Patchbay is a video authoring and enrichment platform for business, events and broadcast. More than 30,000 events a year run on it, from internal town halls to multi-day flagship conferences.
Most teams running a global all-hands or a flagship conference are solving a broadcast problem with a conferencing tool. That works until it doesn't — the feed drops mid-keynote, the recording comes back unusable, and the remote audience watches a frozen slide. Patchbay was built by broadcast engineers and technical directors who spent years in control rooms where "the stream failed" was not a survivable outcome.
Three ways to produce:
Core — ingest a live feed over RTMP, RTMPS, SRT, Zixi, RIST or RTP, encode up to 4K HDR, enrich it, and distribute to multiple destinations at once. Scheduling, redundancy and error mitigation are automated, and automated slates cover input loss.
Simulive — schedule pre-recorded video to play out as genuine live programming, in any time zone. Drag-and-drop playlists, stitched sessions, breaks and intro/outro loops, graphics triggered on schedule, and anything from a 30-minute session to a 24/7 linear channel.
Studio — build a run of show on a timeline, combining live feeds, pre-recorded clips, graphics and remote speakers from a browser. Green room, speaker prep, on-brand themes, and central or automated switching.
Enrichment, built-in:
Captions in 40+ languages (human or AI), ASL/BSL/ISL sign language interpretation, audio description and dubbing — scheduled in a few clicks inside the same pipeline, not a separate production exercise and not a second vendor. Supports ADA, EAA and FCC accessibility requirements.
Distribution:
Concurrent delivery to social platforms (YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, X, Twitch, Instagram, TikTok, Vimeo), CDNs (Akamai, Cloudflare, Fastly, AWS, Azure, Google), video platforms (Kaltura, Brightcove, Panopto, Vbrick, Qumu) and event platforms (Cvent, Bizzabo, RainFocus, ON24, Teams). Output encode settings are configurable per destination.
Managed services:
Studio Production, On-Premise Encoding, Field Contribution, and White Glove Event Support — encoder configuration, dry runs, broadcast workflow guidance and real-time monitoring during the event, backed by a 24/7 NOC. On-site, remote, or both, in any major city worldwide.
Security:
Data protected in transit and at rest with FIPS L3 HSM. SOC 2 Type I.
Who it's for:
Corporate communications and internal comms teams, conference and event producers, production agencies, and media organizations — anywhere non-technical producers need broadcast-grade output without an agency day rate or an in-house control room.
You don't have to start with a platform decision. Start with one event.
