Veset announced three updates to its Nimbus cloud playout platform: live recording, cloud-based graphics scheduling, and new output support for MainConcept H.264, H.265/HEVC, and native SRT. These features aim to improve format interoperability and workflow flexibility for broadcasters managing linear channels in the cloud.
These updates eliminate dependencies that previously required Nimbus users to rely on third-party tools for live capture, graphics overlay, and SRT transport. Native SRT replaces external products Veset previously used, reducing integration complexity and cost for broadcasters delivering linear channels to satellite, cable, and OTT endpoints simultaneously. The H.265/HEVC addition positions Nimbus for UHD output as media competition intensifies. Watch whether native SRT adoption in Veset's customer base displaces third-party transport tools over the coming quarters.
Veset has positioned Nimbus as a fully cloud-native playout platform since its founding in 2011, and the company was among the first to deploy an AWS-based linear channel management system for broadcasters. In July 2025, Veset's COO Lelde Ardava detailed how Nimbus supports distribution across digital terrestrial, satellite, cable, and OTT platforms with pay-as-you-go billing, emphasizing that the SaaS model eliminates the need for physical hardware and associated CAPEX. The company also confirmed that Telekom Malaysia migrated 10 regional TV channels to Nimbus on AWS in May 2025, representing one of its largest recent deployments.
The native SRT addition is notable because Veset previously relied on third-party products such as Wowza Streaming Engine to provide SRT transport. Veset's own technical documentation on live content delivery confirms that SRT was historically implemented via a Wowza Streaming Engine client, while Zixi required separate Broadcaster, Receiver, or Feeder products. By moving SRT support natively into Nimbus, Veset removes licensing costs and integration overhead for a protocol that has become the de facto standard for low-latency contribution and distribution over unpredictable networks.
On the output side, the addition of MainConcept H.264 encoding enables constant-bitrate MPEG-2 TS feeds required by satellite and cable headends, while H.265/HEVC support opens the path to UHD channel delivery. Veset's current product documentation lists outputs ranging from SD to 4K UHD with H.264, HEVC, or MPEG-2 encoding options, along with native support for SRT, HLS, RTMP, and RTP-FEC on both input and output sides. The platform also supports JPEG XS for low-latency contribution and integrates with AWS MediaConnect for Zixi and RIST transport, giving broadcasters a range of delivery paths without additional hardware.
