Products / Pravaah

Seamless packaging for your IPTV / OTT streaming needs.

Pravaah is a lightweight enterprise packaging engine. It ingests signals from the head end and converts them to HLS and DASH — ready for delivery across IPTV and OTT platforms, to every end-user application.

Broadcast-grade reliability,
without transcoding cost

Built on a zero-transcoding architecture, Pravaah delivers near-zero CPU overhead while supporting 250+ concurrent streams on a single node. For operators who need broadcast-grade reliability without transcoding infrastructure costs, it is the purpose-built answer.

It runs on commodity x86-64 Linux infrastructure and delivers simultaneous HLS and DASH output for end devices, for both live and on-demand video across multi-screen platforms.

Key features and benefits

What makes Pravaah different

Zero transcoding architecture

Pure transmux pipeline — the original signal is preserved end to end. No quality loss, no encoding latency, no thermal overhead.

Near-zero CPU overhead

250+ concurrent live streams on a single commodity server — a fraction of the infrastructure cost of transcoding solutions.

Simultaneous HLS and DASH

A single packaging pass produces both HLS and DASH, serving every device ecosystem from one ingest.

Multi-DRM support

Widevine, PlayReady and FairPlay integrated natively, with a built-in AES-128 engine and configurable multi-key rotation.

Live thumbnails

Automatic thumbnail generation for all live channels, enabling rich EPG and channel preview grids.

DVR and catch-up TV

Time-shift and catch-up recording built in — no separate DVR infrastructure required.

IP whitelisting

Per-channel or global IP whitelisting at the packaging layer, for network-level access control.

Infinite concurrent scalability

Output viewers scale independently via CDN integration — the packaging layer never becomes the bottleneck.

Commodity hardware

Runs on standard x86-64 Linux servers. No specialist appliances, no vendor-locked hardware.

Works with Tarang

The other half of the path

Pravaah handles ingest, packaging and protection. Tarang handles the catalogue, the subscribers and the revenue. Run them together and there is no integration project in between.
