A Video-Sharing Platform Built for Closed Networks

Zao Server is a video-sharing platform built for closed-network environments. Soliton’s proprietary RASCOW technology and multi-link capability deliver stable video transmission even over mobile or satellite connections, while the platform also supports on-premises deployment. It meets the information-sharing needs of organizations that demand high reliability and security—from public-sector and critical-infrastructure operators to private enterprises. Up to 50 transmitters can send video simultaneously, with distribution to as many as 168 destinations, making the platform suitable for large-scale video-sharing environments.

Zao Server's Full Feature Set

Multi-Site Distribution & External System Integration

Multi-Site Distribution

Distributes received live video to up to 168 destinations for real-time, shared situational awareness.

IP Relay

Received live video can be relayed externally over UDP, RTP, RTSP, RTMP (RTMPS), or SRT. It integrates with video management systems and recording/distributions platforms to make the most of the systems you already have in place.
