DubMaster® enables you to ingest, segment, encode, and play SD, HD, and UHD video content, broadcasting it in multiple formats over IP and/or SDI.

Automation features, including real-time capture planning with “Set & Go,” support crash recording and batch recording, and provide instant status checks for your servers and recordings.

Specifically designed for TV channels and production sites, DubMaster® integrates seamlessly with existing master control room solutions and manages various broadcasting tasks: capture and playout, TimeDelay, editing, and manual or automatic assembly of programs from your AsRuns (with automatic generation and transfers to telecommunication operators or websites).

It also supports the automatic generation and streaming of lower-resolution copies using DASH technology to create automatic proxy files.

With its parallel multi-encoding and multi-transcoding technologies, DubMaster® perfectly fits into your workflow. DubMaster® is designed for broadcast firms looking to overcome traditional constraints.
