Brutus DVR & Archive

Brutus: DVR & Archive

DVR and Archive functionality in Brutus Media Server allows operators to record live streams and store them for later playback or long-term retention. The server can capture multiple channels simultaneously, segmenting video into HLS or MPEG-DASH formats for efficient storage and retrieval. This enables time-shifted viewing, on-demand access, and compliance archiving, while maintaining adaptive bitrate support and metadata integration. Brutus also offers automated management, indexing, and playback controls, making it ideal for OTT platforms, IPTV networks, and enterprise video systems.
