Videograph

Videograph is an all-in-one, API-first platform designed to revolutionize video streaming for businesses, developers, and content creators. It provides a robust suite of tools to manage the entire video lifecycle, from ingestion and processing to delivery, management, and monetization. By offering powerful APIs and SDKs, Videograph allows for seamless integration into existing tech stacks, eliminating the need to build and maintain complex video infrastructure. The platform is built for scalability and speed, featuring a transcoding engine that processes videos 100 times faster than traditional methods, enabling content to go live in minutes instead of months.

At its core, Videograph simplifies every aspect of video management. It supports a wide range of input formats and offers advanced features like 4K transcoding, Dolby Vision, and Dolby Audio. Its AI-powered capabilities, such as the 'Portrait PRO' tool, automatically convert landscape videos to portrait mode for social media, saving countless hours of manual editing. For broadcasters and OTT platforms, Videograph provides low-latency live streaming (as low as 4 seconds end-to-end) and a sophisticated monetization engine with Server-Side Ad Insertion (SSAI) for FAST channels, ensuring a smooth, uninterrupted viewing experience.

How to use Videograph

Videograph offers a straightforward, three-step workflow that can be managed via its user-friendly dashboard or integrated directly through its developer-friendly APIs.

1. Ingest: Begin by uploading your video content. You can do this through direct API calls, providing a web URL for Videograph to pull from, or by manually uploading files via the dashboard. The platform supports a wide array of formats like .mp4, .mov, and .m4v, and also accepts RTMP/SRT inputs for live streams.
2. Process: Once ingested, Videograph's powerful engine takes over. It automatically transcodes the video into multiple resolutions for adaptive bitrate streaming (Smart Streaming), normalizes audio levels, and packages it for delivery. During this stage, you can add subtitles, metadata, apply DRM for content protection, and even overlay watermarks.
3. Deliver & Manage: Your processed content is ready for instant global delivery via an optimized CDN. Use the generated HLS or MP4 URLs to embed videos in your applications or websites. You can manage your entire content library, create video clips from live streams, set up webhooks for event notifications, and track performance with detailed analytics on user engagement, viewership by location, device, and more.
