Built with Kealu Vector for the Hardest Workload on the Internet
Continuous Data Movement
Live video places unique demands on infrastructure. It requires continuous data movement.
Tight Synchronization Across Regions
Live video places unique demands on infrastructure. It requires tight synchronization across regions.
Uninterrupted Operation
Live video places unique demands on infrastructure. It requires uninterrupted operation under real-world load.
Connect+ is a broadcast-grade media transport gateway written in Go—designed specifically for this class of problem where timing, throughput, and reliability must hold simultaneously, not in isolation.
The result is streaming infrastructure that stays fast, stable, and predictable as scale increases.
Breaking Through the 50-Output Limit
AWS MediaConnect-Compatible, Without the Constraints
Traditional managed streaming services impose artificial limits that force you to scale infrastructure—and costs—linearly with your distribution needs.
Connect+ is AWS MediaConnect-compatible but removes the bottleneck.
Running on commodity hardware, Connect+ delivers 1,000+ outputs per flow where managed services cap at 50. This isn't just a performance improvement—it's a fundamental shift in streaming economics.
What that enables:
Higher throughput per node
Lower end-to-end latency
Fewer infrastructure components
Dramatically lower operating cost
This architectural approach is what allows Connect+ to scale high-volume video transport without scaling OpEx linearly.
Enterprise-Grade Redundancy & Protocol Support
Connect+ delivers the reliability and flexibility broadcast workflows demand:
Redundancy Strategies
Three distinct approaches to ensure uninterrupted delivery:
- SMPTE 2022-7 RTP deduplication
- SRT MERGE-mode content-hash deduplication
- RIST Advanced Profile bonding
Multi-Protocol Support
Native compatibility with industry standards:
- SRT (Secure Reliable Transport)
- RIST (Reliable Internet Stream Transport)
- RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol)
- RTMP (Real-Time Messaging Protocol)
- WHIP/WHEP (planned)
Plus flexible storage backends including DynamoDB, SQLite, and KMS-encrypted options for secure, scalable configuration management.
Eliminating the Fanout Tax
Most cloud streaming services charge exponentially as you add outputs. More destinations means more infrastructure, more complexity, and dramatically higher bills.
This is the Fanout Tax—and it's entirely artificial.
Connect+ eliminates it by decoupling output scaling from infrastructure cost.
Connect+ breaks through AWS MediaConnect's 50-output limit to enable 1,000+ outputs per flow on commodity hardware.
Where AWS MediaConnect caps each flow at 50 outputs and charges premium managed-service fees, Connect+ removes the artificial constraint—delivering 20x the output capacity at a fraction of the cost.
Connect+ software licensing accounts for the orchestration and transport logic, while raw compute is paid directly to the cloud provider—without managed-service markups.
This model delivers hyperscaler-grade reliability at a fraction of traditional streaming OpEx, often reducing total cloud streaming costs by up to 90% compared to managed media services.
Designed to Scale Without Surprise
Connect+ is optimized for:
High-volume ingress and egress
Thousands of concurrent streams
Continuous operation under load
Predictable performance as usage grows
Because the architecture minimizes overhead at the system level, scaling reach does not require scaling cost at the same rate.
You scale your audience—not your bill.
Deploy Where It Makes Sense
Connect+ runs wherever your streaming workloads need to live:
Public cloud for rapid deployment
Private cloud for greater control
Edge or on-prem environments for latency- or policy-sensitive use cases
The architecture stays the same. The performance characteristics stay the same. Only the deployment context changes.
