Description

Castreon is a self-hosted live television headend software designed to operate on Linux servers, which can be managed via a web-based interface. It is capable of processing feeds from various sources, including DVB-C/T/T2 cards, IP cameras, and network protocols like SRT, RIST, UDP, RTMP, HTTP, HLS, and DASH, featuring automatic failover for sources. Users have the option to transcode content using either CPU or GPU, supporting formats such as H.264, HEVC, or AV1, while also enabling the creation of adaptive-bitrate outputs for seamless channel delivery through HLS, LL-HLS, DASH, HTTP-TS, and WebRTC, or by redistributing to other servers and CDNs. Additionally, the software facilitates continuous streaming from media files, offers catch-up and timeshift functionalities, supports recording and clipping options, and provides features such as access control, audience analytics, monitoring, alert systems, and a REST API for integration. Optional enhancements include support for SCTE-35, signed multi-CDN links, and digital rights management (DRM) capabilities. Castreon is specifically tailored for deployment on the operator’s own Linux server, catering to a diverse range of clients, including broadcasters, cable and IPTV operators, OTT services, hotels, and internet service providers, thereby enhancing their live streaming capabilities and content management processes.

Description

Galène, also known as Galene, serves as a user-friendly videoconference server, categorized as an SFU, that requires a moderate amount of server resources for deployment. Initially created for educational purposes such as lectures, seminars, and tutorials, it has proven to be effective for standard business meetings as well. This platform has been successfully utilized at prominent institutions like Université de Paris and Sorbonne Université, facilitating various academic activities including lectures, practical sessions, and staff gatherings, in addition to hosting two significant conferences, SOCS'2020 and JFLA'2021. Built using Go, Galène employs the Pion implementation of WebRTC on the server side, which has been rigorously tested on Linux systems, specifically amd64 and arm64 architectures, while also demonstrating compatibility with Linux armv7, mips (OpenWRT), and even Windows operating systems. Additionally, it is expected to be adaptable to other platforms, including Mac OS X, enhancing its versatility for users. The default client is designed in Javascript, ensuring functionality across the latest versions of major web browsers on both mobile and desktop devices, although users should refer to the FAQ for specifics regarding compatibility issues with certain browsers.
