Our take
Bitmovin provides API based software that enables media companies and brands to deliver premium video experiences to any device, without buffering or startup delays. It is the leader in online video technologies such as cloud-based encoding, adaptive streaming players, 360°/VR streaming and performance analytics. The company has been at the forefront of major developments in digital video - from building the world's first commercial adaptive streaming player to deploying the first software-defined encoding service that runs on any cloud provider.
The company was founded by the co-creators of international media standards, like MPEG-DASH, that are used today by Netflix and YouTube. Bitmovin’s customers include large media and technology companies worldwide, including ViewLift, RTL, Pro7Sat1, Bouygues Telecom, Cloudflare, Technicolor and Televisa. The company's Emmy win is indicative of the impact it's had on the industry, particularly during the boom of the video streaming industry bought about over the last decade.
