Launch a live, private 20-minute demo of Bitstreams Manager by NETINT on the NetActuate edge - on demand, no signup, no card.

Bitstreams Manager is the control plane for a fleet of NETINT Bitstreams live-encoding instances. Instead of logging into each encoder one node at a time, you run a single web console that discovers, monitors, and operates every Bitstreams instance you deploy, wherever it runs.

Manager itself needs no VPU and runs on any standard NetActuate VM. Your Bitstreams encoders connect outbound to the Manager over mutually-authenticated HTTPS, so there are no inbound firewall changes to make on the encoder nodes: bring up a new encoder in any point of presence and it registers itself with the Manager.

Key features

  • Fleet at a glance. One dashboard across every Bitstreams instance: live channel health, per-node VPU, CPU, and memory utilization, and hardware telemetry rolled up in a single view.
  • Central operations. Push encoding templates and configuration to any instance, start and stop channels, and manage users and access from one place.
  • Zero-touch enrollment. Bitstreams encoders dial home to the Manager over mTLS-HTTPS, so there are no inbound ports to open and no per-node firewall rules to maintain.
  • Runs anywhere. No VPU and no specialized hardware; deploy the Manager on any NetActuate VM close to your operators.
  • Automate at scale. The same token-secured REST API the console uses, for programmatic control of your whole fleet.

Deploy on the NetActuate edge Run one Manager and point your whole Bitstreams estate at it: encoders live on VPU-capable nodes across NetActuate's 45+ global points of presence while you operate them centrally. The Bitstreams software is included; you pay only for the NetActuate infrastructure you use. NETINT supports the application, NetActuate runs the platform, so you get one accountable partner on each side of the stack.
