LIVE VIDEO CONTROL PLANE

Control live video workflows from ingest to recovery, routing, recording, and delivery.

Callaba gives broadcast, OTT, AV, and production teams one control plane for mission-critical live events, whether it runs in the cloud, on AWS, or self-hosted.

Monitor contribution, recover from failure, route outputs, record assets, and automate repeatable work around the live workflow.

WHY NOW

Live video moved from one room to distributed operations.

Contribution can come from venues, encoders, cloud apps, remote teams, and partners. Operators need one shared surface to monitor feeds, recover from failure, route outputs, record assets, and automate repeatable work.

Category roleThat is the role of Callaba: the control plane for distributed live video operations.
Signal path

Contribution is everywhere

Venues, encoders, cloud apps, remote crews, and partners all become part of the same live workflow.

Recovery

Failure handling is operational

Teams need backup paths, file fallback, route state, and playback proof before viewers notice trouble.

Automation

APIs need operator context

Automation should extend the live workflow instead of creating another isolated tool around it.

WORKFLOW CONTROL PLANE

The live event path, controlled as one workflow

Callaba is not a bag of video features. It is infrastructure for the operational path from ingest to recovery, routing, recording, delivery, and automation.

01

Ingest

Bring SRT contribution feeds into a stable cloud entry point for venues, encoders, OBS seats, or remote production teams.

02

Monitor

Use browser multiview, live stream stats, and playback proof before trouble reaches viewers.

03

Recover

Switch between main, backup, and prepared file fallback paths when live contribution becomes unstable.

04

Route

Send the same controlled source toward SRT, RTMP, browser playback, NDI workflows, or downstream production tools.

05

Record

Capture live assets and move them toward archive or VOD workflows without creating a separate operations stack.

06

Automate

Use the API to build internal panels, event provisioning, monitoring workflows, and repeatable launch routines.

NEW IN CALLABA 8.4

Multiview + failover. Now in your browser.

Callaba 8.4 turns monitoring and recovery into an operator workflow: browser-based SRT multiview, route state, manual or automatic failover, and file fallback when live contribution breaks.

Live demo availableOpen a real Multiview board with live SRT feeds and failover context.Watch the browser demo
Multiview

Monitor SRT sources from the browser

Place live inputs on a tile board, inspect stream metadata, monitor audio, and share the same board with remote operators.

Failover

Keep main, backup, and fallback visible

Use manual or automatic failover logic with route visibility from the same monitoring workflow.

Fallback file

Avoid dead air when live contribution breaks

Move to a prepared cloud file when the main stream fails and a backup feed is not available.

CUSTOMER PROOF

Operational control shows up in cost, reach, and launch speed

The strongest proof is not that one feature worked. It is that the live workflow became easier to operate end to end.

Reviewed on Dec 14, 2025Corporate events, webinars, monetization, and global live distribution

We automated our live events and cut infrastructure costs by 30-40%.

Latency dropped, reach grew 22%, and productivity jumped 33% once playback, recording, distribution, and monitoring lived in one system.

Good embed SRT player

We use Callaba web player to monitor SRT streams we send from the field to the studio. So far so good and it is cool that they allow us to remove the branding.

Callaba review from a solution architect

I can watch my SRT streams in the browser with an unlimited number of viewers. It also helped us when we needed a simple viewer-facing playback surface.

OPERATORS AND ENGINEERS

One control plane, two ways to run it

The live show needs hands-on control. The platform around it needs automation. Callaba gives both teams the same workflow boundaries.

For live operators

Run the event without juggling tools

Callaba gives production teams one place to watch contribution health, confirm playback, switch recovery paths, and route outputs during live events.

See live operations
For developers

Automate what should not be manual

Engineering teams can extend the same ingest, routing, recording, playback, and storage model over API for internal panels and event automation.

Same workflow model as UIFits internal tools and panelsAPI examples for repeatable control
Read API docs

Operate live in the UI. Automate the repeatable parts over API. Keep one workflow model.

BUILT FOR TEAMS THAT CANNOT LOSE THE LIVE PATH

Built for the teams that run expensive live moments

Callaba is shaped around teams where failure, delay, or manual stitching gets expensive fast.

Sports and live events

Keep the program path recoverable

Monitor field feeds, switch backup paths, record the program, and route outputs to partners.

Broadcast and OTT teams

Control contribution through delivery

Manage contribution, playback proof, archive, API automation, and private deployment from one model.

AV integrators

Deploy repeatable workflows for clients

Launch live video workflows again and again without rebuilding the stack for every project.

Engineering teams

Build panels around the same control plane

Use API-first control for provisioning, routing, recording, storage, monitoring, and internal tools.

MISSION-CRITICAL LIVE WORKFLOWS

Start with the workflow pressure point

Once the live operation is distributed, the weak link is rarely one codec or one server. It is the handoff between monitoring, recovery, routing, recording, delivery, and automation.

Contribution monitoring

Monitor SRT feeds in a browser

Give operators and remote stakeholders a shared view of contribution feeds, playback proof, and stream health.

Cloud routing

One source -> many outputs

Keep one contribution boundary, then route to social platforms, partners, and backup outputs.

Production handoff

Bridge SRT into NDI and studio workflows

Move remote contribution into operator-led production with SRT ingest, NDI handoff, and runtime monitoring together.

Archive and storage

Record without a second operations stack

Capture streams and move assets toward S3, archive, replay, or VOD workflows from the same control plane.
