• Lossless collection and full data integrity for network traffic on 1G, 10G and 40G networks.
• A powerful data preparation tool that allows IT technicians to examine specific time periods and types of traffic.
• Accuracy means complete logging with no data loss and exact aspect ratio, as well as no packet loss for high-speed traffic.
• LiveCaptures Enterprise Network Analyzer provides tools for real-time network traffic analysis, troubleshooting, and logging.
• LiveCapture has everything you need for network forensics on fast and complex networks, including a network (Ethernet) tab.
• Award-winning LiveCaptures Enterprise software for real-time network traffic analysis and network forensic analysis of recorded traffic.
• Network settings are initially provided with an 8ns precision timestamp (known as a timestamp). GPS, PTP and other external time sources are supported.
• Integrated analytics including expert analysis and critical network performance metrics such as Top Protocols and TopTalkers to quickly identify potential attacks.
• Continuous scan that logs the network every 24 hours. Each LiveCapture supports forensic recordings with ex-post forensic analysis and monitors recordings to provide detailed expert statistics in real time.
• Flexibility helps organizations combine applications with different interface cards for a powerful and cost-effective configuration to monitor their network. Each LiveCapture can combine different interface cards with different speeds.
• Each installation is tailored to the size of the organization, which can then add and combine different applications based on the requirements of its forensic network. LiveCapture TL with OmniStorage disk array captures up to 128TB of network traffic without any data loss.

Live Capture Key Features

Automated Capture and Ingest of Enterprise Class

Multichannel IP and SDI capture solution that is scalable, automated, and can be used to directly ingest live or tape-based media into production, post-production, and broadcast workflows. In order to preserve the full source quality, Lightspeed Live Capture license processes video in 16-bit space. It also records in a wide range of mezzanine file formats to local or shared NAS/SAN storage, with delivery options to FTP, object storage (S3), Aspera, Signiant, and other services.

Assistive technology for Avid MediaCentral

You can check your captured assets directly into Avid or Adobe-based NLE systems with the licensed Live Capture, even while they are still being captured. No matter if your editors are working with Interplay, Media Composer alone, or Adobe CS, they can immediately start editing the large files that the licensed Live Capture has captured. Your turnaround time has just gotten quicker, so there’s no need to wait or alter your post-production workflow.

Wide Format Delivery Options and Support

Record using containers and codecs suitable for business workflows. Support for DNxHD/HR, AVC Intra, XDCAM, HEVC, MXF OP1a, Avid MXF OPAtom, and a host of other file types. Deliver files to open workflows using expanding capture, writing to onboard RAID, or using external network storage such as NAS, SAN, or object storage like S3.

Web Interface with Easy Usage

Designed with an easy-to-use, HTML5-compliant web user interface. Scales easily for the deployment of large systems and enables total control or remote management from any web portal. It is incredibly simple to set up ingestion and capture events thanks to built-in scheduling, gang control, recurring segments, DAI (SCTE), and Web Services API.

Conclusion

Networks are becoming faster and more complex, and security attacks are more sophisticated and harder to detect. In the future, business operations will undoubtedly be network-based, so IT security teams need constant access to detailed analysis of network traffic to keep their networks running smoothly. Security analysts need network forensics to provide access and critical information.

This licensed LiveAction product helps security teams with data analysis as it captures data at critical network points and reduces traffic due to data collection. LiveAction LiveCapture enables security teams to detect and prevent attacks very quickly, even if they occur on modern, fast 40G to 100G networks. This is done by using simple and complex data filters to store data in a universal and searchable format.
