Helix
LIVE PRODUCT

Traffic Control
for Live Video

Helix takes in your camera feeds, monitors their health, automatically switches to backups if something fails, and delivers your stream to every platform at the same time. Think of it as mission control for your live video.

Automatic failover when feeds drop
Real-time observability across every workflow
Multi-destination output, recording, and shareable access
Built for:multi-language rooms, remote production, esports tournaments, live events

The Problem

  • "Our stream went down because one camera feed dropped."
  • "We're sending to 5 platforms and managing each one separately."
  • "We have no idea if the stream is healthy until viewers complain."
  • "We need a control room, not just a streaming tool."

What Helix Does About It

Helix watches all your feeds, automatically switches to a backup if one fails, and sends your stream to every platform simultaneously. You create a "room" for each match or language feed, go live when ready, and monitor everything from one place. When you're done, end the session — no servers left running.

CAPABILITIES

Built for the demands of live.

Everything you need to run resilient live productions from your browser.

Room-Based Workflow

Create a room per match, language, or program feed. Each room runs in isolation with its own inputs, outputs, and lifecycle — so one problem doesn't cascade.

Multi-Input Ingest

Attach primary, backup, and clean feeds per room. Redundancy is architectural, not an afterthought — automatic backup switching is built into the core.

Automatic Failover

Continuous health monitoring on every input. When quality degrades or a feed drops, Helix switches to the designated backup source without operator intervention.

Multi-Output Distribution

Route one program feed to multiple destinations simultaneously — YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, custom RTMP/SRT endpoints — each independently monitored.

Observability & Health Monitoring

Production-aware observability across every workflow. Feed health, connection stability, bitrate graphs, and system state — visible in real time so your team operates with confidence.

Preview Monitoring

Lightweight preview streams for every input and output. Monitor what's going out before it reaches viewers — without consuming full production bandwidth.

Session Recording

Capture live session outputs as part of the production workflow. Integrated recording means content archival and review are built into the platform, not bolted on.

Shareable Access Links

Generate secure shareable links for monitoring, preview, or review. Give clients, producers, or remote stakeholders visibility into live workflows without granting full platform access.

Audit Trail & Activity Timeline

Full operational log — what changed, when, who made the change. Complete session history for post-event review, compliance, and operational learning.

Lifecycle Controls

Clear session states: Setup, Live, End. Know exactly where you are in the production lifecycle. Infrastructure runs only while rooms are active — no idle cost.

Format Flexibility

RTMP ingest and output today, with SRT and HLS support designed into the architecture. Protocol expansion without workflow disruption.

Operator-First Design

Every interface, control, and workflow is designed for the people who actually run live broadcasts. Production realities shaped the product, not theoretical use cases.

Why Helix?

Multistreaming is a feature. Helix is a complete control plane designed for the chaos of live operations.

HOW IT WORKS

A simple, predictable workflow.

Solid engineering that gets out of your way.

1

Create Room

Set up a room for your match, language, or program feed.

2

Configure Inputs

Attach primary and backup sources with health monitoring.

3

Configure Outputs

Add destinations — platforms, CDNs, custom endpoints.

4

Go Live & Monitor

Start streaming with real-time health and preview monitoring.

5

End & Review

Close the session. Review audit logs and activity timeline.

Built For

  • Tournament Organizers

    Manage multiple regional feeds with clean room-based isolation.

  • Broadcast Studios

    Reliable cloud ingest and distribution for remote talent and distributed production.

  • Esports Productions

    Handle dynamic inputs, POVs, and observer feeds at scale with automatic failover.

  • Live Events

    Ensure your keynote or event stream reaches every platform reliably.

Why Helix Stands Out

Helix isn't a shallow streaming tool. It's a production-aware cloud platform built for the operational realities of high-stakes live video — where visibility, control, and reliability determine success.

Operational visibility

Health monitoring, feed state, and system observability — so your team knows exactly what's happening at every moment.

Reliability-first architecture

Room isolation, automatic failover, and redundant ingest — problems don't cascade, and the stream keeps going.

Collaboration-ready

Shareable access links, preview monitoring, and recording — so stakeholders, clients, and remote teams stay in the loop.

Scales without complexity

Add rooms, add languages, add destinations. Infrastructure scales with your event — and shuts down when it's over.

ROADMAP

What's Coming to Helix

The core orchestration platform is live. Here's what we're building next.

In Development

Real-Time Telemetry & QoS

Deeper analytics and quality-of-service scoring for every stream — bitrate, latency, frame health, and connection stability.

In Development

AI-Assisted Fallback

Intelligent detection and transition to backup sources using AI-based analysis of feed quality and content integrity.

Planned

Per-Input/Output Health Dashboards

Granular health visibility for each individual input and output — connection status, bitrate graphs, error rates, and history.

Planned

Team & Role-Based Access

Granular permissions, role-based controls, and team workflows — so operators, admins, and viewers each see what they need.

Planned

Recording & Delay Controls

Session recording, delayed output, and advanced media handling capabilities for archival and time-shifted distribution.

Exploring

Mobile Notifications & Alerts

Push notifications for feed health events, failover triggers, and session state changes — keeping operators informed from anywhere.

Exploring

Advanced Operator Workflows

Improved control room UX with operator presets, quick-actions, and production templates for faster session setup.

Planned

Usage Analytics & Reporting

Detailed session breakdowns, usage reports, and operational insights tied to actual runtime and resource consumption.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Helix is designed around live sessions. Create a room, configure it, go live, and end the session when you're done. Infrastructure runs only while the room is active.
