The modular media system for all your media needs

The Xeatre media system adapts to your requirements. Due to the modular design, the scope of functions can be adapted and expanded to your needs at any time. Should specific solutions be required, we will create the appropriate module, tailored to your needs.

Xeatre base

xeatre.base

xeatre.base is the entry point for using the xeatre media system. This module combines all your applications and media in one central web application. Cloud-based, it is location-independent and can be operated by teams worldwide.

Location and format independent signal feeding of any audio, video sources, set-top boxes, receivers or stream into your media system. For instance, SAT, Cable, SDI, HDMI, Analog, RTMP, SRT, M3U8 streams, and many more.

Real-time conversion into a uniform, streamable h.265/h.265 format with up to 4K resolution and adjustable bitrate so that all sources can be accessed, edited or streamed consistently on the web in near-real time (1-second delay).

All incoming signals can be recorded live and immediately made available as a recording (DVR). This allows a rewind from the live moment of up to 30 hours into the past. A loop recording module is available for endless 24x7 capturing.

Using our media playout capabilities, any signal or stream can be forwarded to other destinations (e.g. a CDN, third-party tools, etc.) without delay.

Schedule recordings using manual timers, weekday timers, auto timers or 24x7 loop recording. Video assets and metadata can be further processed, exported or stored in your long-term archive anytime.

Categorize footage into playlists by tagging or highlighting, editing metadata and attaching notes to discover what you need when you need it quickly.

xeatre.ingest

With xeatre.ingest, you can feed any analogue or digital signal into Xeatre via broadcast or as a stream. Our hardware encoders ensure that these signals are streamed in a consistent, streamable format, are recorded and are ready to be processed and shared.

Any audiovisual signal can be fed into the xeatre media system for real-time processing, regardless of location. This includes DVB-S/S2/C/T, SDI, HDMI interfaces and many more, as well as all types of live and web streams and camera systems. 

The ingest module can also be used to digitise analogue sources. Our hardware encoders, which can also be set up on site, are no larger than a paperback book.

Existing hardware such as set-top boxes, receivers or similar can be connected directly to our hardware encoders. Automatic infrared switching to a specific channel at the start of the timer is possible, as well as full remote maintenance.

You can feed streams from cameras or the Internet directly into your system without using our hardware. A suitable transcoder can also be connected upstream if this is required.

xeatre.import

xeatre.importer makes it easy to import your existing media files. Whether your files are stored on a computer, FTP, MAM system, cloud, and more. Add content from other platforms like social media, YouTube, Twitter, media libraries and more via URLs.

Use all common media exchange protocols including HTTP upload, FTP, webdav, bucket connection and more. Import content from various social media platforms including YouTube, Twitter, media library and others.

Apply all the power of Xeatre to your own content. You can use our AI analysis wizards to automatically transcribe existing media (speech to text) or use one of our hot folder workflows for import.

Import any media into the Xeatre system automatically using our Import API. Xeatre connects you to a wide range of platforms such as YouTube, media libraries, Twitter and many more from which content can be imported into our system.

You can use the import function to process and permanently archive existing media libraries and files. To find what you need, categorise your assets with tags or keywords.

icons8-aufzeichnen-100-2.png

xeatre.record

With xeatre.record, every input signal is permanently recorded. Metadata remains fully available throughout. Incoming signals can be scheduled for recording and metadata pre-described. Each resulting video is fully editable through a web browser.

All signals are recorded in a streamable MP4 (h.264/h.265) video format. Live editing of the video, such as setting cue points or making video edits, can be done while recording is in progress.

A timer can be set to record any signal on a scheduled basis. Recurring programmes, such as TV/radio shows, can be automatically recorded using repeating timers. This saves time when planning programmes.

The recording format can vary depending on the signal source. Standardised VoD files based on your specifications can be produced at any time.

In combination with our xeatre.hotfolder module, recordings can be passed directly to another process. For example, recordings can be transferred directly into your existing MAM system or automatically be pre-analysed using computer vision.

xeatre.looprecord

xeatre.looprecordings offers 24x7 long-term recording of your sources over several months or years. This allows you to access requested or important content at a later date, and to analyse past content without having to know in advance that it will be relevant.

xeatre.looprecordings offers 24x7 long term recording and playback of all ingest sources. Long-term recordings are stored in one-hour chunks that seamlessly connect to each other.

Highlight key scenes and export them to your archive as individual clips with timestamps and metadata.

Extract or combine multiple segments of a long-term recording to create a new, fully editable video asset.

Research content from the past. You can instantly access content from several months or years ago using the web interface.

icons8-zeit-hinzufügen-100.png

xeatre.autotimer

Use the xeatre.autotimer module to automate the scheduling of recordings using metadata. This can be EPG data, for example, or any other kind of information. In this way, you will never miss a programme again.

Autotimers allow automatic recording based on keywords in the metadata, such as "news" or "places". Recording can also be triggered by the mention of places or people.

Automatic timers send notifications of new recordings through various communication channels. For example, notify users or departments by email or instant messaging when new footage is posted.

Timers can be limited to channels or broadcast times. For example, recordings for "News" can be limited to programmes that air between 20:00 and 22:00.

With a single timer, entire genres can be recorded. The keyword "stock exchange" in combination with selected channels can include all relevant trading information, for example.

icons8-geschwindigkeit-100.png

xeatre.realtime

To minimise video delays, xeatre.realtime supports ultra-low latency transmission protocols. The latency is approximately 1 second.

Stream live content synchronously with minimal latency to users around the world. Videos can be viewed on all major devices without any additional software or plugin. Broadcast in the highest possible quality to any number of viewers.

Ensure that all your users and subscribers have the same information at the same time. Provide a level playing field, e.g. for sports betting and auctions, and improve the user experience by providing simultaneous information.

Monitor a situation, an object or a person without delay, for immediate intervention and interaction. Receive video streams from any system - such as drones, body cameras and surveillance systems - around the world.

Remotely control machines and processes with video in real-time. Integrated metadata also gives you essential feedback in the form of information and time stamps.

icons8-vergangenheit-100.png

xeatre.timeshift

For live streams, xeatre.timeshift allows you to go back in time (DVR) during live playback to catch up on a missed programme. With xeatre.timeshift, you can even cut or edit content directly. Up to 30 hours back in time. 

Any live feed can be automatically timeshifted for up to 30 hours. This allows you to jump back to the beginning of an event at any time.

For time shifting over 30 hours, use the xeatre.looprecoding module. With this module it is possible to realise endless 24x7 recordings.

Time shifting offers all functions that are available to a video-on-demand asset, including cue points, editing, exporting and more.

Highlight events in live streams as they happen with xeatre.realtime and analyse the corresponding scenes directly, gap-free and in detail. In timeshift recording, you can view frame-by-frame, fast-forward, rewind, pause and more.

icons8-künstliche-intelligenz-100.png

xeatre.analyse

With our xeatre.analyse module, you can automatically analyse your content according to specific criteria in real time or retrospectively from recordings. Our AI-based content analysis incorporates the latest computer vision features for content recognition and delivers all the relevant context for you.

Capture, process and analyse event streams in real time and make business decisions based on high-quality, timely information.

xeatre.metadata

With xeatre.metadata you can enrich live streams and recordings by embedding metadata, additional information and any files and make them available to your users and customers. Catalogue, search and find content in your media archive using all stored information.

Metadata is embedded in video streams and recordings and can be transported and delivered with them. The information is immediately available in the browser or environment and can be easily shared with users and processes.

With the help of specially adapted and robust APIs, you can work with your video metadata information and integrate it into your applications and processes without a great deal of effort and development.

Metadata, detailed information and any files can be captured with xeatre.analyse online, regardless of location and with frame accuracy. Third-party data is automatically retrieved and stored at the appropriate points in the video.

All captured metadata and information is available in a powerful database. Comprehensive research and quick retrieval of content allow you and your customers to work efficiently in large archives.

icons8-geo-fence-100.png

xeatre.cuepoint

xeatre.cuepoint helps you mark or extract key scenes in live broadcasts or VoD assets. Create your cue points or let our AI analysis assistant automatically detect, mark and filter important content. So you can focus on what's important.

Mark key scenes in live streams or generated VoD assets. Use in/out markers to highlight and tag entire sections or short scenes. These can be shared with the team or used in workflows for further processing.

Assets with existing cuepoints are permanently stored in the long-term archive, so the original asset is always available for further processing. You can also manually move cuepoints to the archive and delete the original asset.

Manually add cue points to a playlist or automatically group them into a collection using tags or colour labels. This way, similar cue points are available in a large collection, making further analysis much easier.

Cuepoints always contain the original time stamp at the time of transmission. This means that you can always prove the exact date and time, for example, for legal proceedings. Broadcast information such as channel, origin and metadata also remains permanently available.

icons8-video-playlist-100.png

xeatre.playlist

Combine all relevant content such as recordings, individual cue points or edits into a playlist. Playlists can be tagged with metadata and are fully searchable.

Organise your content into playlists to manage all relevant content in one place.

Expanding playlists are automatically populated with new content based on your criteria. In this way, the system categorises important content for you ahead of time.

Create a compilation of all the contents of a playlist in one file that can be downloaded and shared.

Playlists can also be used as a collection point to selectively collect and further process current topical issues and content.
