Cerberus Tech, a leader in cloud-native IP contribution and distribution, has introduced gateway agent functionality within its Livelink cloud-native provisioning, orchestration, and automation platform for live video processing and transport.

This enhancement extends real-time visibility and control to edge encoding, decoding, and transmission devices, bridging the gap between cloud-based orchestration and on-premises operations to enable comprehensive control and monitoring from a single pane of glass.

Chris Clarke, CRO & Co-Founder, Cerberus Tech, said, “While remote cloud-enabled video delivery workflows can provide real-time data – and monitoring and alerting – on live streams from ingest to egress, the inability to monitor or control edge devices has been a significant barrier to efficiency.

“The new gateway agent within Livelink overcomes that obstacle. By deploying this lightweight, agnostic, security-conscious agent on edge devices, users gain centralised control over critical transmission infrastructure, reducing the need for on-site intervention and optimising their live video delivery workflows.”

Available in both self-service and managed service models, the Cerberus Tech Livelink platform combines a protocol-agnostic multicloud-compatible infrastructure with low-latency reach to simplify IP workflows and enable scalable content delivery for occasional use or 24/7 distributions.

Whether installed directly onto a device or used to “talk” to any hardware or software-based device, Livelink’s new gateway agent enables secure remote management of any on-premises system. Integrating with existing workflows, the gateway agent establishes expansive device control within the platform’s convenient web-based UI and simplifies tasks such as configuring devices, adjusting bit rates, and retrieving logs.

“With this latest enhancement, Livelink consolidates control of both cloud-based and on-premises workflows within a single interface,” added Clarke. “Whether users are managing live event transmissions or 24/7 broadcast operations, the Livelink gateway agent allows them to accelerate video delivery and reduce operational overhead.”To see Livelink demos featuring gateway agent functionality, visit Cerberus Tech at booth W2425 during NAB 2025, which is taking place at the Las Vegas Convention Centre from April 5 to 9.
