Streaming without the hardware from Pulsar
Posted on Mar 6, 2026 by Pro Moviemaker
Pulsar is a new desktop-based software encoder from Repro made to replace traditional hardware encoders in live streams
Included with a Repro subscription, Pulsar runs on MacOS and Windows, with Linux support planned, and allows a single workstation to stream up to four simultaneous live video feeds.
This speeds up post-production streaming by moving encoding entirely into software, reducing the need for external hardware and cabling. The initial release supports 8-bit SDR pipelines and is intended as a drop-in substitute for common hardware encoders, with higher bit depths and HDR support scheduled for future updates.
It enables live streaming from tools including Avid Media Composer, Adobe Premiere and DaVinci Resolve, supporting real-time collaboration without complex infrastructure.
