QuantumX
QuantumX is Prodys’ next-generation software-defined codec platform, bringing the proven performance of Quantum2 audio and video codecs into a fully virtual environment. Deploy codec instances on your own Linux infrastructure, scale resources instantly, and eliminate hardware limitations—all through a flexible subscription model.
Whether you’re managing a major broadcast network, covering live sports events, or delivering cloud-based media services, QuantumX lets you build powerful, scalable IP workflows with the flexibility modern broadcasters demand.
A Complete Codec, Reimagined as Software
QuantumX provides the full capabilities of a Prodys Quantum2 codec without dedicated hardware. Running as lightweight Docker or Kubernetes containers, it allows broadcasters to deploy codec instances wherever they’re needed—on-premises, in a private cloud, or in hybrid environments. New codec instances can be launched in seconds, enabling operations to adapt quickly to changing production requirements.
Each virtual codec includes the same professional features as its hardware counterpart, including a complete web interface, comprehensive protocol support, advanced coding algorithms, monitoring, alarms, and centralized management through ProdysControl+.
