Also included on the GoStream SURF are the most versatile ViewCast software applications - Niagara SCX® Pro and Simulstream® - both pre-configured and ready to use. These tools empower you to set up, control and monitor multiple Niagara streaming systems throughout an enterprise or over the Internet, using a single, easy-to-use interface.

Capture, encode, stream and archive video in a wide variety of popular encoding and streaming formats.

Niagara SCX Pro, together with Simulstream, enables you to create multiple streams in different formats in real time*, giving you the flexibility to create exactly the right content for your various audiences. This means you can encode different streams for Intranet users, high-speed Internet users, dial-up users, and viewers on mobile devices - all at the same time!

With MPEG-4 and Adobe Flash Live streaming capabilities you can deliver your rich media content to the latest Internet-enabled video devices, as well as a wide array of mobile devices. You can size and scale each individual stream, and customize each stream with bitmap overlays (e.g., logos), closed-captioning, etc.

No other portable media encoder on the market today offers this level of flexibility and convenience. Capture your live video and audio on the GO and discover why ViewCast is a global leader in the industry.

* Niagara SCX allows complete control over each stream's capture size and other parameters that can cumulatively affect system performance due to the limitations of CPU speed and other internal factors. Contact our application support team to ensure that the GoStream SURF can support your combination of channels, frame sizes, bit rates, multiple-format encodes, etc.
