The Reflektor is an advanced, enterprise-grade software processing platform engineered to normalize, adapt, and bridge high-value live video streams across cloud architectures and hybrid network endpoints. The REFLEKTOR provides dynamic allocation of resources allowing dynamic flow generation based on ever changing flow requirements. This allows users/schedulers to request a source routed to a destination where the transport, codec or video formats do not match.
Key Features
- PID re-mapping
- Audio transcoding
- CC/SCTE35 data insertions
- SCTE35 modifications
- Audio/video alignment, lip sync
- Video encoding/decoding
- TR101/290 monitoring

Control & Orchestration
Reflektor integrates seamlessly into the Evertz MAGNUM-OS orchestration ecosystem, bridging the gap between cloud-native IP transport and traditional broadcast control. With native support for NMOS IS-04 (discovery and registration) and IS-05 (device connection management), the system acts as an open, interoperable media node within any modern ST 2110 or hybrid architecture. This deep integration allows MAGNUM to automatically discover Reflektor instances, map active stream topologies, and dynamically route signals across localized hardware and virtualized cloud gateways. Operators gain a single, intuitive pane of glass for end-to-end stream provisioning, telemetry, and tally management, ensuring that remote cloud workflows are controlled with the same deterministic precision as on-premise routing infrastructure.
