Glookast Launches Gloobox Stream, Announces Mobile Ingest Functionality, and New Integrations at NAB 2024

At NAB 2024, Glookast showcased a few exciting highlights ranging from newly released integrations and features to a new product launch – Gloobox Stream, which enables users to have enterprise-grade ingest functionality for both cloud and on- premises environments without the need for investing in extensive SDI or IP infrastructures.

“This NAB was very rewarding for us in the sense that we received the market’s affirmation that the new things we’ve been working on will deliver value to our customers,” says Matt Silva, CEO at Glookast. “Namely, the launch of Gloobox Stream and our mobile live ingest functionality will enable our customers to ingest from anywhere and scale their ingest capabilities in-line with their production demands.”

Gloobox Stream: enterprise-grade ingest functionality for compressed streams

Supporting standard protocols such as SRT, NDI, RTMP, etc., Gloobox Stream sets a new standard for stream ingest capabilities, empowering media professionals to seamlessly bring streams into their production environment in an intelligent and efficient manner, from anywhere, without having to invest in complex and expensive infrastructures. Gloobox Stream will benefit from the extensive functionality that Gloobox Capturer provides, including multi-res / multi-destination workflows, multi- platform integrations, loop recording, and extensive format support.

Live Ingest from Mobile Devices to Cloud or On-Premises

In addition to Glookast Stream, Glookast has unveiled a new feature that allows for live ingest directly from cell phones to the cloud or on-premises environments. This capability is aimed at decreasing time- to-air, particularly for fast-turnaround environments, by enabling media professionals to capture and ingest content in real-time from anywhere, at any time. Additionally, this feature gives Glookast users a secure and effective way of bringing audience-generated content into their production environment.

Integration with Moments Lab

On the integration front, Glookast announces a strategic partnership with Moments Lab and CIS Group to provide a comprehensive tape-based archive digitization and indexing service leveraging Moments Lab’s multimodal AI model for purposes of metadata enrichment. While the primary intent of the partnership is to provide a solution to media organizations with the need of digitizing their tapes, the integration between Glookast and Moments Lab stems to other use cases as well, also providing value to those utilizing Moments Lab’s platform in a more collaborative, content creation context.
