Case Study: Augumenta achieves real-time industrial AR streaming with Videon VersaStreamer 4K

Real-time AR Streaming for customer support in industrial workflows

The customer, Augumenta, a Finnish software company specializing in industrial applications, needed to provide high-quality, reliable video streaming from fixed cameras for its remote expert support solution. Their challenge was to find an encoder that could meet their high bar for quality, compression efficiency, and reliability, which many cheaper options could not satisfy. They chose the VersaStreamer 4K product from vendor Videon to handle the video encoding.

Videon's solution utilized the VersaStreamer 4K to encode video from cameras connected via HDMI or SDI, producing a low-latency, high-quality stream delivered via SRT. This allowed Augumenta's SmartEyes solution to combine streams from smart glasses and fixed cameras, giving remote experts a comprehensive view to accurately guide on-site technicians. The result was a transformed remote support workflow that enabled problems to be solved more quickly and with greater accuracy on the factory floor.
