Brutus IP Gateway Stream Converter

Brutus: IP Gateway Stream Converter

An IP Gateway stream converter using Brutus Media Server allows operators to ingest, convert, and redistribute IP streams across different formats and protocols. It can take incoming RTP, RTMP, SRT, or UDP streams and convert them into HLS, MPEG-DASH, or other IP-friendly outputs for OTT, IPTV, or enterprise delivery. Brutus handles protocol translation, stream normalization, and optional transcoding, ensuring compatibility between diverse devices, networks, and workflows. This makes it ideal for bridging legacy systems, integrating multiple sources, or centralizing content distribution in a scalable, low-latency environment.
