates the functionality and flexibility needed to increase the number of cameras and feeds to meet growing demand for additional personalized content experiences at scale, unlocking new content monetization opportunities. Working closely with its partner ecosystem, Videon’s standards-based technology is integrated with industry-leading solutions including Akamai MSL4, AWS Mediastore, AWS IVS, and Fastly Origin Shield. With more than 7,000 devices deployed across 19 countries, Videon already powers thousands of hours of live streaming every day for major broadcasters, top sports leagues, and leading OEMs.
