Livelink Studio offers an on-demand cloud production environment with frame-accurate switching, native audio mixing, data-driven graphics and full orchestration
Cerberus Tech has unveiled Livelink Studio, an integrated cloud production and master control environment.
The company says Livelink Studio enables broadcasters, rights holders, and production companies to bring more live events to more audiences and markets.
The flexible system makes it possible to tailor world feeds for international markets, apply data-driven graphics in multiple languages, launch event-based channels, stand up disaster-recovery playout and cloud overflow for existing facilities, and elevate everyday productions without adding complexity.
Livelink Studio provides control surfaces for broadcast-quality production engines with frame-accurate switching, audio-video synchronisation, low latency, uncompressed transport, and built-in scalability and redundancy.
Broadcasters can use Livelink Studio to launch a complete production on demand, shut it down cleanly when the show ends, and rapidly re-launch that same production for subsequent live events.
Switching, audio, and graphics are handled natively within Livelink Studio control surfaces. Live programme and preview monitoring come with cut, auto, mix, dip, and wipe transition controls; audio includes native mixing, per-channel fader control, VU metering, full digital signal processing, and lip-sync adjustment; and graphics support overlays, lower thirds, tickers, and downstream keying, with automation that can pull live data feeds directly into on-air graphics.
These tools can be run by one operator from a single screen or split across team members — working remotely or on site — with dedicated views and controls for different roles. Full API control and support for external panels enable operators to work the way they prefer.
Livelink Studio can run as a stand-alone module or alongside contribution and distribution as a seamless part of a broader Livelink implementation. Sources can come in directly through Livelink, and programme output can flow back into Livelink for transport, repackaging, scheduling, and distribution to every taker.
“Extending proven provisioning, orchestration, and automation into the realm of live production, Livelink Studio makes reliable, broadcast-grade production practical for all the sports, events, and channels that don’t need a flagship-scale system,” says Chris Clarke, CRO and co-founder at Cerberus Tech. “Provisioning builds each production the same way every time, with template-based configuration improving both accuracy and time to air. Orchestration ties together all the systems behind a live production so they work as one. And automation does the heavy lifting in the background. The result: Broadcasters can do more with less.”
“Cerberus Tech has brought together the production tools, orchestration, and operator controls that broadcasters need to make on-demand live production practical,” said Daniel Robinson, product manager at Matrox Video. “We’re pleased that Matrox ORIGIN provides the media processing foundation for Livelink Studio, supporting Cerberus Tech’s vision of production resources that can scale with each event.”
