Velocix Origin

Velocix Origin

Cloud-native. Always on.

Velocix Origin packages, records, and stores live, VOD, and time-shifted video on one cloud-native platform, built for operators who cannot afford downtime.

Flexible at scale

Velocix Origin packages, records, and stores live, VOD, and time-shifted video on one modular cloud-native platform. The same software runs on private cloud, public cloud, and on-prem hardware, with frame-accurate multi-site failover and active-active or active-standby geo-redundancy built in.

Software-defined object storage scales to exabyte capacity on commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) servers, with popularity-based tiering, configurable erasure coding, and S3-compatible interfaces for cloud and hybrid-cloud architectures. Ultra-low latency ABR delivery shrinks live-event delays to under two seconds, versus 30 seconds for traditional adaptive bit-rate streaming.

Features and benefits

One platform, not three

One cloud-native platform that packages, records, and stores live, VOD, and time-shifted video, replacing the need for separate origin, recording, and storage systems.

Ahead of the spoilers

Ultra-low latency ABR delivery reduces live-event delay to under two seconds, keeping viewers ahead of social media spoilers.

Always-on resilience

Frame-accurate failover and active-active geo-redundancy keep services running through site failures without viewer interruption.

Runs where you run

The same software runs across private cloud, public cloud, and on-prem hardware, adapting as deployment strategy evolves.

Cloud DVR on your terms

Cloud DVR supports private-copy, shared-copy, and hybrid recording methodologies, scaling to meet growing subscriber demand.

One ingest, every format

Multi-format packaging produces HLS, DASH, and CMAF on-the-fly from a single ingest, reaching every connected screen.

Smarter storage, standard hardware

Object storage scales on commercial-off-the-shelf servers with popularity-based tiering and S3-compatible interfaces for hybrid-cloud architectures.

Free your operations team

Operations teams focus on launching new channels rather than firefighting fragmented systems and keeping separate stacks aligned.

The cost of complexity

Streaming operators run live linear, VOD, and time-shifted services across cloud, on-prem, and hybrid infrastructure, often using separate origin, recording, and storage systems for each. Scaling capacity for 4K and 8K content, expanding DVR libraries, or surviving a site failure can each force costly re-architecture. When the origin layer cannot recover from failures cleanly, viewers see playback interruptions and lost recordings. Operations teams divert effort from launching channels into keeping fragmented systems aligned.

Why Velocix Origin

Velocix Origin pairs ultra-low latency ABR delivery (under two seconds) with multi-site geo-redundancy and frame-accurate failover, features operators may have to assemble from multiple vendors. Software-defined object storage runs on COTS servers and scales to exabyte capacity, expanding HD, 4K, and 8K libraries without proprietary hardware. Origin is the platform behind award-winning hybrid-cloud streaming deployments at scale.

Designed to evolve toward outcome-driven, self-healing operations, with continued investment in intent-based service models and operational intelligence.

FAQs

What is Velocix Origin and what does it do? Velocix Origin is a modular cloud-native platform that packages, records, and stores video for streaming operators. It powers live linear, VOD, and time-shifted services including Cloud DVR, catch-up, and start-over for every connected screen. Origin includes multi-site geo-redundancy with frame-accurate failover, software-defined object storage scaling to exabytes, and ultra-low latency ABR streaming with under two seconds of live delay.

Who is Velocix Origin designed for? Velocix Origin is built for streaming operators delivering live and time-shifted video at scale, including telcos, broadcasters, pay-TV providers, and OTT services. TELUS, Vodafone, and Entel use Origin to power live, VOD, and Cloud DVR services. It suits operations teams managing hybrid-cloud workflows, engineering teams scaling DVR libraries, and content teams launching new connected-screen services.

How does Velocix Origin solve packaging and recording complexity?

Velocix Origin consolidates packaging, recording, and storage onto a single cloud-native platform. Live, VOD, catch-up, and time-shifted streams are packaged just-in-time with multi-DRM applied at packaging time, delivered as HLS, DASH, or CMAF. Recordings flow into object storage scaling to exabyte capacity on commercial-off-the-shelf servers. Ultra-low latency delivery reduces live-event delay to under two seconds, with the same software running across private cloud, public cloud, and on-prem hardware.

How does Velocix Origin compare to other origin and packaging products?

Many origin products handle either live or VOD, or run only in cloud or on-prem. Velocix Origin packages, records, and stores all content types on one engine across private cloud, public cloud, and on-prem. Multi-site geo-redundancy with frame-accurate failover is built in, not bolted on. Object storage scales to exabytes on COTS servers, removing the need for proprietary hardware. Alternative tools require separate stacks where Origin uses one.

What formats and tools does Velocix Origin integrate with?

Velocix Origin outputs HLS, DASH, and CMAF for mobile devices, smart TVs, set-top boxes, and browsers. Software-defined storage exposes S3-compatible interfaces connecting to public cloud and hybrid-cloud architectures without custom integration. Multi-encoder ingest is supported, with content synchronised across geo-redundant clusters for frame-accurate failover. Origin integrates with upstream encoders, downstream CDNs, and content protection systems used in typical streaming chains.

How is Velocix Origin deployed and how quickly can teams get started?

Velocix Origin deploys on private cloud, public cloud (with S3-compatible storage), or on-prem hardware, with the same modular software and behaviour across all three. Operators run it as a managed service, in their own cloud account, or on COTS servers. Hybrid-cloud deployments are field-proven at TELUS, with packaging, recording, and storage spanning on-prem and cloud. Adding channels, scaling storage, or expanding regions does not require rebuilding the origin layer.
