Haivision has launched its Media Gateway on Microsoft Azure, giving broadcasters an alternative solution to satellite and MPLS networks for transporting video for live events.


The move also supports broadcast backhaul and distribution, using the cloud to scale live video workflows with what is claimed minimal IT intervention.

Powered by Haivision's video transport technology, SRT, the Haivision Media Gateway enables customers to use public Internet connections to transport secure, live, HD video to and from multiple locations around the world. The Haivision Media Gateway with SRT also features different options to easily manage firewall traversal.

Users can also distribute live events from remote sites like hotels and satellite offices, and use the gateway as a video network bridge to transport video between studio environments.

"Cloud-based video workflows are revolutionising the potential of live video within the enterprise and broadcast markets," said Peter Maag, Haivision CMO. "These industries are becoming very comfortable with the simple provisioning of cloud resources in contrast to the complexity of contracting satellite or custom networks."

The Haivision Media Gateway is marketed under the tagline of 'more content, less cost' and is designed to allow broadcasters to aggregate and replicate live, HD streams concurrently to and from remote locations, over any network and most importantly securely.
