Quortex Link is one of its applications, focused on secure point-to-point and point-to-multipoint distribution of live video feeds to partners and affiliates worldwide.

What is Link?

Link is a cloud-based live video distribution platform: it is an application of Quortex for point-to-multipoint distribution of professional live video streams from any source to any destination using public cloud. Built for B2B use cases, it delivers live content from rights holders and content providers to broadcasters, affiliates, takers, and platforms worldwide.

How is AI by Quortex different from traditional AI solutions?

Traditional AI solutions often run continuously, consuming resources even when no value is created. AI by Quortex activates capabilities only when they deliver measurable impact, helping reduce costs and improve efficiency.

Does it work for one-off events as well as permanent channels?

Yes. Link handles both 24/7 operations and event-based distribution. The built-in scheduler lets you plan and automate deliveries, and our documented REST API integrates with third-party scheduling systems.

What makes Link different?

Quortex Link is built for simplicity at every layer. You define sources and destinations, and the platform handles provisioning and infrastructure. Quortex Link is fully self-service, abstracting technical complexity so no setup team is required. Quortex Link delivers immediate time to market through fast affiliate onboarding, with usage-based pricing that lets you deploy only when needed, billed on a single invoice. Quortex Link is also backed by a 24/7 video NOC providing dedicated operations support.

How is delivery reliability ensured?

Quortex Link uses the SRT protocol, designed for secure, resilient video delivery over any IP network, even under adverse conditions. It also supports dual-stream input failover and multi-AZ ingest, so a single source or zone failure doesn’t interrupt delivery.

How do you prevent unauthorized access to my content?

Streams can be encrypted with AES-128 or AES-256. You can also apply IP filtering to ensure that only authorized receivers connect to your distributions.

Can I distribute content globally, across multiple regions?

Yes. Inter-region traffic runs over the AWS global network, minimizing exposure to the public internet and keeping quality consistent at global scale.

Can I use AWS Direct Connect with Link?

Yes. Ground-to-cloud and cloud-to-ground connectivity via AWS Direct Connect can be set up by our support team. Get in touch and we’ll guide you through it.

Do you support 4K video or MPTS streams?

Yes. Quortex Link is agnostic to stream content. We transport your feed without modification, supporting any TS-based content over SRT including 4K, multi-program transport streams, and any embedded audio or video format.

Do you pass through SCTE-35 markers?

Yes. Any markers present in your source stream, including SCTE-35, are passed through to all destinations without modification.

What protocols does Link support?

Quortex Link ingests live feeds over SRT and delivers them over SRT, Zixi, or RTMP. If your source doesn’t output SRT, Quortex’s multicast-to-SRT gateway can bridge the gap.

What is SRT?

SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) is an open-source protocol for low-latency, reliable video delivery over unpredictable IP networks like the public internet. It includes packet recovery mechanisms and supports AES encryption. Quortex Link uses SRT for ingest and supports SRT, Zixi, and RTMP for delivery.

Is Link an alternative to satellite distribution?

Yes. Quortex Link is designed to replace or complement traditional satellite and dedicated fiber links, without the long-term contracts, always-on costs, or complex infrastructure.
