Streams Like a Dream
Whether you’re operating in a television studio, streaming from a live production, or transmitting video to a satellite campus, you need a solution that delivers the highest quality video for any situation. Prism does just that, providing you with stunning 10-bit, 4:2:2, 4K HDR encoding and decoding in a high density format.
Make Room for More
Your video needs may change over time or from day-to-day, from covering live events to receiving point-to-point video at the station. With room for up to nine blades in a 2RU chassis or three blades in a 1RU chassis, you can customize Prism with any combination of encoder and decoder cards necessary to accommodate your environment and workflow.
Stream with Supreme Confidence
When reliability and security matters most, you can’t settle for second best. Teradek is a proud member of the Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) Alliance, and as such, Prism ensures you can deliver high-quality, low-latency streaming video—even during periods of severe network congestion—using the SRT protocol. Prism also supports several additional protocols, including RTMP(S) and MPEG-TS.
Configure In‑House or Remotely
Prism includes redundant power supplies (2RU only) and dual gigabit ethernet ports for increased network flexibility in dynamic production environments. Configure your device locally from your mobile phone, desktop, or remotely from your web browser through Core, Teradek’s cloud-based management platform.

Teradek Reliable Transport – Ultra-Low Latency Streaming
Teradek Reliable Transport (TRT) represents a groundbreaking advancement in streaming video transport over local (LAN) and wide area networks (WAN). Designed for resilience and ultra-low latency, TRT can deliver audio and video over single and bonded networks with a round trip time (RTT) of just 100 ms and 250 ms respectively. TRT is available on all Prism devices and is the ideal transport protocol for real-time point-to-point transmission over Internet.
Configure Prism From Your Phone
With the Prism app for iOS and Android, you can manage your Prism devices right from your phone or tablet. Fire up the app to configure your encoder, monitor and manage your feed, and review streaming stats in real-time. Lacking internet signal? The Prism app allows you to share your phone’s 5G or LTE bandwidth with your Prism device.
