evertz.io XChange is a cloud-based orchestration and stream processing platform that manages the full lifecycle of live video — from contribution to distribution — for Direct-to-Consumer (DTC), FAST, and OTT services.
Through a single, browser-based interface, XChange provides a true “single pane of glass” to onboard, configure, monitor, automate, and scale live IP workflows across on-prem, edge, and cloud environments.
Why evertz.io XChange?
Centralized control
of geographically distributed encoders, decoders, and IP transport paths
Cloud-native SaaS
platform built for modern IP workflows
Designed for scale
automation, and operational efficiency
Ideal replacement
or complement to satellite-based distribution
Key Capabilities
-
Unified Orchestration & Visibility
Manage all live streams and devices from a single UI with real-time topology views, thumbnails, and advanced telemetry, giving operators confidence monitoring and rapid fault isolation across the entire workflow.
-
Plug-and-Play Edge Device Management
Evertz edge devices — including XPS, SCORPION, and Reflektor — automatically register with XChange using secure certificates. Third-party SRT, RIST, and Zixi are also supported, enabling mixed-vendor environments.
-
Visual Flow Control & Routing
Create, monitor, and tear down contribution, processing, and distribution paths using SRT, RIST, Zixi, RTP/UDP unicast and multicast workflows using intuitive topology-based routing.
-
Built-In Stream Processing
XChange includes SaaS-based Transformers for:
- Transcoding and standards conversion
- Audio and video processing
- UDX and stream grooming
Processing is template-driven and billed on a pay-as-you-use model, making it easy to scale up for events or pop-up channels and scale down when no longer needed.
-
Automation, Scheduling & Market Switching
Automate workflows using time-based or event-driven orchestration. Native SCTE-224 support enables market switching, regionalization, blackout management, and TV 2.0 monetization models for IP and hybrid satellite/IP distribution.
Built for Reliability & Scale
Cloud-native, multi-tenant SaaS
on the evertz.io platform
Blue/green deployments
for seamless upgrades
Dual stream paths
for high availability in live operations
Supports edge, cloud, and hybrid deployments
including private data centers and public cloud VPCs
Typical Use Cases
Contribution & Remote Production
Centrally manage encoder/decoder fleets scross trucks, flypacks, venues and bureaus with real-time monitoring during live events.
Live Events & Pop-Up Channels
Spin up temporary processing and distribution chains for special events, then shut them down automatically to control costs.
Distribution, Regionalization & Satellite-to-IP
Replace legacy satellite control systems with SCTE 224-driven IP workflows, or run satellite and IP in parallel during migration.
Direct-to-Consumer, FAST & OTT
Use XChange as the orchestration layer feeding evertz.io Stream and other DTC/OTT platforms, aligning contribution, processing, and distribution under one control model.
