Every stream fast, personal, and permitted
We connect the content supply chain to playback and monetisation, so a large catalogue feels curated while entitlements hold across territory, window, and device.
Rights-aware
entitlement resolved before playback starts
Sub-2s
start time on a typical connection
Catalogue-scale
discovery that stays relevant as titles grow
A catalogue is only as good as the rights behind it
Media platforms have to make an enormous catalogue feel personal while enforcing rights that change by territory, window, device, and subscription tier. Publishing pipelines, recommendation systems, and billing usually evolve separately, and the seams show as a title that is visible but unplayable. We join the supply chain to delivery so each experience is quick, relevant, and legally clean.
Rights are multi-dimensional
Territory, window, device, language, and tier all constrain a single title. Encoding that as flags on a record collapses the first time a deal is renegotiated.
Publishing is a race
Ingest, transcode, metadata enrichment, and QC all sit between a finished asset and an audience. Every manual step delays a release window.
Discovery decays with scale
Recommendations tuned on a small catalogue stop working as it grows. Without continuous evaluation, engagement quietly erodes.
From finished asset to a played second
Six surfaces that keep the supply chain, the rules, and the player pointed at the same version of the truth.
Content supply chain
Ingest, transcode, metadata enrichment, QC, and publishing as an observable pipeline with clear ownership at each stage.
- Ingest
- Transcode
- QC gates
Rights and entitlement engine
Deals modelled as rules over territory, window, device, and tier, evaluated at request time and explainable when a title is withheld.
- Windowing
- Geo rules
- Explainability
Streaming and playback
Adaptive delivery, DRM, and multi-CDN routing tuned for start time, rebuffer rate, and cost per delivered hour.
- DASH / HLS
- DRM
- Multi-CDN
Discovery and personalisation
Search, ranking, and recommendation with offline and online evaluation, so relevance is measured rather than assumed.
- Ranking
- Search
- Evaluation
Subscriptions and advertising
Plans, trials, dunning, and ad decisioning integrated with entitlement so revenue and access never contradict each other.
- Billing
- Dunning
- Ad decisioning
Audience and quality analytics
Playback quality, engagement, and churn signals in one place, connected back to the encoding and delivery decisions behind them.
- QoE
- Engagement
- Churn

Four frames from deal terms to measured delivery
Model the rights
We turn deal terms into a rule model that survives renegotiation, then validate it against your existing catalogue and edge cases.
Instrument the pipeline
Every publishing stage gets timing and failure visibility, which is usually where the first large wins appear.
Tune delivery to measurement
Encoding ladders, CDN routing, and player configuration are set against measured start time, rebuffering, and delivery cost.
Evaluate discovery continuously
Ranking changes ship behind experiments with engagement and retention guardrails rather than a single click metric.
What the audience and the P&L both feel
- Faster publishing from source asset to audience
- Entitlements enforced without playback friction
- Discovery tied to engagement and revenue
- Delivery cost per hour understood and controlled

What media teams ask us first
Start with a proven player core such as Shaka or a vendor SDK. The differentiated work is in configuration, adaptive logic, and the analytics you build around it. Writing a playback engine from scratch spends senior time on a solved problem.
Make every stream fast, personal, and permitted
Tell us where publishing stalls, where entitlement gets confusing, or what delivery is costing you. We will come back with a plan and a first frame to ship.
