Working at the convergence of creativity and engineering. We do what we love: build tools that power the vision of thousands of creators, storytellers, engineers, and product teams.
From the minds that pioneered browser-based cloud production.
Back in 2014, we built Lightstream Studio and everyone thought we were crazy.
“It will never work. It will never be cost-effective. The latency will be too high. The fidelity will never be good enough.”
We proved the model. Others have followed. But nobody has spent more time studying the challenges and opportunities of cloud-native live production. No other architecture has been honed over nearly a decade.
