Adaptive streaming

Smooth playback, even on a weak connection

Each video is encoded at several qualities. The player measures the viewer's bandwidth every few seconds and switches quality up or down, so the picture keeps playing instead of buffering. Illustrative bitrate ladder.

Monetisation

Subscriptions, ads, rentals or all three

Most services now mix models: a paid tier, a cheaper ad-supported tier, pay-per-view for big events and free channels to attract new viewers. We build the billing, entitlements and ad insertion for each.

Straight answers to what broadcasters, publishers and creators ask us most.

What media and entertainment software do you build?

OTT and live streaming platforms, apps for mobile, web and smart TVs, headless CMS and digital publishing platforms, podcast and audio apps, subscription and paywall systems, ad monetisation, audience analytics and AI tools such as subtitles, dubbing and recommendations.

Android and iOS, web, Android TV and Google TV, Apple TV, Fire TV, Samsung Tizen and LG webOS smart TVs, and other devices on request.

How do you protect content from piracy?

Studio-grade DRM (Widevine, FairPlay and PlayReady), tokenised URLs, geo-blocking, concurrent stream limits and forensic watermarking where required.

Can you handle live events with large audiences?

Yes. We design live streaming with multi-CDN delivery, auto-scaling and load testing, so streams stay up during peak moments such as matches or premieres.

Do you build publishing platforms for news and magazines?

Yes. Headless CMS with editorial workflow, fast SEO-friendly pages, metered paywalls, newsletters and ad slots, connected to your apps.

How can AI help a media company?

AI can generate subtitles and translations, dub content into regional languages, tag and search archives, cut highlights automatically and recommend content to each viewer.

Typically about 12 to 16 weeks for a first release on mobile and web, with TV apps following. A focused MVP can be quicker.
