Haivision

Haivision is a provider of media management and video streaming solutions that specializes in enterprise video content management, IP video delivery, and cloud networking services. The company's core product lineup includes the Makito series of edge encoding and decoding products, introduced in September 2009. In 2013, Haivision developed the SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) protocol, designed to optimize streaming performance across unpredictable networks while reducing dependence on satellite and private networks. The company received Emmy Awards for Technology and Engineering in 2018 for its SRT protocol development and in 2022 for its IP multicast video distribution management technology. Haivision's product ecosystem encompasses high-performance encoders, on-premise and cloud services, desktop and mobile players, and set-top boxes. The company has expanded its capabilities through several acquisitions, including Video Furnace in September 2009, Lightflow Media Technologies in 2019, Teltoo in 2020, CineMassive in 2021, and Aviwest in 2022. As of December 2016, Haivision had deployed over 40,000 video systems serving more than 10 million daily viewers. The company operates with multiple delivery models, offering hardware, software (virtual machines), and cloud instances, with components available on-premise, in the cloud, or in hybrid configurations.
