Cloud Contribution

Easily bring guests and contributors into your broadcast workflow without the need for complicated scalers and converters. Clean, discrete video and audio from guests, HD-SDI signals up to 1080p, IFB comms as AES67, seamlessly integrates with BitFire Engines.

Cloud Comms

Designed like a traditional matrix intercom system, featuring PLs, IFBs with All-Call, and Latch / Non-Latch functionality, every cloud-based comms channel can be simultaneously accessed from your browser using FireBridge and/or as AES67 on BitFire Engines.

BitFire Media Platform Multiviewer

Cloud Multiviewer

Full resolution multiviewer, complete with custom labeling, configurable audio meters, and video format indicators in configurations up to a 36-box.
Book it to an Engine for use in a production environment, or to FireBridge to monitor your production from anywhere.

The Next-Generation Media Ecosystem

BitFire's advanced media ecosystem lets you ingest video and audio to our IP-based Transport Network from anywhere in the world. With multiple transit nodes, each transmission hop allows shorter recovery times to recover lost packets, with ultra-low latency, to ensure that every feed is always in sync, and available in multiple locations, to our Cloud Multiviewer, Cloud Recorder, Cloud Switcher, and our FireBridge Monitor.

BitFire Transport Protocol

Highly resilient UDP data transport over the public Internet requires special care to ensure every packet reaches its destination.

The BitFire Transport Protocol utilizes multi-hop
recovery methods and real-time routing decisions to provide the highest possible resiliency for every single feed.

BitFire Transport Network delivers Ultra-low latency

Ultra Low Latency

Glass-to-glass latency under a half-second. It's wicked fast, but more importantly, it's deterministic and configurable to suit your needs and priorities.

BitFire Transport Network keeps your broadcast feeds in sync

Intrinsically Synchronized

Every feed in sync. Always.
Our network utilizes a global clock to ensure that all of your feeds are perfectly synchronized, with deterministic end-to-end latency.

BitFire Transport Network recovers feeds in shorter hops

Multi-Hop Recovery

Instead of one long journey across the internet, the BitFire Transport Network leverages many shorter hops on the way to your destinations. This shortens the time it takes to recover packets that might get lost along the way, keeping overall latency down while providing unmatched reliability.

BitFire Transport Network operates on a global scale

Global Network

Our global-scale, distributed transport network has points of presence in every major region, so entry and exit points are close to you and your show.

Single Source, Unlimited Destinations

Reduce the stress on your hardware, local network, and internet connection. Once a feed enters the network once, it's available everywhere. Let the BitFire Network do the heavy lifting by creating unlimited copies to send to unlimited destinations.
