Efficient tools to build your streaming infrastructure

Nimble Streamer SDI Support

Nimble Streamer has support for SDI protocol input and we’re working on SDI writing capabilities.

SDI input into Nimble Streamer

Nimble Streamer takes SDI input and handles it for further processing.

  • Get SDI from a connected device.
  • Decode and transform the stream with Live Transcoder filters: re-sizing, re-sampling etc.
  • Encode content into H.264/AVC, H.265/HEVC, VP8, VP9 with supported encoding libraries.
  • Re-package into other protocols for further delivery, like SRT, RTMP, WebRTC WHEP, HLS, DASH, Icecast etc.
  • Record and play via DVR feature set with HLS and MPEG-DASH.

SDI output from Nimble Streamer

Nimble Streamer can take any live stream input and create output SDI stream.

  • Take any content input via supported protocols like SRT, WebRTC, RIST, RTMP, MPEG-TS etc.
  • Synchronize output SDI with NTP SEI metadata.
  • Use Server Playlist to generate SDI from a set of local files.
  • Transcode and send the content via SDI into local network.

Example: having SRT stream from external public network, Nimble Streamer can re-package it into SDI for further production purposes.
