The ultimate solution for high performance live production

X5 is a compact, power-efficient solution that brings X Platform capability to edge and space-constrained deployments, without compromising on broadcast-grade reliability.

Uncompromising performance

The X5 is a compact media processing solution designed for space constrained and distributed deployments. It delivers ultra-low latency media transport and high quality performance in a power efficient form factor. Built for edge environments, it brings broadcast grade reliability to locations where footprint and efficiency matter most.

X Platform capability streamlined

The X5 extends the core strengths of the X Platform, designed for fast deployment and seamless integration, it supports cloud-centric and distributed production environments without sacrificing performance.

Operate using the same trusted model

The X5 preserves the operational consistency of the X Platform, allowing teams to deploy, monitor, and maintain edge nodes using familiar tools and processes: There’s no need for a new operational model, just high-performance live contribution delivered through a workflow engineers already know and trust.

Built for live production applications

X5 is designed for live production environments: at venues, in mobile units, across regional sites, or at network edges, X5 delivers broadcast-grade performance and operational efficiencies across a wide range of contribution applications.

Remote contribution and regional backhaul

Move high value feeds from remote sites to centralised production or distribution hubs, over managed or unmanaged networks, while maintaining predictable operations and rapid troubleshooting.

REMI /Remote production

Support venue contribution and return paths for live events, with an edge footprint suited to tight racks and mobile environments.

Flypacks, OB trucks, and mobile rigs

Deploy X5 when space, power draw, and noise are constraints, but reliability and low-latency performance remain non-negotiable.

Venue production and pop-up studios

Ideal for temporary sites that still require broadcast grade confidence: fast setup, repeatable configuration, and operational visibility from day one.

Backup and resiliency nodes

Use X5 to build protection paths, alternate routing, and fast recovery for distributed live operations.
