MK/IO MediaKind's complete streaming solution built on the robust foundation of Microsoft Azure, offers a seamless migration path for Azure Media Services (AMS) customers to the MK/IO video streaming platform. Available through the Azure Marketplace, it seamlessly integrates with Azure Storage, content delivery networks (CDNs), and billing systems. With a similar user experience, API parity, and familiar pricing structure, content migration from AMS becomes a breeze, eliminating the need for additional ingestion or processing.

MediaKind Beam combines MediaKinds cloud-native media software stack with highly efficient processing appliances, offering optimized form factor and density flexibility, hardware acceleration, minimal energy consumption, and extensive connectivity options. Crafted from a modular software architecture designed to tackle conventional contribution and distribution models, Beam incorporates the necessary IP connectivity for seamless live video transmission between ground and cloud, enhancing functional versatility and quality in cloud-based production workflows.

At the IBC Show, MediaKinds NAB 2023 debut products Aquila, Atlas, PRISMA, Wave, and MediaFirst remain in the spotlight. These products exemplify the company's distinct capabilities and deep industry expertise, building upon a rich legacy of driving innovation in video workflows.

Aquila Broadcast and Streaming Headends offer a robust and versatile video encoding solution tailored for multiscreen video platform distribution using on-premises or public cloud infrastructures.

Atlas delivers three significant workflows from the Cloud: Live Catch-up and TV recording, AI-powered file-based encoding, and AI-based Upscale. Atlas leverages public cloud storage along with AI-powered services for next-generation Cloud DVR services. An award-winning proprietary codec implementation ensures high quality and high-speed file transcoding, while AI-based Upscale enables HD to 4K upscaling, repurposing old content libraries for modern screen sizes with pristine quality.

Wave is establishing a new benchmark in ultra-low latency and large-scale live streaming, offering a solution designed for the most time-critical content delivery applications. Wave unlocks new immersive experiences and monetization models for sports and live events.
