APT SureStream

APT SureStream

APT SureStream is the most widely used and established technology for robust, low-cost, and low-latency audio/video transport over IP. This innovation enables broadcasters to deliver high professional broadcast-grade audio/video quality comparable to a T1/E1 link, but at a fraction of the cost.

APT SureStream Technology also offers the added benefit of “Always-On Redundancy,” allowing you to save thousands on your audio transport bills while still providing listeners with the highest quality sound.

Introducing SureStream

Affordable, Always-On Redundancy

SureStream Benefits

• Save Money: Replace synchronous or managed IP links and expensive satellite uplink services with the public Internet. DSL services typically cost 5-10% of dedicated connections, leading to significant savings that can pay off your investment within months.
• Deliver High-Quality Content: Maintain consistently high-quality transmissions without dropouts and jitter. SureStream ensures your content remains flawless despite cost savings.
• Keep Delay Consistent: Maintain consistent signal delay for professional content delivery. This is particularly useful for remote broadcasts and local content insertion.
• Relax!: SureStream offers uptime and reliability equivalent to a “five nines” Telco service. You are protected from drop-outs, glitches, and complete loss of connection.

How Does It Work?

SureStream enables significant cost savings by using affordable public internet links rather than expensive MPLS or Satellite links. It ensures flawless audio and video quality and reliable distribution through “Always-On Redundancy.”

“Always-On Redundancy” Explained: SureStream is based on Redundant Streaming technology but goes beyond just duplicate streams. It employs proprietary techniques to optimize the delivery of all streams throughout the network and an advanced resequencing engine that produces one perfectly seamless, reconstructed stream from multiple received streams. Instead of transmitting one copy of the data (audio/video) between the encoder and the receiver, SureStream sends multiple copies across different paths, ensuring resilience and optimal quality of the reconstructed stream.

Perfect content delivery from an imperfect network!

Virtual SureStream

For broadcasters using another codec but wishing to benefit from the cost savings and reliability of SureStream technology, Virtual SureStreamer is the perfect solution. Available as a single appliance installed on WorldCast industrial Linux, or as a multi-node architecture including WorldCast High Availability, Virtual SureStreamer can be deployed as a multicast or multiple unicast node. It significantly reduces Telco costs by migrating the stream replication function closer to the decoding devices. With SureStreamVPN, you can produce your complete radio show live from anywhere, with full control over your media and advertising ingests from the studio.
