The hardware required to create and distribute high-quality video content in real time continues to evolve, but that advancement comes with a higher price and more required space. For applications such as live streaming or broadcast graphics creation, your ability to work is limited by your budget and, especially in the case of mobile production vehicles, the amount of workspace you have available.

Recognizing these unique needs of live production in the studio and on the road, NextComputing workstations are designed to offer maximum performance at a competitive price, all within a compact deployable chassis with integrated display for working wherever you need to be.

If space isn’t what limits your workflow, we also offer a selection of tower and rack-mount form factors that utilize our unique, powerful system architecture. All NextComputing systems are available with the latest, most powerful processors, GPUs, and storage configurations to suit any need.

With more video being viewed online every day, content creators and distributors are looking for new ways to engage the audience with unique web content without a huge technology investment. Although dedicated hardware switchers and encoders can produce great quality, their lack of flexibility and streaming capability are often barriers to entry for many producers. NextComputing's portable workstations and rackmount appliances offer the same capability as larger systems but in smaller, lighter packages — perfect for live event production from any location.

Real-time broadcast graphics require high-end computer hardware such as powerful graphics cards, video I/O cards, and very fast processors – hardware that is typically only found in large tower workstations or bulky rackmount servers. However, smaller, lighter systems often make sense for fast-paced production situations where hardware must be moved around to different event locations. Instead of shipping unwieldy workstations and hoping they survive the trip in one piece, consolidate your hardware down to a convenient compact / portable workstation without sacrificing performance.

For stationary environments where portability isn't a concern our powerful tower and rackmount workstations offer better functionality than a commodity workstation. Our rackmount systems also feature redundant power supplies, flexible I/O, and hot-swappable hard drives for a truly purpose-built live broadcasting solution.
