Leading the evolution of IP audio & video codecs since 1995

QuantumX

SW + Cloud

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+.

Why Choose QuantumX?

  • Deploy Anywhere – Run on Docker or Kubernetes across your own infrastructure, whether on-premises, private cloud, or hybrid environments.
  • Scale on Demand – Launch multiple codec instances on a single server and allocate resources only where they’re needed.
  • No Hardware Required – Eliminate shipping, maintenance, and hardware lifecycle costs with a pure software solution.
  • Broadcast-Grade Reliability – Powered by the trusted Quantum2 engine with the same professional codec performance.
  • Flexible Subscription Model – Annual licensing lets you easily scale capacity up or down while always staying up to date with the latest features and protocol improvements.
