Introducing Video Intelligence from @qencode, allowing users to get fully multi-modal understanding and search across all of your videos. If your catalog grows faster than anyone can meaningfully tag it, discover every insight in one query:

Here's what you get
• Search by text or reference image, with ranked timestamped spans
• Description of the asset, ready for the homepage or the press desk
• Categorization against your own taxonomy
• Moderation against your own violation list
• Custom prompts for anything else

Built for platforms operating at scale:
• UGC platforms tagging and routing at ingest
• VOD services activating archive catalogs
• Newsrooms surfacing footage for the breaking story

Video protection usually requires a lot of work, including working with multiple vendors, custom integration work, and managing all the challenges with getting things set up.

@qencode + @doverunner_inc provides an simple solution for DRM packaging, encryption, and forensic watermarking:
• Multi-DRM packaging from one transcode job
• DoveRunner KMS key fetch + AES-128 CTR encryption
• HLS for FairPlay and DASH for Widevine, PlayReady, and WisePlay
• Server-side A/B forensic watermarking with no client SDK
• Per-viewer CDN edge mixing for leak attribution
• Full demo completed in under five minutes via the Qencode API

Most video teams find out their infrastructure has a single point of failure during a live event. Sardius made sure they wouldn't.

• Latency-weighted routing that races each HTTP request across multiple origins
• @backblaze B2 absorbing ~80% of segment requests on global footprint
• Eventual consistency keeping multi-vendor storage close to one-provider economics
• Per-title encoding optimization reducing file sizes by 60% without measurable VMAF loss
• 3x faster startup times and proportional CDN egress savings

Video piracy is projected to cost $125B a year by 2026.

#DRM is on almost everywhere, but the losses are happening anyway. This is because DRM was designed for a threat model that more sophisticated pirates have already quietly figured out workarounds for.

We think this is more important than it sounds. Most teams haven't updated their thinking yet around what it means to actually protect their content in todays world.

Our partners at @doverunner_inc are running a webinar on June 17, lead by Erik Peña, that walks through what's changed and what platforms can do about it.

Check out "Why Your Content Is Still Getting Pirated — Even With DRM" om June 17 · 8:30 AM PDT / 11:30 AM EDT / 5:30 PM CEST"

Worth the hour if you ship premium video.
