Adtech lets you take video beyond its traditional limits with Steelbox, the only purpose-built solution to collect, distribute and manage vast quantities of digital video/media data.  Adtech’s Steelbox products understand both digital video and digital networks alike and eliminate the need for conventional NVRs with its own powerful recording capabilities for dealing with data-rich video traffic.

Steelbox delivers a complete video management solution that includes an intuitive, versatile front end with features and functionality like DVR controls on live video, unprecedented video aggregation and distribution abilities, and sophisticated yet easy-to-use storage and retrieval features.

The Steelbox solution allows your organization to share video across users and client devices by managing and distributing video across an IP network.  You can easily optimize a growing digital video network through a single, standards-based infrastructure-class network media appliance with minimal maintenance and space requirements.

Whether your needs consist of solely bandwidth management, or just a video stream aggregator, the Steelbox solution can meet your most stringent requirements.

Bandwidth Management: The appliance can translate media framing formats and network transport protocols with unprecedented speed and scalability, helping to solve bandwidth management and network access issues where conventional NVRs cannot.

Cost-Effective: The Steelbox network and media application features in a simple-to-manage scalable appliance to reduce ownership costs.
