Design

Using Norsk Studio's intuitive graphical workflow builder, you can build a live event with resilient resources, create a full ABR ladder, and package to HLS, DASH, and WebRTC, all in a few clicks. Add DRM, recordings, live-to-VOD, and handoff to multiple CDNs and social media platforms, all in just a few more.

But why stop there? Build monitoring walls, implement source switching, and add graphical overlays and real-time subtitles. Norsk Studio's flexibility means you focus on your customer experience - not technology.

Deploy

You can be up and running in minutes - just press play to ​deploy to a cloud instance or run locally.

Need more scale? Norsk Manager delivers fault-tolerant, ​fully integrated infrastructure control. And Norsk is also ​fluent in Docker and Kubernetes, making it easy to manage ​in your existing environment.

Control

Every component in Norsk Studio comes with its own ​runtime controls that are automatically embedded into the ​UI. Some, such as the source switcher and monitor ​components, even include a custom UI.

What's more, many Norsk Studio components expose simple ​runtime APIs so that their behavior can be controlled by ​third-party apps.

Monitor

All workflows can be explored in detail in real time using the Norsk Visualizer. And Norsk supports both OpenTelemetry and Fluent Bit, making it straightforward to include in your wider systems monitoring strategy.

Integrate

Make Norsk a seamless part of your overall business with simple API control.

As well as the graphical controls embedded into the Norsk Studio UI, many components expose an OpenAPI-defined interface for simple integration into the rest of your workflow. Want to automatically change source when your event's start time arrives? That's just a simple HTTP request that you can even build using Studio's embedded Swagger interface.

Extend

Underpinning all of this is the the powerful Norsk Engine, with a comprehensive SDK that gives you fine-grained control over your media - still without having to get bogged down in the minutiae of media technology details.

The perfect platform to accelerate your line-of-business media application development, Norsk Engine enables you to build highly automated, scalable and differentiated media services in a fraction of the time and cost normally required.

Good on a bad day

If you want the greatest scale possible, Norsk Manager creates infrastructure to meet demand in a way that ensures your service runs without interruption even if there are issues with the cloud provider or on-prem servers.

Right-Time-Right-Place-1

Right time, right place

Choose where an event should be handled based on its unique requirements. If you want to deliver the lowest latency possible, how about WebRTC encoding at the venue, sent straight to a low-latency CDN? Or how about multi-source production in the cloud, so the content comes to your specialists rather than the other way around? With Norsk, it's up to you.

When Amazon US East went down, we had most of our infrastructure running there. Some companies were down for days. We were down for around a second. None of our customers even noticed!
