Eluvio has announced the commercial availability of its next-generation Eluvio Content Fabric – Bucharest Release and Application Suite — delivering advancements across three areas critical to broadcasters, sports organisations, and content owners worldwide: live broadcast feed distribution, direct-to-consumer (D2C) OTT streaming and full-stack monetisation, and inline AI video intelligence.
“Broadcasters and content owners face urgent challenges: satellite and legacy cloud distribution models are inefficient, costly and outdated, while video AI workflows remain disconnected from distribution and difficult to scale,” said Michelle Munson, CEO and co-founder, Eluvio. “The Bucharest release addresses these issues simultaneously through a unified zero-copy architecture. It replaces legacy economics with an any-to-any distribution model that preserves maximum efficiency at scale, while delivering the performance, reach and monetisation capabilities required for premium video. The future of IP video isn’t approaching, it’s already here, and we’re excited to bring this capability to the industry.”
The Bucharest release introduces the first commercially available means to replace legacy satellite distribution, fibre point-to-point connections, and ground-to-cloud multi-point egress solutions for live broadcast feed distribution. One decentralised Content Fabric distribution simultaneously serves every downstream taker — B2B broadcast affiliates and D2C consumer endpoints — from a single ingest workflow, with no file copies at any stage.
With Bucharest, the decentralised any-to-any routing architecture replaces point-to-point links for no traffic duplication at scale. Cost does not increase with receiver count and performance does not degrade as receiver count grows. There are no internal Fabric transit charges and no fees for unused distribution time, delivering satellite-beating economics with over-the-top flexibility, according to Eluvio.
It also offers sub-500ms global latency with sub-millisecond jitter and SMPTE 2022-7 decentralised multipath phase-lock synchronisation — broadcast-grade determinism delivered over-the-top, without centralised control or single points of failure. It’s the first such capability delivered over IP at global scale, says Eluvio.
Other features include flexible ingest from cameras, encoders, and broadcast trucks on-site, or via SRT for wide-area contribution — extending to any sporting venue or remote location – and end-to-end security and authorisation with multi-layer AES encryption with proxy re-encryption into per-session key spaces. Per-session authorisation enforces availability windows, geo-restrictions, ACLs, and entitlements automatically for both B2B SRT/TS and D2C HLS/DASH endpoints. Multi-DRM for D2C, SRT encryption for B2B is also built in.
Finally, a desktop and mobile browser application enables unlimited global multiview of live feeds at ultra-low latency, with brandable SSO, Fabric policy-enforced stream visibility, and built-in access controls for VIP, NOC, and remote production operations.
The Content Fabric has powered more than 600 live D2C streaming events and hosts hundreds of thousands of live, archive, and library titles for premium brands and creators. The Bucharest release delivers advancements across the full D2C stack, including an 8x increase in live stream cross-variant serving; segment delivery latency reduced to 20-30ms; up to 4x scale of DRM encryption variants; zero-impact global maintenance; and instant-on HFR streaming.
It supports premium next-gen video formats, including Stereoscopic HFR 4K (SBS and MV-HEVC), Dolby Atmos, HDR/HDR10+, full Widevine parameterisation, AV1 (upcoming), optimised asset structure for hundreds of language and subtitle tracks.
Powered by Creator Studio CMS, it benefits from no-code configuration of unlimited D2C OTT storefronts, B2B portals, and Pocket TV microsites, as well as instant browse and publish of zero-copy clips and compositions. Real-time analytics span B2B SRT/TS and D2C HTTP streams; a global receiver map offers per-receiver performance stats; expanded audience metrics; client-side QoS stats; and sales transaction reporting by currency, product, and country.
Complementing the Bucharest release is a major new architecture for universal dynamic video intelligence: Eluvio AI and the Eluvio Video Intelligence Editor (EVIE). Eluvio AI is the first commercially available inline, frame-accurate, multimodal AI built natively into a media platform — running inference on live and VOD content at frame and segment level with zero file copies, zero file movement, and zero transcoding, across open-source, custom, and third-party models.
