Noisypeak Playout

Seven minutes, and the channel is yours. You don't need a playout suite, an engineering team or a long contract.

200+channels on the platform

40+distribution platforms

36+content providers

7 minto put a channel on air

Noisypeak Playout is built for people who have never run a television channel. If you have a library on YouTube, on a drive or in an archive, you have everything it needs. Name the channel, give it a look, add content and check it over. The playout, schedule, guide and stream are built as you finish. It takes about seven minutes and there's no sales call: that is myfast.ch, our self-serve front door, from $249 a month.

The same platform runs 200+ channels on 40+ distribution platforms for broadcasters, rights holders and distributors. Archive channels, themed side channels and event channels are licensed or operated for them, with what their engineers expect underneath: SCTE-35 ad markers, multi-bitrate HLS and DASH, EPG, rule-based overlays and live insertion. Simple to start with, broadcast-grade underneath.

From your library to the viewer. One platform from content to consumer: ingest, understanding, scheduling, graphics and ads, delivery.

Always already playing

Viewers land mid-programme, so sessions run for hours rather than minutes.

Every hour carries ads

Ad breaks run around the clock, so the archive earns overnight and on weekday mornings.

Shelf space on the TV

A slot in the smart-TV guide beside the broadcasters.

Old content becomes new

An old film in an evening slot is programming; in a list, it is a search result nobody runs.

From a library to a channel, in five steps

You do not need to know how a broadcast playout works. First you name the channel and pick a genre. Then you give it a look: fonts, palette and on-screen graphics. You add content, either a cleared library or your own videos, and check it all on one screen, where everything is still editable. Playout, schedule, guide and stream are built as you finish.

From there each channel has one dashboard: what is on air now, what comes next, live and VOD slots for the day, the last assets that arrived. Sources, assets, graphics and ads are one click away. One person runs it.

Plan and account

Playout admin home: every channel with live preview, its sources, assets and hours of content.

Scheduling that runs itself

The Auto Scheduler fills a rolling three-day timeline from your content, 24/7, with zero touch. Every asset carries a priority from 1 to 10. By default the newest content ranks highest, so the channel leads with what just arrived and still rotates the back catalogue. You can regenerate at any time (after a big upload, say, or before a weekend) and the timeline rewrites itself.

Want a program at a fixed time? Place it; the scheduler flows around it. Programs are timed to the second and the preview shows what is on air with the time remaining.

Auto Scheduler: three-day timeline with fixed live slots and auto-filled programs, priority by asset age.

Content the system actually understands: Meta

Behind enrichment sits Meta, the Noisypeak content-understanding engine. It keeps one model of your whole library, covering every title, scene, face, keyword, place, organisation and topic in six languages, and scheduling, ad targeting and promotion all read from it. NPPE runs every new asset through its nine stages (Extract, Vision, Audio, Cue, Fusion, Reelgen, Refine, Localize, Keyart). It writes back a summary and tease line, keywords, the most interesting moments, three short promo reels, key art and metadata, 100% automatically, in about a minute per asset.

The same understanding drives the rest of the channel end to end: who appears and what is discussed decides where an ad break can go and which ads fit; topics and people cluster the library so the scheduler can build an evening that hangs together; the poster and the short that promote a program come from the frames Meta ranked highest. Subtitles and full language translation are coming soon.

Meta: people, places, organisations, topics and keywords across the whole library
Summaries, key moments, key art and three promo shorts per asset
Metadata in six languages; subtitles and translation coming soon
One understanding feeds scheduling, ad targeting and promotion

Meta keyword space for one channel: 27 topic spheres and 3,724 keywords (people, places and organisations) clustered across 866 assets.

Ads placed where they belong

Ad breaks are placed by understanding the content rather than by a stopwatch. The markers avoid dialogue and mid-scene cuts, so the break lands between thoughts and the viewer stays. Breaks are signalled with SCTE-35 in the output. Prism X, the Noisypeak server-side ad insertion, fills them per viewer against your SSP/DSP, live and VOD, so the same channel carries a different ad mix on every platform and device. Client-side insertion is supported where a platform requires it.

Content-aware ad markers, SCTE-35 signalled
Prism X SSAI: a different ad mix per viewer
Rule-based break patterns per channel

Broadcast-level graphics, by rule

Program announcements, Up Next, lower thirds, advisory and age badges, sponsor reminders and back-from-break bugs are defined once as rules. A rule has a trigger (program start, before or after an ad break, before program end), a repeat, an active period and a template. After that the overlays run themselves for the whole campaign window, and nobody has to sit at a graphics desk.

Overlay rules: trigger, repeat, active period, delay, template length and template per rule.

Live, from a studio or a browser

Want to talk to your audience or host a guest? Register a live source and schedule a live slot at an exact time. VOD programs fill around it and ad breaks run across both. Stream from OBS Studio or any encoder. For the simplest start you can broadcast straight from your browser with no extra software. Live and VOD are interleaved in one channel with one output.

Live slots to the minute, fixed in the timeline
OBS, any RTMP/SRT encoder, or the browser
One continuous output with ads across live and VOD

Any source in, every platform out

Playout runs on Media2Flow, the Noisypeak workflow transcoding platform. Whatever arrives, in any codec, container or resolution, is processed into six multi-bitrate renditions for HLS and DASH, with audio levelling, multiple audio languages and subtitle tracks.

The channel and its always-current EPG (your metadata or the system's) are then delivered to Samsung TV Plus, LocalNow, set-top boxes, mobile, web and smart TVs, with per-platform variants from one schedule.

Features

Seven minutes, and the channel is yours

Start from a YouTube library or a broadcast archive. Name the channel, give it a look, add content, and it is on air. You don't need a playout suite, an engineering team or a long contract.

Zero-touch scheduling

24/7 AI-assisted scheduling builds the most favourable timeline for your content and keeps it fresh, without a programming desk.

Ads that don't break the story

Ad markers are placed by understanding the content, so they avoid dialogue and mid-scene cuts. Each viewer is monetised with Prism X.

Deep content understanding: Meta

The Meta engine builds one model of your library (people, places, topics, key moments). Scheduling, ad targeting and promotion all read from it, 100% automatically.

Broadcast-level graphics

Program announcements, lower thirds and advisory badges are included, so the channel looks like real TV.

Live when you want it

Talk to your audience or host guests. Stream from OBS Studio or any encoder, or straight from your browser without installing anything.

EPG always up to date

Programme guide generated with full metadata, yours or the system's, published to every platform.

Your content, in every language

Metadata in six languages today, so your content travels. Subtitles and translation are coming soon.

Any source in, it just works

Media2Flow processes any input into 6 multi-bitrate HLS and DASH renditions; audio levelling, multi-language, multi-subtitles.

Delivered where viewers are, proven at scale

Samsung TV Plus, LocalNow, Roku, Fire TV, LG, set-top boxes, mobile and web: 200+ channels on 40+ distribution platforms.

media workflow platform

Media2Flow

Build the media transcoding workflow you mean. Every node visible, every job traceable, any scale.

250steps per workflow

53node types in 14 families

2–500transcoding nodes

111k+tasks run on the Noisypeak Cloud

Media2Flow is a visual media workflow platform for people who want to know exactly what happens to their files. A workflow is a graph of single-purpose nodes (download, analyse, map, filter, encode, package, upload), drawn on a canvas and connected pin to pin. A job is one input run through one workflow. What you drew is what runs, and every job shows the timing of every node.

Jobs arrive by hand, from watch folders on FTP, SMB or local storage, or by URL from S3 and HTTPS. The same platform encodes live channels against templates and exposes them per audience through distributions. It runs in the Noisypeak Cloud, on AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, Kubernetes or Docker on your own servers, and scales from two transcoders to five hundred.

One job through a Media2Flow workflow. Sources go in, run through a visible graph of nodes and come out as deliverables, with a dashboard that times every step.

Build it from blocks, see every step

Every workflow starts with an input and ends with an output. Between them you drop nodes from the palette and connect their pins. The palette has Input/Output, Logic, Audio Filter, Video Filter, Audio Encode, Video Encode, Package, Misc and reusable Fragments. Node options can reference workflow variables such as $In and $Out, so one graph serves many jobs. Fragments are sub-graphs saved once and dropped into a parent workflow as a single tile.

The editor shows the live graph of a production workflow: download → analyze → decide between software and hardware paths → scale, frame rate, letterbox and aspect-ratio filters → H.264 encode → HLS and MP4 packaging → upload, with Python nodes for custom logic. Workflows are grouped by folder, imported, exported and versioned by name.

Workflow editor: playout_profile_forced_aspect_ratio_v5_sw, a 30-node production graph with a software/hardware decision branch.

Logic inside the workflow

Workflows adapt to the source. The analyze node probes codec, raster, frame rate, duration and channels, and decide / mdecide branch on what it finds. Interlaced sources go through deinterlace, odd aspect ratios through letterbox, and anything above a size threshold goes to the hardware encoder. eval runs expressions and setvar writes $variables, so one graph serves a thousand different inputs and still produces the same deliverable.

When a chain needs something the palette does not have, a Python node runs your code inside the workflow with the same inputs and outputs as any other block. You always see what the workflow does, and nothing is decided behind your back.

analyze → decide / mdecide: branch on codec, raster, fps, aspect, size
eval expressions and $variables: one graph, many jobs
Python nodes for custom logic, inline
concat up to 16 sources; copy for pass-through without re-encode

The node catalogue: 53 nodes in 14 families

Each node does one thing; chains do the rest. Stream mapping (map/video, map/audio, map/text, map/timecode) splits a package into tracks right after the source. Video filters cover scale, crop, dar, deinterlace, fieldorder, format, fps, hwupload, letterbox and overlay; audio filters aformat, aresample, join and stereo.

Video encoders: x264 and x265 in software, qsv264 on Intel Quick Sync and ni264 on NetInt hardware, plus AVC-Intra, DV, ProRes and XDCAM MXF OP1a mezzanines. Audio: AAC, Dolby Digital AC-3, Dolby Digital Plus E-AC-3 and PCM. Containers MP4, MOV, MXF and TS; streaming packagers hls3 (TS segments), hls5 (fMP4) and dash, with optional subtitle tracks.

Logic: analyze probes codec, raster, frame rate, duration, channels; decide / mdecide branch; eval runs Jinja-style expressions; setvar writes $Variables; delay holds a package
Stream processing: concat stitches up to 16 sources into one timeline; copy passes through with no re-encode
Subtitles: ccinject adds caption tracks without re-encoding; whisper transcribes speech to captions
File operations: move and delete on storage URLs; notify sends e-mail or webhooks

Jobs, watch folders and logs

Watch folders poll an FTP, SMB or local folder on a schedule; every file matching a name mask becomes a job through the chosen workflow. One-off jobs are submitted by hand with a priority and workflow variables. The Jobs list finds any task by ID, title, workflow, state or date and shows outputs and per-node timing; Job Logs is a chronological stream of every per-node event, filterable by workflow, watch folder, phase and time range.

Dashboard on the Noisypeak Cloud: file-transcoding throughput by date, last workflows, last tasks and watch folders.

Dashboard and reporting

The dashboard is the control centre: total tasks with success, issues and failed counts, a monthly throughput chart with date range, an execution-outcome pie, job count by workflow, a hot-nodes treemap that shows which node types consume the processing time, and a filter by run-time option values such as codec, container or HEVC preset. Every chart exports as SVG, PNG or CSV; Prometheus and Grafana carry the same metrics to your monitoring.

File-size-versus-time scatter plot across the account
Status dots on last workflows, tasks and watch folders

Live channels, templates and distributions

A live channel binds an input stream (UDP, RTMP, SRT, HTTP/HTTPS or HLS pull) to an encoder template and an availability zone, with DVR depth and a passthrough toggle per channel. Templates hold the audio block and one or more video streams for ABR. One template can serve many channels, and a change propagates on the next restart.

Distributions expose a bundle of origin and live channels through a chosen point-of-presence, optionally restricted by a network whitelist. Each distribution is one audience, one PoP and one set of channels. Third-party HLS feeds are registered by URL and forwarded through the edge without re-encoding, side by side with platform-encoded channels.

Encoder templates with multi-stream ABR ladders

Where it is used

VOD library processing

Watch folders and workflows turn every delivered file into mezzanines, MP4 ladders, HLS and DASH packages with captions. This is the asset library behind Noisypeak Playout.

Broadcast mezzanines

AVC-Intra and XDCAM MXF OP1a, ProRes and DV masters, MPEG-TS pre-encodes and 5.1 AC-3 deliverables from one graph.

Conditional pipelines

analyze and decide route interlaced, odd-aspect or oversized sources to the right filter chain and to software or hardware encoders, by your rules and visible in the graph.

Live channels at the edge

Contribution feeds encoded on templates and exposed per audience through distributions and points of presence, next to third-party HLS channels.

Noisypeak Cell

Live encoding at rack density. One input to every output, in AV1, HEVC and H.264 on off-the-shelf Intel Arc.

230 / 160 / 32SD / HD / UHD ABR channels per X HS

20 GPUsin one 6U X HS chassis

16KHEVC processing · 4K AV1

55+JSON API methods

Noisypeak Cell is our X series of live encoders and transcoders (NP Cell XS, X, X2 and X HS). They run on off-the-shelf servers with Intel Arc GPUs instead of proprietary silicon, and that density changes the budget: more channels per rack unit, a lower cost per channel, and hardware you can buy anywhere. Cell captures SDI, HDMI and IP sources and produces multibitrate output for OTT, IPTV and cable, on premise or as a cloud service.

Every model runs UEN2, the same uniform encoding engine. One channel feeds HLS, DASH, SPTS/MPTS, SRT, RTMP, SDI and NDI in parallel, with SCTE-35, closed captions and DRM carried through, up to 4K AV1 and 16K HEVC. Cells are managed as a fleet: Cell IMC puts one API in front of all of them, places channels on the least-loaded GPU and fails over in seconds. Monitoring is Zabbix, Prometheus and SNMP, as a head-end expects.

How Noisypeak Cell turns one input into every output. Single input to multi-stream output: every rendition and every format comes from the same UEN2 pipeline.

UEN2: one engine from capture to packaging

UEN2, the uniform encoding engine, is the software core of every Cell model. It decodes any supported input, applies video post-processing and encodes AV1, HEVC/H.265, AVC/H.264, MPEG2 and VP9 with Intel oneAPI or Nvidia NVENC acceleration. Framerate is fixed to the source; linear time-code is generated; a look-ahead buffer is available.

Encoding parameters are exposed down to the bitstream: Baseline, Main and High profiles, CABAC/CAVLC, HRD buffer length and initial delay, frame-accurate closed GOP length, B-frame and reference frame counts, IDR interval and slice count. H.264 is accepted as AVCC or Annex B at the input and emitted as Annex B for multicast and HLS or AVCC for RTMP.

Video post-processing: scaling, cropping, deinterlacing, letterboxing
Logotype and text string overlays
Picture in picture, up to 4 streams
Static image preview generation
Video and audio passthrough per output
Different audio templates for each output of a single channel

Inputs: baseband and IP in the same box

Capture up to 12G-SDI and 4K HDMI through Magewell or Blackmagic add-on modules, or take IP sources directly: RTP/UDP SPTS and MPTS, HLS and HTTP progressive, RTSP, RTMP, SRT, NDI, SHOUTcast and UVC 1.5 webcams. SDP/Onvif covers IP security cameras. TS files run as file2live or file2vod. Input codec and protocol are adjusted dynamically; audio is accepted as AAC/AAC-LATM, MP2/MP3, AC3, EAC3 and Opus.

Outputs, captions and protection

Each channel publishes in several formats at once: HLS up to v7 with multi-language support, MPEG-DASH live and VOD with timelined manifests, Microsoft Smooth Streaming, RTMP with Akamai support, UDP unicast or multicast SPTS and MPTS, SRT, SDI and NDI playout, and TS or MP4 files to WebDAV, Windows share (Samba) or FTP. An HLS secondary destination point and WebDAV authorisation cover publishing redundancy.

SCTE-35 CUE-In/CUE-Out messages are detected, passed through or spliced. Closed captions are carried as CEA-708, EIA-608 and WebVTT; DVB subtitles can be burnt in; DVB PIDs pass through. DRM covers Apple FairPlay, Widevine via CENC and AES-128 static key.

Origin mode

In origin mode a Cell serves four streaming types in parallel from the same channel: HLS with separate audio and video TS renditions, HLS3 with muxed TS, HLS7 with separate fMP4 renditions, and MPEG-DASH with separate fMP4 renditions. Links can be tokenised with JWT (RFC 7519). In-memory start-over, content protection and access lists are configured per channel.

Up to 2500 parallel streams over a 25 Gb/s interface
Up to 20 Gb/s sustained delivery over 25 Gb/s or 2×10 Gb/s LACP

Fleet API: Cell IMC

Cell IMC serves one HTTP API in front of a fleet of cells, at /api/10/. Clients work with cluster-wide channel, output, template and overlay ids; a cell's own numbering is never exposed. Channel, output and overlay calls keep the node API's grammar, so no key is renamed or removed. Configuration writes are stored in the IMC first and then pushed to the cell, so the intent survives a cell that is down; writes to an offline cell are parked and applied when it returns.

New channels are placed on the cell with the lowest score, computed from free GPU load, average GPU load and channel count over the last 30 monitoring samples. A cell confirmed offline is failed over after failover_after_seconds (default 30 s); auto_recover moves work back when it returns. Per-cell channel and output ceilings are set manually or measured by a built-in capacity test. The IMC applies to Cell IMC 1.2.51 and later.

Outputs: HLS, DASH, RTMP or UDP, each with its own video and audio template
Overlays: image, text or picture-in-picture, with position and size
Primary and backup source per channel, MPEG-TS service and PID selection
Failover priority 1–10 per channel and per output
One call starts or stops every channel in the cluster
Cluster-wide and per-cell backup and restore
Per-cell health: reachability, version, uptime, licence verdict

Management and high availability

Up to 50 encoders are managed in one web interface with real-time monitoring, statistics and video templates. Zabbix, Prometheus/Grafana and SNMP integrations and more than 55 JSON API methods expose the same data to external systems. Clustering services provide n+1, 1+1 and n+m redundancy, with input source redundancy and publishing server redundancy in the standard image; see Noisypeak Control for the NP-RFS failover software.

Features

Density that changes the budget

Up to 230 SD, 160 HD or 32 UHD multibitrate channels in one NP Cell X HS. Off-the-shelf Intel Arc, not proprietary silicon: more channels per rack unit, less per channel.

server-side ad insertion

Prism X

Server-side ad insertion you can actually run: pre-rolls, VOD that starts instantly, a dashboard humans can read.

700 msto first segment

0 sVOD start-up wait (ads filled during playback)

2–50session nodes · 2–100 transcoders

200+FAST channels monetised

Prism X stitches VAST ads into HLS and DASH streams on the server, per viewer, live and on demand. If you know AWS MediaTailor, you know the job: markers go in, personalised manifests come out, ad blockers can’t remove the ads and the player doesn’t stall at ad breaks. Prism X does it in the Noisypeak Cloud or on your own infrastructure (bare metal, VMware, Hyper-V, AWS, Google Cloud, Azure) and bills a fair CPM: only ads that actually reached a viewer count.

It does three things the big-cloud alternative doesn't. It runs pre-rolls, so the first impression is sold too. It has a VOD lazy mode: the asset starts immediately and ad pods are requested while the viewer watches, instead of pre-fetching every ad before the first frame. And it has a session dashboard a human can read, with every viewer, pod and fill rate on one timeline. Prism X is the monetisation stage behind 200+ FAST channels on fastchannels.tv and myfast.ch.

How Prism X stitches ads into a stream. Ads are requested per session, transcoded once to match the source and stitched into each viewer's manifest.

How stitching works

Prism X sits between the origin and the viewer. The source channel arrives as HLS or DASH with ad markers (EXT-X-CUE-OUT/EXT-X-CUE-IN, EXT-X-SCTE35 or EXT-X-DATERANGE). Each viewer gets a session; the session node rewrites the manifest for that viewer, replacing the marked ad break with ad segments. Content segments and ad segments are served as one continuous stream, so the player sees no break and ad blockers have nothing to block.

Ad creatives are transcoded by the integrated UEN2 engine to strictly match the source signal: audio and video codecs, frame size, frame rate, bitrate, codec level and GOP structure. The conformed ad is kept in the ad-content cache (0 to 500 TB) so the same creative is not processed twice. The minimal first segment delivery latency is 700 ms.

Markers: EXT-X-CUE-OUT/IN · EXT-X-SCTE35 · EXT-X-DATERANGE
Per-session manifest with per-viewer ad pods
Ads conformed to source codecs, frame size, fps, bitrate, GOP
Transcoding on CPU, Intel QSV, NVEnc or Netint
Output as HLS/DASH, with DRM

Targeting and personalisation

Targeting runs in real time per session. The ad request carries viewer demographics, location, device type and content preferences, so two viewers of the same channel receive different ad pods. The session view shows the session data for each stream: user IP and country, user agent, origin URL and the rendition ladder of the master playlist.

Demographics, location, device type, content preferences
Each session identified and traceable in the dashboard
Prefixes configure many channels over one SSAI config

Live and VOD, with VOD that starts at once

On live channels the ad break is triggered by the marker in the stream and filled as it happens. On VOD, most SSAI systems first resolve every ad pod of the asset (pre-roll and every mid-roll) and only then let playback begin, so the viewer stares at a spinner while the ad server answers. Prism X runs VOD in lazy mode: the asset starts immediately, the pre-roll is served, and later pods are requested while the viewer watches.

Pre-rolls are first-class: the slot before the first frame is a sold slot, on live joins and on VOD, with the same targeting and the same counting as mid-rolls.

Live: breaks driven by SCTE-35 / CUE / DATERANGE markers
VOD lazy mode: instant start, pods fetched on the fly
Pre-rolls on live joins and VOD, counted like any pod
Same session nodes for live and on-demand

Ad decisioning: VAST, primary and secondary

Prism X speaks VAST and VPAID upstream to the SSP/DSP of your choice; in the Noisypeak FAST pipeline this is typically SpringServe or OpenX. A secondary VAST/VPAID source fills pods the primary leaves empty. The datasheet gives Adbutler as the example backup source, and Adbutler integration is available for evaluation out of the box.

Upstream protocols: VAST, VPAID
Primary SSP/DSP plus secondary fill-in source
Adbutler integration as reference SSP/DSP

A readable dashboard and fair CPM

The SSAI dashboard lists every session with start time, duration, last activity, ad time and average fill rate, and opens a per-session timeline: content in blue, ad pods in red, origin URL, rendition ladder, viewer IP and user agent. When a sales house asks why a pod was empty at 21:14, you answer with one click instead of a log query. Billing follows fair CPM: an ad is counted only when it was actually delivered to the viewer. Every session is logged to ClickHouse; run-time metrics go to Prometheus and Grafana.

Sessions list: ID, viewer IP and country, start, duration, last activity, ad time and average fill rate for each session.

Scaling and deployment

Prism X is delivered as dockerised software with Ansible playbooks for setup and updates. A deployment runs 2 to 50 session processing nodes and 2 to 100 content transcoding nodes on Ubuntu or Amazon Linux, in the Noisypeak Cloud, on bare metal, VMware, Hyper-V, AWS, Google Cloud or Microsoft Azure. The cloud option gives managed scaling; on-premise gives full cost control for operators who want the lowest CPM overhead.

Features

SSAI you can run yourself

Does what AWS MediaTailor does, in the Noisypeak Cloud or on your own servers and cloud accounts. Docker and Ansible, 2–50 session nodes, 2–100 transcoders.

VOD starts instantly

Lazy mode: the asset plays at once and ad pods are fetched during playback, so you don't wait for every ad to load before the first frame.

Pre-rolls included

The slot before the first frame is sold too, on live joins and on VOD, targeted and counted like any mid-roll.

A dashboard humans can read

Every session, pod and fill rate on one timeline. Finding out why a pod was empty at 21:14 takes one click instead of a log query.

Real-time targeting per session

Demographics, location, device and content preferences. Two viewers of the same channel get two different ad mixes.

Fair CPM

An ad is counted only when it reached the viewer. ClickHouse logs, Prometheus / Grafana metrics to prove it.

Primary + secondary VAST

VAST / VPAID to your SSP/DSP (SpringServe, OpenX or any other), with a backup source filling the pods the primary leaves empty.

Ads that match the stream

Integrated UEN2 transcoding conforms every creative to source codec, size, fps, bitrate, level and GOP; cached up to 500 TB. 700 ms to first segment.

Markers in, DRM out

EXT-X-CUE-OUT/IN, SCTE-35, DATERANGE in; HLS / DASH with DRM out. Ad blockers can’t remove the ads and the player doesn’t stall at ad breaks.

Many channels, one config

Prefixes configure hundreds of channels over one SSAI configuration. This is how we run 200+ FAST channels.

Noisypeak DRM

Licenses for every screen. Multi-DRM licensing and entitlements on the pipeline that already encodes and watermarks your content.

13 Apr 2027Google shuts Widevine CLS; migrate before then

2DRM systems: FairPlay, Widevine (own license servers)

CPIX · SPEKEany packager, any player

Offlinepersistent licenses supported

Noisypeak DRM is the licensing and entitlement layer of the Noisypeak platform. Its license servers decide, per request, whether this viewer on this device may play this content: a FairPlay Streaming KSM for Apple devices and a Widevine license server for Android, Chrome, smart TVs and set-top boxes. Both are Noisypeak's own implementations, independent of Google's cloud. It's the service BuyDRM or EZDRM would sell you, with one difference: the encoder, the packager and the ad inserter that produce the encrypted streams are ours too. For everyone else's, CPIX / SPEKE or a custom integration plugs in any third-party packager and player.

Policies follow the industry model and cover the full range each DRM system allows: license duration and renewal, rental and playback windows, persistent licenses for offline viewing, output and device constraints, key rotation. Around the license sits the rest of the protection: JWT (RFC 7519) link tokens and access lists validated at the origin, AES-128 for the simple cases, and an inaudible forensic audio watermark per channel, territory or viewer, for the day a copy leaks.

Noisypeak DRM: from source to licensed player. One encrypted packaging feeds FairPlay and Widevine; the license servers decide per request; the origin validates tokens; the watermark traces a leaked copy.

Widevine CLS ends 13 April 2027

Google is shutting down its Cloud License Service and the Proxy SDK path. Noisypeak's Widevine server does not depend on it; we migrate direct customers, and users of any other hosted or self-hosted CLS-based solution, before the date.

Any packager, any player

CPIX and SPEKE for third-party packagers and encoders; custom integration schemes where needed. Cell, Packetizer and Prism X are wired in already.

Every screen the audience owns

FairPlay covers iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, Safari; Widevine covers Android, Chrome, Android TV, Fire TV, Roku, Samsung, LG and most set-top boxes.

Offline included

Persistent licenses for download-and-watch are part of the service.

License delivery: FairPlay and Widevine

A player asks for a license and Noisypeak DRM answers. For Apple devices that is a FairPlay Streaming key security module with your FPS certificate. For everything else it is a Widevine license server: Android, Chrome, Edge, Android TV, Fire TV, Roku, Samsung Tizen, LG webOS and set-top boxes. Both are Noisypeak's own implementations and make no call to Google's Cloud License Service, which Google retires on 13 April 2027. They run as a service in the Noisypeak Cloud, behind one API, with content keys generated and stored for every asset and channel.

The streams they unlock can come from the Noisypeak platform: Cell and Packetizer encrypt HLS (FairPlay) and DASH (Widevine via CENC) from one encode, and Prism X delivers ad-stitched streams with the protection intact. They can also come from any third-party packager and player, through CPIX / SPEKE key exchange or a custom integration scheme.

Entitlements and policies

Entitlement is decided at license time, per request. The customer sets the rules within the range each DRM system supports, following industry practice: license duration and renewal, rental and playback windows, persistent licenses for offline viewing, output protection and device-type constraints, and key rotation on live channels. Playback links themselves are tokenised with JWT (RFC 7519) and checked at the origin, with access lists and start-over configured in memory. A leaked URL expires, and a revoked account stops at the next request.

Persistent (offline) licenses
Output protection and device constraints as the DRM allows
Key rotation on live channels
JWT-tokenised links, access lists, start-over at the origin

Leaving Widevine CLS before April 2027

Google has announced that the Widevine Cloud License Service will be permanently shut down on 13 April 2027. Many platforms and vendors built on this free hosted endpoint, directly or through the Proxy SDK. After that date, license requests to it fail and Widevine playback stops. Noisypeak DRM never depended on it.

We move you across before the deadline: our direct customers, and operators on any other hosted or self-hosted solution that still calls CLS underneath. Keys and policies are carried over, packagers and players re-pointed through CPIX / SPEKE or the integration already in place, and both services run in parallel until the switch is verified.

Shutdown date: 13 April 2027 (Google)
Affected: CLS users, Proxy SDK and CAS Proxy SDK users
Noisypeak Widevine server: independent of CLS
Migration for direct customers and users of other CLS-based solutions
Parallel run until verified

Forensic watermarking

Noisypeak's digital watermarking applies inaudible encrypted packets to the content so that a copy can later be identified per channel, per territory or down to a specific end-user. It can be applied to an existing content item, to a specific stream, or to an individual user copy during delivery, and can be combined with the transcoding and DRM steps of the Noisypeak Cloud. The mark is not lost when the signal is converted or compressed, and it is robust to copying including camripping.

Compared with usual embedding procedures: generating individual copies takes less time and compute; the secret watermark key is not needed to produce individually marked copies; the unmarked original can be retrieved; and because watermarks are encrypted, unauthorised third parties cannot check for their presence. Noisypeak provides the forensic tools and services to identify the source of a leak.

Watermark quality

Audibility was assessed with the commercial OPERA tool implementing the PEAQ model, on 180 audio tracks: pop, classical, audio book, interview and camera recordings. The objective difference grade (ODG) scale runs from 0 (inaudible) to −4 (very annoying); the watermarked set scores a median ODG of −1.5.

Median ODG −1.5

Where it sits in the pipeline

Protection is the stage between encoding and distribution: Cell or Media2Flow encode, Packetizer or the Cell origin package and encrypt, Prism X stitches ads without breaking the encryption, and Noisypeak DRM hands out the licenses to B2B2C OTT platforms, set-top boxes, mobile, PC and smart TV. The origin serves up to 2,500 parallel streams and 20 Gb/s per node, tokens validated on every request.

Features

Licenses for every screen

FairPlay KSM and Widevine license server, both Noisypeak's own implementations. One API covers every device your audience owns.

A home before Widevine CLS closes

Google shuts its Cloud License Service on 13 April 2027. Our Widevine server never depended on it, and we migrate you whichever solution you are on today.

Entitlements as well as keys

Duration, renewal, rental and playback windows, device and output constraints, key rotation. You set them within what each DRM allows, and they're decided per request.

Offline included

Persistent licenses for download-and-watch are included in the service.

Any packager, any player

CPIX / SPEKE key exchange for third-party packagers and encoders, plus custom integration schemes where needed, so it works beyond Noisypeak outputs.

Already wired to the pipeline

Cell, Packetizer and Prism X encrypt for these license servers out of the box; everyone else connects over CPIX / SPEKE.

A watermark that names the leaker

Inaudible, encrypted audio mark per channel, territory or viewer; survives re-encoding and camripping. Forensic tools identify the source.

Links that expire, lists that decide

JWT (RFC 7519) validated at the origin on every request; access lists, start-over, time-boxed URLs.

Marked copies at scale

Individual watermarked copies cost less time and compute than usual embedding, need no secret key to produce; the original is recoverable.

Measured, not claimed

Watermark audibility tested with OPERA / PEAQ on 180 tracks across five content types: median ODG −1.5.

Noisypeak Packetizer

Packager, origin and DVR in one node. Any compressed stream comes in and leaves in every format, without re-encoding.

0re-encodes (video passed through)

4streaming formats from one input, in parallel

2,500parallel streams per node

20 Gb/ssustained delivery per node

Noisypeak Packetizer sits between a broadcast head-end and the internet. A compressed stream arrives (DVB/IPTV multicast TS, SRT, RTMP, HLS, NDI or a TS file) and leaves as HLS (TS and fMP4), MPEG-DASH, Microsoft Smooth Streaming and SPTS/MPTS multicast, all at the same time, with the video untouched. With no transcoder in the path there is no quality loss and no GPU, and a channel costs a fraction as much.

The same node is the origin and the DVR: it serves the streams itself with time-shift, catch-up and start-over, validates JWT tokens and access lists on every request, and sustains 2,500 parallel streams and 20 Gb/s. SCTE-35 cues survive the trip for Prism X to monetise; DVB subtitles are burnt in or turned into WebVTT by OCR; CEA-708 / EIA-608 captions are carried. It runs on Noisypeak Cell hardware, as a software licence, or in the Noisypeak Cloud.

How Noisypeak Packetizer repacks a channel. One input is demuxed once and written to every output format in parallel; the origin serves them with DVR and tokens.

No re-encoding

Video passes through bit-exact. The picture your head-end made is the picture the viewer gets.

Three boxes become one

Packager, origin and DVR buffer on one node. That means one licence, one thing to monitor and one place to look when a stream misbehaves.

Every player, one input

HLS for Apple, DASH for Android and TVs, Smooth for legacy players and multicast for the STB fleet, all at the same time.

Head-end signalling intact

SCTE-35, DVB subtitles, closed captions and PIDs come through, so downstream ad insertion and accessibility keep working.

One input, every output, in parallel and without re-encoding

Packetizer is the origin mode of the UEN2 engine. From a single input it produces four streaming types at once: HLS with audio and video renditions as separate TS tracks, HLS3 with audio and video muxed in TS, HLS7 with separate fMP4 renditions, and MPEG-DASH with separate fMP4 renditions and a timelined manifest. It also emits Microsoft Smooth Streaming, SPTS/MPTS over UDP unicast or multicast, RTMP (Akamai support) and TS or MP4 files. HLS goes up to version 7 with multi-language support and a secondary destination point.

HLS (TS, separate renditions) · HLS3 (muxed TS) · HLS7 (fMP4)
MPEG-DASH Live and VOD, timelined manifest
Microsoft Smooth Streaming
UDP unicast/multicast SPTS and MPTS
RTMP with Akamai support · TS and MP4 files
Video passthrough

DVR: time-shift, catch-up, start-over

The origin keeps a recording buffer per channel, so the same node that packages the live stream also serves it time-shifted, as catch-up, or from the start of the current programme (start-over). Start-over, content protection and access lists are advanced configurations held in memory on the origin. When Packetizer is used behind Media2Flow, the DVR depth is set per live channel when the channel is created.

SCTE-35 and captions

SCTE-35 CUE-IN/CUE-OUT messages are detected in the input and either passed through to the HLS/DASH manifests, where Prism X picks them up for ad insertion, or used to splice the stream. DVB subtitles are either burnt into the picture or converted by OCR into WebVTT tracks; closed captions are carried as CEA-708, EIA-608 or WebVTT. DVB PIDs can be passed through unchanged, and individual streams of an HLS or SPTS source can be skipped.

Origin performance and protection

In origin mode a node delivers up to 2,500 parallel streams over a 25 Gb/s interface and up to 20 Gb/s sustained traffic over 25 Gb/s or 2×10 Gb/s LACP interfaces. Links are tokenised with JWT (RFC 7519); access lists and content protection are applied in memory. The NP-RPK-EMB licence adds Widevine (CENC) and FairPlay encryption to the repacked HLS/DASH output; the full DRM set is covered by Noisypeak DRM.

Publishing and integration

Multiple formats are published simultaneously: direct to CDNs, to WebDAV (with authorization) or Windows shares (Samba), FTP, HTTP, RTMP, YouTube Live and Facebook Live. In Media2Flow, Packetizer channels show up as live channels (input UDP, RTMP, SRT, HTTP/HTTPS or HLS pull, bound to an encoder template, availability zone and DVR depth). They reach audiences through Distributions, which give one point of presence, one set of origin and live channels and one network whitelist. Externally encoded HLS feeds can be registered as third-party channels and served from the same edge.

Features

Any input, every format, no re-encode

TS multicast, SRT, RTMP, HLS, NDI or TS files in; HLS (TS / fMP4), DASH, CMAF, Smooth Streaming and SPTS/MPTS out, in parallel, with the video passed through.

Origin and DVR on the same node

Time-shift, catch-up and start-over from the origin buffer, so you don't need a separate recorder or origin server.

2,500 streams, 20 Gb/s per node

Origin mode serves viewers directly over 25 Gb/s or 2×10 Gb/s LACP; JWT (RFC 7519) tokens and access lists checked on every request.

SCTE-35 through, ads downstream

CUE-IN / CUE-OUT are detected and either passed into the HLS/DASH manifests or spliced. Prism X picks them up for per-viewer ad insertion.

Subtitles that survive the internet

DVB subtitles burnt in or converted to WebVTT by OCR; CEA-708, EIA-608 and WebVTT closed captions carried.

Publish everywhere at once

CDNs, WebDAV, Samba, FTP, HTTP, RTMP, YouTube Live and Facebook Live from the same channel.

Protected on the way out

Widevine (CENC) and FairPlay encryption with the NP-RPK-EMB licence; AES-128; thumbnail generation included.

Fits the fleet

Appears as a live channel in Media2Flow with DVR depth per channel; distributions per audience with PoP and whitelist; third-party HLS forwarded unchanged.

Runs where the head-end is

On Noisypeak Cell hardware, as a software licence on your servers, or in the Noisypeak Cloud.

stream verification · coming soon

Noisypeak Control

Watches your streams the way a player does and tells you what is wrong, with the evidence. Coming soon.

100+checks: transport, manifest, container, content, ads, alignment

4levels by playback impact (red: not playable)

3tiers per channel: playlist · adaptive-high · full

Soonnext release: accounts, trial and slots

Noisypeak Control is the DigitalEye Stream Verifier, now in its final release before production. Give it a master playlist or an MPD and it does what a player does: it reloads the manifests, downloads the segments, probes and decodes them and extracts a frame per chunk. Then it tells you what a player never will: whether every tag, timing, bit rate, GOP, colour flag, loudness level and ad marker is what the specification and your platforms expect. When a check fails, it raises an alarm with the evidence: the manifest as it was, the segment record, the exact ffprobe command and its output.

Severity follows playback, not pedantry: a stream that plays fine on real players is never red. Yellow is a deviation players cope with, orange is really wrong, red is not playable or not reachable. One compact row per channel, a window per channel for the long watch, tiers per channel so a hundred channels cost what a hundred channels should. Launching soon as a hosted service with a 14-day trial; custom locations, SLA and on-premise on request.

What the verifier does with a channel. Playlist tier reads manifests only; adaptive-high adds segments and decoding like a player on a good link; full checks every rendition and proves the ladder is aligned.

It sees what the viewer sees

It checks manifests, segments, decoded frames and audio levels, which goes well beyond pinging a URL.

Evidence, not opinions

Every raise keeps the manifest, the diff, the segment and the ffprobe output. Reproduce the finding yourself.

Red means unplayable

Severity by playback impact. Spec deviations that players tolerate stay yellow; nobody is paged for a missing tag.

Pays per channel, not per rack

Three tiers per channel; paused channels free the slot; boost a channel to full inspection for a launch and back.

One row per channel, one window for the long watch

The channel list shows one compact row per stream: name, what it plays (HLS v3 TS, HLS v7 fMP4, DASH fMP4 $Time$), tier, the tags the verifier detected (codecs, HDR, captions, DRM, ad markers), the health strip over the selected range, the ladder with its live-edge lag, and the last event. Filter by text or by tag logic, sort worst-first, act on many channels at once. Groups are saved filters.

Click a channel and it opens in its own window with Summary (what the stream is and who is behind it: packager, origin, CDN and ad stitcher, recognised from signatures), Preview (the latest frame of every rendition side by side), Renditions, Health, Stats and Events. To watch a few channels for hours, put several windows side by side.

Channel list: protocol badge, tier, detected tags, health strip over the range, ladder and lag, last event.

100+ checks, each with its rule

Every check states what it verifies, what a failure means for viewers, where the rule comes from (RFC 8216, the DASH-IF timing model, Apple's HLS authoring specification or operational practice) and how it is evaluated: raised after N failing polls, cleared after M passing ones, with a start-up phase so a restarting channel isn't red for a minute. Groups: transport and HTTP, live manifest, HLS playlist, DASH MPD, segment download, MPEG-TS and fMP4/CMAF container, stream probe, video content, audio content, ad markers, rendition alignment, verifier health.

Among them: publish jitter and stale playlists, PDT gaps and drift, bit rate against BANDWIDTH and AVERAGE-BANDWIDTH, GOP and IDR regularity, colour signalling, interlaced sources, A/V skew, black and frozen pictures, silence and loudness (ATSC A/85 or EBU R 128 targets), SCTE-35 CUE-OUT/IN consistency and alignment to IDR frames, DASH timeline and UTC timing, AES-128 key fetch, and whether all renditions show the same moment.

Thresholds per channel: tolerances, expected colour, loudness target
Shun an alarm you know about: still recorded, no longer colours the channel
Change-type alarms stay visible for an hour so a one-off change cannot pass unseen

Health per rendition: measured peak and average bit rate against the declared BANDWIDTH, with the exact threshold that raised the alarm.

Evidence you can reproduce

An alarm without evidence is an argument; an alarm with evidence is a ticket. Every raise and clear is an event; click it and you get the manifest as it was and the previous one with the difference, the segment record, and for segment-level alarms the exact ffprobe and ffmpeg commands that were run and their output. Send it to the encoder vendor or the CDN as it is.

Events: alarms in range with share of raises and active renditions; each row opens its evidence.

Tiers, slots and boosts

Playlist reads every manifest on every reload and downloads nothing: availability and manifest hygiene for many channels at low cost. Adaptive-high also downloads the segments one at a time, like a player on a good link (mostly the top rendition, now and then a lower one), and probes and decodes them. Full does everything on every rendition and compares the first frame of each segment across the ladder. It is the only tier that proves the ladder is aligned. A slot licenses one active channel of its tier; pausing a channel frees the slot. Every period includes boost hours to lift any channel to a higher tier for a launch or a hunt.

Playlist · Adaptive-high · Full, set per channel
Slots per tier, prorated changes, paused channels free the slot
Boost hours included; boost packs on top
VOD playlists and static MPDs played once, twice or in a loop

Encoder fleet redundancy: NP-RFS

For Noisypeak Cell fleets, Control also carries NP-RFS: 1+1, n+1 and n+m redundancy for clusters of 2 to 100 devices, up to 20 clusters per instance. Each primary's configuration is replicated to central storage; when a primary fails its standby takes the channels, a publishing gate ensures primary and backup never publish the same output at once, and return to the primary is automatic or manual. Zabbix, Prometheus/Grafana and SNMP see the whole fleet.

Features

Watches like a player, reports like an engineer

Reloads manifests, downloads and decodes segments and extracts frames, then checks every tag, timing, bit rate, GOP, colour flag, loudness and ad marker against the spec.

100+ checks, each with its rule

RFC 8216, DASH-IF, Apple HLS spec or practice: transport, manifest, container, content, ad markers, rendition alignment.

Evidence on every alarm

The manifest and its diff, the segment record, the exact ffprobe output. Reproduce it, or forward it to the vendor as is.

Red means unplayable

Severity by playback impact: yellow players cope, orange really wrong, red not playable or not reachable. Shun what you already know.

Ad markers verified

SCTE-35 in HLS tags, MPD events and emsg: CUE-OUT/IN pairs, durations, PDT alignment, IDR alignment. You see the problem before Prism X has to find out.

Loudness and silence

ATSC A/85 or EBU R 128 targets, true peak and silence, per rendition, continuously.

Ladder alignment proven

Full tier compares the first frame of each segment across renditions: the only way to know all renditions show the same moment.

Who is behind the stream

Packager, origin, CDN and ad stitcher recognised from signatures, which helps when the stream isn't yours.

Per-channel tiers

Playlist, adaptive-high, full; slots, boosts, pause. A hundred channels cost what a hundred channels should.

Fleet redundancy for Cell

NP-RFS: 1+1, n+1, n+m failover for clusters of 2–100 encoders, config replicated, Zabbix / Prometheus / SNMP.
