444Video The Full Picture

Bespoke broadcast engineering

We solve the hard part. You stay live.

We design and deliver bespoke broadcast solutions for organisations that need complex change without downtime - telemetry that shows you everything, software written for a specific workflow, and hardware built for the job in hand.

Talk to us

What we do

Three things, done properly.

Everything we build sits in one of these. Most projects touch all three.

01 · Monitoring & statistics

If you cannot see it, you cannot run it.

If it has a metric, we can pull it, store it, and put it in front of the right person.

Telemetry and dashboards for broadcast and IT estates - streams, network, power, satellite. One pane of glass, and alerting that reaches a human. The same stack runs a single contribution feed or a national DTT transmitter estate.

Proven on a live national service: rebuilding a UK multiplex operator's infrastructure cut operating costs by around half, took ten racks down to three, and put nothing off air.

02 · Bespoke broadcast applets

When the product you need doesn't exist, we build it.

Purpose-built software for a problem no product off the shelf solves - and run where it needs to be.

Transport-stream analysis, fault correlation, automation and reporting, written for one workflow rather than sold to everyone. Containerised and portable: the same workload runs on a cloud host, a rack server, or ARM or x86 compute - increasingly on the edge device itself.

What runs at the edge

03 · Hardware prototyping & development

Kit built for the job in hand.

Bespoke hardware built for the problem, rather than bought off a shelf and made to fit.

We specify, assemble and wire the kit ourselves - routers, modems, antennas, power - prototyped, revised and proven before it goes near a live service. Field-proven, not bench-proven.

What we build

Tell us what you can't see.

Something to monitor that you cannot see into, a workflow no product quite fits, or a piece of kit that does not exist yet.
