Content created in Aximmetry can be live-streamed directly to YouTube or Facebook.
The integration between Bluefish and Aximmetry will provide the highest quality SDI I/O to Aximmetry 3D graphics for broadcast, live streaming, live event and projector/LED wall workflows.
All Bluefish Epoch and KRONOS video cards feature bi-directional SDI I/O and are compatible with a wide range of Thunderbolt expansion chassis’.
