SPECTRA VM

Virtual Encoder

for Creative Apps on AWS

 

Empower your AWS Creative Apps with Full Resolution Reference Monitoring, latency under 70ms and the ability to conduct review or remote session with multiple collaborators anywhere the world. Spectra VM can run on the same EC2 Instance as the Creative App, so it will not incur additional AWS costs. Spectra VM accepts input from AWS SaaS apps in a variety of formats, including full API integration, OpenF/X and AWS CDI.

Connect via AWS CDI

Spectra VM connects with an Autodesk Flame instance (or any other CDI source) over CDI and provides two independent output streams – one back to the Flame Artist for a reference feed and one to Streambox Cloud services to support remote collaboration. A CDI output provides a connection to AWS MediaServices. Spectra VM supports up to 4:4:4 12-bit and 16-ch audio with less than 70ms latency.

Connect via API or Open F/X

Not every AWS SaaS app can output CDI. In that case, Spectra VM is capable of connecting via a native API – Avid Media Composer, Adobe Premier – or via OpenF/X in the case of Blackmagic DaVinci. To round things out, it will accept NDI 5 as well. Finally, Spectra VM can connect to AWS MediaLive and MediaConnect over AWS CDI.
