Amagi has announced its largest upgrade to CLOUDPORT, the company’s cloud-native broadcast playout platform, as part of a broader strategy to expand from a point-solution provider into a comprehensive cloud broadcasting platform. The latest release introduces enhancements across scalability, resiliency, monitoring, user workflows and live broadcast performance.
According to the company, the CLOUDPORT update supports more than 100 concurrent feeds with 200-player multi-availability-zone redundancy within a single tenant environment. The platform enhancements are aimed at broadcasters operating across linear TV, FAST and live event ecosystems where uptime, scale and operational continuity remain critical.
Srinivasan KA, co-founder and president - global business, Amagi, said, “Over the past year, Amagi has prioritized a fundamental shift in how broadcast infrastructure is designed—moving beyond simple cloud migration to reengineering the core of playout operations. The latest set of upgrades directly impacts uptime, control, and scalability for broadcasters operating in high-pressure, always-on environments.”
The company stated that more than 250 features were shipped during FY25-26 as part of the CLOUDPORT evolution. A key addition is Amagi Monitoring, a proactive monitoring platform developed specifically for CLOUDPORT deployments. The tool is designed to identify operational risks before they affect live broadcasts by detecting issues including missing assets, schedule gaps, ingest failures, audio configuration problems and delivery anomalies.
Amagi said the monitoring platform also provides analytics on playout duration and asset processing. Since late 2025, the system has reportedly helped prevent more than 80% of potential disruption scenarios across deployments.
Security upgrades continue to form a core part of the platform strategy. CLOUDPORT has achieved SOC 2 Type II certification for the second consecutive year, covering infrastructure, access management and data protection standards.
The company has also focused heavily on resiliency architecture. CLOUDPORT has been engineered for 99.999% availability through redundancy across network, infrastructure and operational layers. Support for SMPTE ST 2022-7 allows hitless protection switching for RTP-based workflows, helping broadcasters maintain uninterrupted playout during network failures.
Infrastructure enhancements include active-active multi-region redundancy, multi-availability-zone deployments and an on-premises Disaster Recovery Box capable of supporting up to 72 hours of local continuity during extended cloud or network outages.
The upgrade also introduces changes to the platform’s user experience and operational workflows. CLOUDPORT now enables approximately 70% faster playlist publishing through show-level playlist editing and publishing tools. The interface includes a horizontal timeline view for conflict management and supports 16-channel synchronised playout from a unified dashboard.
Amagi said the workflow redesign reduces manual intervention and supports the management of regional and variant feeds at scale. The platform additionally introduces configurable widgets and streamlined operational controls aimed at lowering operator workload.
On the broadcast performance side, CLOUDPORT now supports ultra-low-latency JPEG-XS workflows, reducing transmission lag by up to 1.3 seconds. The platform also adds support for 4K HDR 10-bit video and Dolby Atmos audio across HDR10 and HLG formats.
The update includes AI-powered accessibility tools through Google Speech-to-Text V2 integration for real-time captioning and translation. Enhanced HTML-triggered graphics automation has also been introduced to improve on-air graphics management.
Amagi stated that deeper AWS integration, including Amazon EKS, GP3 storage migration and Karpenter-based autoscaling, has improved deployment agility, scalability and operational efficiency across the platform.
The latest enhancements are being rolled out as part of the CLOUDPORT 4.x release cycle.
