We are regional leaders in building original production-quality digital video encoders and streamers. In Kenya, a major media company already uses our custom-made encoding and streaming products in 24/7 production environments. In addition, we will soon be releasing a live encoder ( TLive), a distributed encoder (TCoder) and a general-purpose streamer (TStreamer), all ready for use in the most demanding traditional media and Internet environments.
We build on the high quality FFmpeg/Libav & Gstreamer platforms and offer competent consulting, support & custom development services for those tool-kits, especially for embedded environment.
Customized products built by Toshnix Systems are already being used by a large media company (which features 1 TV and 5 radio stations). We have build for them a high quality, low-latency capable and High Definition (HD) capable live streamer that transfers a high quality TV signal between its studios and the main transmitter over IP (Internet Protocol). This software encoder is called TLive and will soon be available for off-the-shelf purchase, at a fraction of the price of other professional-grade encoding hardware, even when the encoding server (a normal computing server) and the capture card(s) is taken into account. We have also built high quality custom video processors for on-demand videos and studio automation software. Such a fast, quality and scalable video processing and encoding product will soon be available in our TCoder product.
We offer advanced support and custom-development for the powerful OSS FFmpeg, Libav and GStreamer digital media tool-kits. Our wide experience in these platforms has come out of our work in making custom encoding and streaming applications for demanding media house environments. In addition, we have detailed expertise in customizing, extending and integrating the Live555 RTP & RTSP framework. Contact us to help you scale your Live555 based application in performance, or add support for additional container formats such as MP4 to it.
TLive is a production quality live encoder and streamer that we will be releasing soon. It is already in production use at a large media company. TLive runs continuously and easily meets the 24/7 demands of the media station. It is capable of delivering a UDP/IP A/V stream with a latency of less than 200ms. TLive employs the worlds highest quality H.264 encoder. TLive can capture from professional A/V cards such as the Blackmagic DeckLink cards. TLive will support several Blackmagic cards capturing different streams on the same server. It is a software encoder that will run on commodity server hardware. We have priced TLive to so that it will be considerably cheaper than hardware encoders even when the prices of the server and capture cards are taken into account. For more about TLive, please see its page.
Also coming up are a powerful and easily scalable off-line encoder TCoder and a high-throughput and scalable generic streamer TStreamer.
