UDC-TV LIVE
You are viewing a live UDC-TV stream originating at Human Circuit’s colocation facility in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
Human Circuit Lab (HcLAB) developed OTT Launch Pad - a secure, conditioned environment purpose-built to support the operation of edge servers, storage systems, and encoding infrastructure for OTT (Over-The-Top) distribution of public, educational, and government programming.
How It Works
The program feed originates from a video server with an HD-SDI output at Human Circuit’s facility. The baseband signal is encoded into an SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) stream and transmitted over the public internet to the OCTFME Technical Core at 1899 9th St NE, Washington DC.
For this proof of concept, UDC-TV is leveraging OCTFME’s existing broadcast and streaming infrastructure to validate the end-to-end transport and web delivery workflow.
At OCTFME, the SRT stream is received and decoded into a UDP transport stream. This signal is then ingested by an on-prem Elemental Live encoder, which compresses the video into H.264 format for adaptive bitrate distribution. The encoded stream is delivered to an on-prem Elemental Delta server, where it is packaged into HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) segments and a manifest file, making the stream available for reliable playback in standard web browsers.
