The AJA BRIDGE LIVE Multi-Channel Turnkey System For Live Video is a broadcast-quality, low-latency turnkey system ideal for Remote Production (REMI), Multi-Channel Video Contribution, Remote Collaboration, Direct to Audience Streaming and Multi Bit Rate/Format Delivery. The Turnkey System features a 12G-SDI I/O plus the power and flexibility to enable real-time bi-directional encoding, decoding, and transcoding for critical UHD and HD workflows, BRIDGE LIVE is an essential part of any modern live video production toolkit. A compact and robust 1RU form factor with redundant power supplies and a three-year warranty means peace of mind even when dealing with the most demanding applications.

Whether facilitating remote production, two-way interviews, live event streaming, multi-cam backhaul, field contribution, program return, confidence monitoring, collaborative production, ABR ladder profiles to hand-off for OTT packaging, BRIDGE LIVE ensures simultaneous, secure, and stable workflows whether over private lines or the public internet.

BRIDGE LIVE Features:

  • 12G-SDI/3G-SDI I/O supports 4-channels of HD or 1-channel of UltraHD as standard Bi-directional Encode/Decode/Transcode; NDI, H.265 (HEVC), H.264 (AVC, MPEG-4), H.262 (MPEG-2) and JPEG 2000 (TR-01)
  • Protocols; SRT, HLS, MPEG-TS, MPTS (input), RTMP/RTMPS (output), RTP, and UDP
  • Multi bit-rate/format content distribution, ABR Ladder Profiles for OTT hand-off
  • Selectable profiles for 10-bit and 8-bit, 4:2:2 and 4:2:0
  • Unmatched Metadata capabilities including Ad insertion markers (SCTE-35/SCTE-104), CC/Subtitles (EIA 608/708, Line 21, H.264 SEI), MPEG-2 ANC, SMPTE 2038
  • Remote WebUI or local GUI access for easy administration, control, and operation
  • Monitoring, Control, and Automation supported via REST API or SNMP
  • Turnkey 1RU rack-mountable, enterprise-class form factor
  • Dual 10GbE interface for control and transport
  • Dual power supplies for critical application redundancy

AJA and Comprimato
BRIDGE LIVE is the result of an exciting collaboration between AJA and Comprimato, two long-time industry leaders. Customers can anticipate the adaptability, speed, and quality needed for that competitive advantage thanks to the combination of AJA's hardware development and video I/O experience with Comprimato's transcoding and internet transport capabilities. AJA and Comprimato's combined corporate talent guarantees that BRIDGE LIVE offers the performance and dependability required for live NDI, H.265 (HEVC), H.264 (AVC, MPEG-4), H.262 (MPEG-2) and JPEG 2000* encode, decode, and transcode demands.

Bi-Directional Encoding and Decoding
BRIDGE LIVE supports simultaneous bi-directional encoding and decoding with HD and SD sources. With a pair of BRIDGE LIVE systems, a broadcast facility can receive three incoming encoded camera sources from a remote location and decode them into SDI for editing and production, while simultaneously providing a program return to the remote location.

Encode/Decode/Transcode using NDI
BRIDGE LIVE can handle up to four 60p HD encodes/decodes or one 60p UltraHD encode/decode to/from SDI at the same time. The NDI feature in BRIDGE LIVE provides SDI to NDI (encode), NDI to SDI (decode), IP Video Streams to NDI (transcode), and NDI to IP Video Streams (transcode).
