Who we are
444Video builds bespoke, integrated broadcast solutions by combining enterprise-grade systems with deep domain expertise. We are deliberately small, which is why we take on work where the detail matters and the deadline does not move.
Complex broadcast transport and infrastructure work is high-risk, increasingly niche, and hard to resource. Mistakes mean downtime on live services. What clients usually need is not another supplier but someone who will own the whole thing end to end and make a difficult transition feel under control.
That is the job we take. We blend enterprise IT, broadcast engineering and an agile way of working - three disciplines that rarely sit in the same team - and that combination is where the efficiency and resilience gains come from.
Founder and Technology Lead
Ten years-plus delivering complex broadcast network projects for Tier 1 global customers. CCNA, and drawn to data analysis. Keeps a private downlink facility in his garden in the Wye Valley for transport-stream work, which tells you most of what you need to know.
Head of Services and Product
A decade in complex AV and video-conferencing ecosystems, from public address to multi-camera live streaming. Now runs our operational side - service contracts, containerised infrastructure, monitoring stacks - and builds most of the hardware that leaves the workshop.
Two people is not an accident. It means the person who designed your system is the person who answers when something happens to it.
Deep knowledge of the UK DTT network and multiplex operations, a specialism where genuine expertise is increasingly limited. Broadcast IP transport across SRT, Zixi, SpeedFusion, RTP and MPEG-TS. Transport-stream diagnostics and TR 101 290 analysis, with written reports for manufacturers and broadcasters. And an interest in observability that our clients would probably describe as excessive.
We build on and alongside a named ecosystem rather than pretending we invented everything: Peplink, Starlink, Zixi, TAG Video Systems, Grafana Labs, Frontier and Webbing among others. Where a partner did the work, we say so.
Something to monitor that you cannot see into, a workflow no product quite fits, or a piece of kit that does not exist yet.
