LIVE VIDEO CONTROL PLANE

Callaba: live video control plane for critical broadcast workflows

Callaba gives production and engineering teams operational control over ingest, monitoring, failover, routing, recording, and automation, whether it runs in the cloud, on AWS, or self-hosted.

Run the live event workflow in the cloud, launch from AWS Marketplace, or move the same model into self-hosted and private cloud environments.

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 contribution to recovery, distribution, archive, 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.

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.

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.

MISSION-CRITICAL LIVE WORKFLOWS

Start where operational control is missing

Most teams do not need another isolated video tool. They need the weak link in the live event path to become controllable.

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.
