Gloobox Capturer

Ingest feeds from IP, SDI or stream to one or more destinations with growing files available to edit or forward in seconds.

Capturerbenefits

Gloobox Capturer takes your inputs and turns them into whatever you need them to be:

In multiple destinations
In different formats, wrappers or codecs
In different frame rates, scan types and rasters
In databases, correctly registered
In relinkable and intelligently managed formats
With monitoring and playback

All at the same time.

Benefits

It just works

Get your assets in front of editors faster: output as almost any common file type seconds behind real time

Uncomplicate production reality

Need to feed 3 different systems different formats in different wrappers from one source? No problem.

No questions asked

Workflow-based operation keeps things powerful for administrators and very simple for operators - no matter how advanced your requirements.

Avoid workflow lock-in

Glookast respects no master but the customer - our unique approach to platform design, combined with our powerful API and format agnosticism mean you are given the freedom to grow, mixing input types as you need and operating them all from the same interface.

Total control

Choose and use the right interface for the job - simple planned ingest with Scheduler and powerful event control with LiveOps. Assign channels across them with total flexibility.

Scale

Add power, nodes or specialist capabilities when you need them - add redundancy at whatever level you choose.
