International Broadcast
Solutions from Stream Labs
Stream Labs is an international professional broadcast solutions development and
manufacturing company, with ofﬁces in the USA, Latvia, Taiwan, and Russia...

S

tream Labs' satellite and cable
television line of products expands
broadcast automation, on-air graphic
design, ITV establishment, and
monitoring and control opportunities
for its customers.
The company employs a creative,
responsible staff, and its 23 year
scientiﬁc and engineering thought
achievements turn to its developments
professionalism. Stream Labs uses
proven and innovative engineering and
design solutions, and the most modern
production techniques.
The company evolves together
with its customers. Participating
in key exhibitions and trade shows
worldwide, Stream Labs is aware of
current issues and tasks faced by
clients. It tries to anticipate these
needs and requirements, continuously
improving the quality of its solutions.
The approach with which Stream Labs
is conﬁdently moving towards success
involves partnership with customers
and providing high level assistance to
them in addressing the challenges they
face.
Stream Labs has supplied over
6500 TV stations in 152 countries with
Multiviewers (monitoring solutions for
IPTV, OTT, etc.), Multi-Ingest and TV
automations systems, OEM I/O and
Muti-input cards.
Stream Labs' main products include
MultiScreen and MultiRec. These
systems are intended for simultaneous
visual and instrumental monitoring,
and recording of multiple TV- and
radio channels in real-time, using one
or several LCD panels in multi-image
mode.
Having been based on successful
combination of versatile features

including multi-channel (unlimited
number of sources) and multi-format
(HD/SD-SDI, IP, DVB-ASI, Composite
combined in one server) abilities
with high-level reliability, the Stream
MultiScreen 5.0 system has been
implemented in the projects of the
largest satellite and cable operators,
TV channels, and OTT operators.
The system provides audio and
visual alarms, saves the events history,
records events in the database MS
SQL, and sends e-mail notiﬁcations
and SNMP, if necessary.
MultiScreen system utilises clientserver technology, meaning that
all settings and events are stored
on a server, and are accessible to
remote users, via convenient client
interface, which allows users to work
simultaneously, with any number of
multi-format servers, accumulating all
data in a shared database.
Screen Coder, MultiScreen's picture
encoding module, can encode video,
displayed on the screen of monitoring
system and SDI/Composite sources.
All layout visualisation is encrypted
as it appears, including video windows,
audio indicators, reports with alarm
events, and text plates.
Screen Coder module is designed
to ease the operator's work load,
when MultiScreen server is located
in another city, or when the control
room with operators is distant from
the equipment room. Moreover,
any personnel with granted access
to the network, where MultiScreen
broadcasts, can receive its TS and
a view of what is currently being
broadcasted on-air, via satellite, or on
cable network.
The free of charge client application,

Master control room with Stream MultiScreen software installed

MultiMonitor, provides an interface for
work with the MultiScreen database,
and allows controlling the state of
all parameters for all deployed
MultiScreen servers. In some
particular
conﬁgurations
MultiMonitor also allows
d y n a m i c
alteration
of the set of
channels,
which are visually
monitored on LCD panels.
This unique functionality
solves the problem of monitoring
large numbers of channels, with
minimal effort. While operating in
conﬁguration mode, client software
MultiMonitor enables users to control
all available signal sources at remote
MultiScreen servers, cards' inputs,
and IP interfaces, including actual
PAT, PMT, and SDT tables. Using a
special set of parameters built-in, the
editor can create a new conﬁguration
for displaying selected channels, in a
matter of a couple of clicks.
The system saves events in Microsoft
SQL Database and distributes e-mail
notiﬁcations, if necessary.
VPlay, playout software for SD
and HD, with simple graphics design
abilities, supports all common types
of input AV-signals and transport
streams,
and
all
widespread
compression types and containers of
media data.
For large, medium, and small
broadcasting
companies,
the
production
process
automation
system supports all the stages of
operation, from the content ingest;
description and preparation; creation
of preliminary lineups and daily

broadcasting schedules; registration
of commercials and arrangement
of commercial blocks; broadcast
preparation and automation, to the
control and analysis of broadcasting
results.
MultiEncoder is a highly efﬁcient
server for encoding AV signals, in realtime, from HD/SD-SDI and composite
to IP TS, and it is intended for use
when solving a range of tasks.
Flexible
and
cost
effective,
MultiEncoder does not depend on a
hardware platform. It may be used on
servers from different vendors, with
conﬁgurations suitable for differing
tasks.
Multi-ingest input cards work with
3G, HD/SD-SDI, ASI and composite
signals at the same time. The cards
can be used as a basis for creating
multichannel
studio
recording
and slow motion replay systems;
monitoring
and
TV
broadcast
recording systems (TV compliance
recording);
multichannel
visual
TV broadcast monitoring systems
(multiviewers);
rear-projection
systems; and multi-camera virtual
studios, etc.
In/Out CG Cards working with HD/
SD-SDI, ASI, and composite signals,
provide a basis for creation of
on-air graphic design systems (CGsystems) and broadcasting video
servers. Incorporating state of the
art technologies and cutting-edge
achievements from the world of
microelectronics in Stream Labs'
cards, makes them popular in both
local and international markets.
