Broadcast Head-End software

Broadcast software,
forged in Africa.

  • Eight systems.
  • One signal chain.
  • EPG, PlayOut, MUX, Monitoring, Storage & beyond.
  • Built by engineers who put 30+ African countries on air.
  • Designed to perform at 3 a.m., when reliability matters most.
  • Built for those who keep a continent watching.

The suite

Every bar is a system.

Eight systems in colour-bar order, each doing one job in the Head-End, properly. Four are running on the bench, two are being designed, and two more take their place when they are ready.

On the bench

Not ready to be named yet. It takes the white bar when it has earned it.

02In development

TransMUX

Transcoding · Mux · Statmux

Services in, clean multiplex out: analysed, re-encoded and multiplexed at a constant rate.

  • Every PID analysed, live or file
  • H.264/HEVC re-muxed
  • Stat-Muxing, CBR out
03Pilot

EPG Integrator

Electronic programme guide

Schedules from every content provider, checked, merged and delivered as one clean guide.

  • Validated against your rules
  • Versioned, with a full audit trail
  • 500+ Channels, One Server
04In design

CAS

Conditional Access

Control over who watches, without a licence bill bigger than the business it protects.

  • Proven cryptography only
  • Sits beside existing systems
  • Independent security review
05Pilot

CITB

Channel in the box · playout

Up to four channels from one server, frame-accurate, at a rate an analyser draws as a flat line.

  • Frame-accurate, with RUN log
  • NVENC or CPU, Auto-fallback
  • Recovers by itself, stays on air
06In design

VORTEX

Media storage

The library behind the channels: resilient storage that feeds playout directly.

  • Redundant media volumes
  • Ingest and media management
  • Feeds CITB playout
07In development

NEXUS

Operations & monitoring

One view of the whole Head-End, and a fleet view for the operator's headquarters.

  • Every service and device, live
  • Alarms that name the cause
  • Fleet view across sites

On the bench

The black bar closes the pattern. We'll show what fills it when it's ready.

Principles

Built the way a Head-End has to run.

Far from the nearest spare part, the software has to be the reliable part. Everything in AUCORE follows from that.

Runs at 3 a.m.

Watchdogs, automatic restarts and alarms that name the cause. When something fails, the system recovers first and tells you why.

Installs Right, Every Time

One command on a standard Debian server. Every change goes into the installer, so the tenth site is identical to the first.

Honest by design

Every action in an append-only audit log. Status that shows what is really on air, not what should be.

Secure from the first boot

Hardened services, a firewall per network interface, hashed sessions and no default passwords, anywhere.

Open standards

DVB, MPEG-TS, H.264, SCTE-35 and plain Linux. Nothing proprietary stands between you and your signal.

Priced for Africa

Professional Head-End software for operators who keep a country watching on a real-world budget.

Heritage

From the people who built Africa's Head-Ends.

AUCORE comes from African Union Communications in Pretoria,
the Systems Integrator behind digital terrestrial, satellite and pay-TV Head-Ends from island nations to multinational networks in Africa.

We have carried Head-Ends across the South Atlantic by ship, commissioned them through rainy seasons and power cuts, all over Africa, and kept them running where the nearest spare part is weeks away.
AUCORE is what we learned, written down as software.

Built by people who don't quit.
Running software that doesn't either.

Integration

Works with what's already in your rack.

No lock-in, no forklift upgrade. If it speaks the standards, AUCORE speaks to it.
Our engineers have installed and supported equipment from every major broadcast vendor.
