Broadcast engineering with love
Since 2008, our team focuses on automation for broadcasters and post-production houses.
Open-source software creates a cornerstone of our work, and we are proud of it. While developing our own software, we also provide integration and training services for other OSS products.
We solve problems. Our goal is to make processes automated and as a result reduce running costs.
Thanks to our experience we obtain mastery over optimization and fixing workflows regardless of suppliers and existing technology.
Manifesto
- Keep it simple. Art is the elimination of the unnecessary.
- Avoid vendor lock-ins; your data are yours.
- Each workflow component may be redesigned or its building blocks replaced.
Our software
Our flagship product - Nebula - is an open-source media asset management (MAM) and broadcast automation system.
Powerful and stable enough to run 24/7 multichannel TV or radio broadcast or OTT services, both on-premises or in a shared environment with great emphasis on simplicity, flexibility, and speed.
Our open, modular architecture allows maximum reusability of the existing technology on-site. We learn from each and every setup and work to share the knowledge we acquired during over a decade of experience.
Integration
Choosing the right tool set may be difficult in the case of highly specialized software. We rely on proven, reliable and mature products trusted by professionals worldwide.
