Media Routing via ActionSync

For more than a decade, end-to-end media streaming has been ActionStreamer’s bread and butter. But along the way, we learned an essential truth: Streaming media is only as powerful as where, and how, you can send it.

Without a flexible, reliable way to route media to the right endpoints, even the most advanced streaming technology falls short. That realization has shaped everything we’ve built since.

From Live Sports to Global Media Routing

ActionStreamer’s journey into media routing began in the world of sports and broadcast media. Early on, our priority was simple but demanding: get live camera feeds from streaming football helmets into SDI outputs for production trucks, without delay or degradation.

We solved that challenge, setting a new standard for low-latency, field-to-truck streaming.

As our customers’ needs evolved, so did our routing capabilities.

Remote Contribution Over 5G

Through our work with T-Mobile and MLB, a new challenge emerged: How do you send a camera feed from a remote location over 5G, loop it back to ActionStreamer HQ, and then deliver it cleanly into a broadcast control room, anywhere in the world?

The answer led us to develop robust routing to RTMP and SRT endpoints, unlocking reliable, high-quality remote contribution over cellular networks.

Media Routing for Defense and Real-Time Collaboration

Our work with the U.S. Department of Defense on IRIS (Integrated Respirator Information System) pushed media routing even further.

In this environment, routing video to traditional broadcast endpoints wasn’t enough. Teams needed live video delivered directly into video conferencing software, so experts could see exactly what a wearer was seeing and respond in real time.

ActionStreamer rose to the challenge by enabling direct routing into our custom video conferencing platform. With two-way audio devices, conference participants can now speak directly to the person in the field, creating a true, real-time feedback loop when it matters most.

Routing One Stream to Many Destinations

These experiences, and our growing use of AI engines, revealed the next big need: routing the same media stream to multiple destinations at once.

Imagine the possibilities:

A live video feed is sent to a video conference and simultaneously to an AI engine that detects whether a tool was left inside a fuel cell.

Real-time computer vision identifies machine components and guides a technician through repair steps.

A single stream routed to a customer’s proprietary platform via ActionStreamer’s API and SDK, while also outputting pristine SDI to local hardware.

This is no longer hypothetical.

ActionSync Media Routing

All of this, and much more, is made possible with ActionStreamer’s ActionSync™ media routing.

ActionSync gives users simple, powerful control over where their media goes, in real time. It’s built to be:

Highly configurable, route to one or many endpoints instantly

Quality aware, deliver high resolution video where it matters, low resolution previews where it doesn’t

Future-ready, seamlessly integrate AI engines, APIs, SDKs, and legacy broadcast infrastructure

With ActionSync, routing media isn’t a technical obstacle; it’s a strategic advantage.
