Overview
Patchbay is the live video authoring & enrichment platform for business, events & broadcast. Produce broadcast-quality town halls, conferences, webinars & linear channels without a technical crew - and pay for it with your committed AWS spend through prepaid Patchbay Units.
**WHY TEAMS CHOOSE PATCHBAY ** Every other cloud production tool assumes a technical director behind the switcher. Patchbay's cloud automation handles video switching, graphics, remote speakers and scheduling, so a marketing or corporate communications professional runs a show that used to need a specialized crew. The platform is trusted for mission-critical programming with a 99.99% uptime SLA, broadcast quality up to 4K HDR at 120fps, and zero data breaches.
**THREE WAYS TO GO LIVE **
- Core: receive, enrich & distribute a single live feed. Ingest via RTMP, RTMPS, SRT, Zixi, RIST or RTP; schedule concurrent and recurring programs; distribute to multiple destinations simultaneously.
- Simulive: schedule flawless live playout from pre-recorded media - from a 30-minute session to a 24/7 linear channel - with real-time audience engagement.
- Studio: combine live feeds, videos, graphics & remote speakers in a timeline-based run of show. Automated switching, green-room speaker management and on-brand themes, no GFX hardware or crew. Studio sessions include remote presenters and 2 additional HD outputs.
**ENRICHMENT & ACCESSIBILITY, ONE CLICK AWAY ** Order human or AI enrichment inside the platform: AI captions in 40+ languages (98%+ accuracy), live translation in up to 100 languages, professional ASL/BSL/ISL sign language with picture-in-picture output, human captions and transcripts, audio descriptions, and CEA-608/708 broadcast caption injection (included when you use Patchbay live captions). Meet ADA, EAA & FCC standards automatically.
**VOD ONLY? NO PROBLEM ** Bring your content library: AI & human captions and transcription, translation & subtitles in up to 100 languages, AI & human dubbing, audio descriptions, sign language, and AI insights (summaries, chapters, sentiment, topics) - plus pooled media storage. Buy a VOD Pack and enrich at published rates; no live production required.
**HOW PRICING WORKS ** Buy a prepaid pot of Patchbay Units (1 Unit = $1 of rate-card value) as a Live or VOD package and draw it down against everything: sessions, enrichment, add-ons. Larger pots carry larger discounts. If you run out, metered overage keeps your events running at $1.00/Unit - no hard stops, no mid-year renegotiation. Unused Units roll over on renewal per our rollover policy. Worked example: a 3-day conference with 20 sessions, AI captions on everything, translation on 20% of sessions and sign language on 10% runs about 8,600 Units. See the full rate card under Resources.
**ENTERPRISE-READY ** FIPS 140-2 Level 3 HSM platform encryption, AES encryption in transit, IP allowlisting, alignment with SOC 2 and ISO 27001 frameworks, and 24/7 support tiers up to named Technical Account Manager (TAM) coverage. Deep integrations with Kaltura, Brightcove, Panopto, Cvent, RainFocus, Bizzabo, AWS Media Services, and every major CDN and social destination. Patchbay is trusted by leading organizations from startups to the Fortune 500 across corporate communications, virtual & hybrid events, media & OTT, government, and education.
MANAGED SERVICES White Glove event support, studio production, managed on-site encoding, encoder procurement and systems integration - are available via private offer.
