The suite
Bilbycast is three components that work together. Run all three for the full plant, or just the edge if you only need a media-transport gateway. Edge and relay are AGPL-3 open source; manager is licensed under the Bilbycast EULA with a free Community tier up to 10 nodes.
Media transport gateway bridging SRT (with multi-path bonding), RIST, RTP, UDP, RTMP, RTSP, HLS, CMAF-LL, WebRTC, SMPTE ST 2110-20/-23 uncompressed video + -30/-31/-40 audio/ANC, MXL, and SDI (Blackmagic DeckLink) — with FEC, hitless redundancy, and TCP/UDP port forwarding over encrypted QUIC tunnels.
Learn moreWeb-based management UI and API with real-time topology visualization, AI-assisted flow configuration, and a driver-aware action system that extends to third-party broadcast devices.
Learn moreStateless per-path forwarder for NAT traversal between edge nodes — carries QUIC tunnels plus native SRT/RIST and individual bond legs over a plain-UDP carrier, all end-to-end ChaCha20-Poly1305 encrypted with per-tunnel HMAC bind tokens. Optional viewer-distribution role: WHEP SFU + LL-HLS/CMAF origin to reach web viewers.

Runs on commodity off-the-shelf hardware. Edge and relay are free under AGPL 3; manager is free for up to 10 nodes. No sign-up wall, no credit card. The same binaries you'd run in production.
