WINK Forge + WINK Media Router = Complete Platform

Forge handles transcoding. Router handles distribution. Together they power everything from Public Eye citizen portals to government agency sharing.

Adaptive Jitter Buffering - Dynamic buffering responds to real-time network conditions. Smooth playback through fluctuations, 24/7 stability.

Sub-Second Latency - Real-time situational awareness for command centers and emergency response.

Hundreds of Concurrent Streams - High-density transcoding for government and enterprise deployments.
