Firewall friendly control of tx edges in any location
Secure WebSocket connections let you manage and monitor every tx edge, even when it sits behind a third-party firewall.
A lightweight, high-availability control platform for critical broadcast environments
Centrally manage and monitor every tx edge in your estate, even behind third-party firewalls, from a single unified management system.
tx core is a lightweight, high-availability control platform, purpose-built to manage tx edge and other Techex software products across critical broadcast environments.
tx core centrally manages the deployment of upgrades, even to tx edges behind firewalls. It connects to tx edge and streams telemetry over secure WebSockets, allowing control and monitoring of deployments behind third-party firewalls.
What tx core delivers
Resilience by design
tx core is deployed as an active:active high availability cluster offering maximum fault tolerance.
tx edges hold a persistent master copy of their own configuration, so services keep running even if contact with tx core is lost.
Enterprise-grade access control
LDAP, SAML and Microsoft Azure AD integration, including two-factor authentication, so access follows the identity policies you already run.
One view of the whole estate
Correlated telemetry, alerting and control for every tx edge, surfaced through a single administration interface.
Built for integration
A full REST API exposes every administrative function, for integration with systems such as Skyline Dataminer, Grafana, Splunk and Nevion VideoIPath.
Product Principles
Lightweight
A control platform built to be deployed and run without adding operational overhead.
High Availability
Every tx edge will continue operating independently even if their controlling tx core is unreachable.
Security
OWASP Level 2 compliance, with protections based on defence-in-depth, suitable for internet-facing deployment.
Integration-led
A full REST API exposes every administrative capability, for deep integration with third-party control and orchestration systems.
Transparency
Every event is verbosely captured to a high-performance time series database, correlated and surfaced through integrations such as Grafana.
Design and support
Expert design backed by expert 24x7 support, purpose-built for Tier 1 broadcast.
Built for Tier-1 Broadcasters
National and regional broadcasters
Centralised control and monitoring of the tx edge estate across regional headends and network operations centres, without adding hardware.
Streaming and OTT operators
One control plane for tx edge deployments across hybrid, on-prem and cloud infrastructure.
Sports rights holders
Reliable monitoring and control for live transport during the world's biggest events, wherever each tx edge sits.
MSPs and platform partners
Multi-tenant control of tx edge fleets serving many customers and channels from a single platform.
Network operations teams
Correlated monitoring across thousands of tx edge instances, with alerts routed into the tools your team already uses.
Systems integrators and orchestration partners
A full REST API and native integrations with Skyline Dataminer, ATOS BNCS and Nevion VideoIPath, for control-system interoperability.
How is tx core built?
tx core is built around a high-availability cluster.
Commands and information are synchronised automatically and in real time across the cluster, so any server can control devices connected to any other. Clusters withstand the loss of an individual server, and can load-balance to increase capacity.
Manage your estate, anywhere
tx core's administration interface is built around modern, responsive design practices, so it works as well on a desktop as it does on a tablet or phone.
Every tx edge reports its state in real time, including online status and active channel, giving operators reliable feedback even when acting on a service they can't see directly.
tx core verbosely captures all events to a high-performance time series database, allowing bitrate, jitter, RTP errors, CC errors, ARQ statistics and more to be plotted and correlated over time.
A northbound Grafana-native datasource provides correlated monitoring of all tx edge instances and third-party infrastructure, without writing custom queries. Notifications can be routed to Slack, Microsoft Teams, webhooks and email, or via Grafana to PagerDuty, OpsGenie, Telegram and Prometheus Alertmanager, with native syslog output for Splunk.
