What specific issue does this solution address?
In modern broadcast environments, operators need multiviewer systems that can scale flexibly across on-premise, virtualised, and cloud infrastructures. Traditional multiviewers are often tied to fixed hardware, limiting adaptability and making it difficult to optimise for changing workloads. Pixel Power’s Prismon responds to this need by offering a fully software-defined multiviewer platform that can run anywhere, on customer-owned hardware, in a data centre, or in the cloud.
How were these workflows supported previously?
Historically, multiviewer systems were deployed as fixed-function appliances within facility walls. Scaling required more hardware investment, while shifting to cloud-based production environments introduced compatibility issues. Even hybrid environments struggled to manage consistent multiviewer capabilities across different platforms. Broadcasters often ended up managing multiple solutions, each tailored to a specific deployment scenario, resulting in higher costs and operational complexity.
What sets Prismon apart from other multiviewers?
Prismon is entirely software-defined, giving users complete freedom over how and where they deploy it. Whether hosted in a physical rack, in a virtual machine, or in a cloud instance, the product delivers consistent performance and feature sets. Its architecture enables broadcasters to dynamically allocate processing resources to multiviewer tasks, scale across distributed operations, and unify monitoring workflows regardless of where content is being generated or viewed.
Crucially, Prismon can operate in fully hybrid environments, with some instances running on local hardware and others hosted in the cloud, all managed through a central interface. This level of flexibility is increasingly important for facilities embracing remote production and IP-based content distribution. The software-first design also supports integration with existing monitoring and orchestration tools, making it easier to adopt without a complete workflow overhaul.
Who will benefit most from this solution?
Prismon is ideal for broadcasters, live production operators, and media service providers building out hybrid or cloud-based workflows. It’s especially valuable for engineering teams looking to simplify infrastructure while maintaining control over deployment strategies. With its flexible hosting options and centralised management, Prismon helps organisations future-proof their monitoring capabilities without locking them into proprietary hardware.
