+ SnapStream Add-ons
+ ShowSqueeze node
The newly designed SnapStream ShowSqueeze Node supplements the SnapStream appliance with additional processing power for workflows involving high volumes of transcoding and other tasks. It quickly transcodes recorded TV from MPEG-2 to H.264 or WMV, and can run up to 10 SD or 8 HD real-time transcodes simultaneously.
+ HD/SDI playout node
The SnapStream HD-SDI Playout Node converts recorded TV files to SDI, the industry-preferred option for broadcast-grade video. It can play out full-length recordings or TV clips from SnapStream directly into editing suites like Avid and Final Cut Pro.
+ Proxy Generation node NEW
The SnapStream Proxy Generation Node generates low bitrate, low-res proxy files for up to 20 simultaneous recordings. Watch your recordings using much less bandwidth, while clips and exports occur on the original high bitrate, high-res recordings.
+ Storage node
The SnapStream Storage Node supplements SnapStream with additional storage, from 4TB to 40TB, as a robust platform for building an extensive TV archive. It clusters seamlessly, so all recorded TV content remains actively searchable and usable within SnapStream’s ecosystem.
+ Third-party storage license
Expand your SnapStream library onto your own NAS or SAN for a per-TB license cost.
How to Get Started with SnapStream in Three Easy Steps
Activate TV Service
We connect you with our preferred cable provider. You make one phone call to activate the channel package that best fits your needs. Add SnapStream as an authorized manager on your account. We take care of the rest, from install and hosting to setting up your initial recordings.
Sign In
Once your install is completed in our data center – approximately 7-10 business days after subscribing for cable service – your Customer Success Manager will contact you with cloud login details. We start recording national broadcast TV content before your first sign in so you can start using SnapStream to its fullest on day one.

You made it! You’re ready to lead the conversation and share news faster.
Add users so everyone across your organization can start watching, searching, clipping, and publishing newsworthy TV moments as they happen.
