The independent video cloud

Run the whole live video path

Ingest, process, route, deliver, record, and analyze live video on media-server technology we have developed for more than 15 years. Run it on our infrastructure, your own, or both.

MistServer at the core. Bare-metal capacity. Open APIs. Hosted, hybrid, or fully self-hosted.

Not a resale of hyperscaler media APIs. One video stack, operated your way.

FrameWorks Demo

INITIALIZING

Adaptive playback across WASM, WebCodecs, and every protocol

Auto-negotiates transport and codec per device. Fully embeddable.

Why FrameWorks

The media layer is ours. The deployment choice is yours.

See how FrameWorks is built

FrameWorks is a complete video platform, not an API stitched across separate managed-media products.

Media-native core

MistServer, developed by our team for more than 15 years, handles ingest, protocol conversion, low-latency delivery, recording, and playback.

Operated infrastructure

Use FrameWorks as a hosted service on infrastructure we operate, including bare metal, without assembling a chain of separate cloud-media products.

Portable by design

Move between hosted, hybrid, and self-hosted deployments without changing APIs or rebuilding the product on top.

Processing on your terms

Use FrameWorks edges for SLA-backed capacity, Livepeer for low-cost capacity that is quick to scale, or your own edge with no FrameWorks processing charge.

One continuous system

Follow one stream through FrameWorks

All capabilities

The sources and destinations change. The path stays legible: bring video in, shape it, send it, keep it, and know what happened.

Move a contribution feed through cueing, processing, regional delivery, archive, and operational telemetry.

The media path starts with the signal you already have

Connect contribution equipment, browsers, upstream streams, and files. At the core of FrameWorks, MistServer handles the live signal while the platform places, authorizes, routes, and observes it from ingest through playback.

Keep the contribution path open

Push over RTMP, E-RTMP, SRT, or WHIP; pull RTSP, RIST, HLS, MPEG-TS, SRT, and Mist sources.

Preserve broadcast meaning

Carry signal metadata through the media path, including the expanding SCTE-35 and HLS input/output work.

Process where it makes sense

Use FrameWorks edges for SLA-backed processing, Livepeer for low-cost capacity that is quick to scale, or your own edge with no FrameWorks processing charge.

Grow into physical production

NDI, SDI, capture devices, PTZ control, composition, and server-side ad workflows join the same managed model as they land.

One live source, routed to every destination

Fan out to partner platforms and serve viewers from healthy, eligible edges. Routing, failover, playback policy, and delivery telemetry stay part of the same decision.

your encoderMistServerorigin nodeTwitchYouTubeKickFacebookXcustom RTMP / SRTno relay in betweenpushed from hereyour encoderMistServerorigin nodeTwitchYouTubeKickFacebookXcustom RTMP / SRTstart and stop with the stream
One ingest, every destination, pushed straight from the origin. Targets start and stop with the stream.

Native RTMP and SRT push

MistServer pushes from the origin node itself, so there is no relay hop, no added latency, and no proxy bandwidth bill.

Platform presets

Twitch, YouTube, Facebook, Kick, and X are built in. Paste a stream key, or point at any custom RTMP, RTMPS, or SRT endpoint.

Automatic lifecycle

Targets activate when the stream goes live and stop when it ends, with status, error reporting, and a per-target toggle.

Routing is observable

Live, replay, and insight stay on one timeline

Playback and recording are not separate products, and analytics is not a detached reporting layer. The same stream identity connects delivery, viewer experience, durable media, and replay behavior.

03 · Play it

Playback is part of operations

Adapt to the browser, enforce access, and return viewer evidence to the same route and edge that served the session.

One adaptive player

HLS, DASH, WebRTC, WebCodecs, WASM, and progressive playback selected per browser and stream.

Access at the boundary

Public, JWT, or webhook authorization for live streams, recordings, clips, and VOD.

Close the delivery loop

Startup, buffering, bitrate, frame drops, geography, and routing decisions share one session timeline.

04 · Keep it

The live stream becomes durable media

Move from the live buffer to seekable replay, durable chapters, clips, and VOD without creating a second workflow.

Record continuously

Keep bounded live seekback while long-running recordings finalize into replayable chapters.

Cut what already exists

Create clips from live buffers, DVR windows, or finalized media through one artifact lifecycle.

Retain with intent

Apply asset policies, freeze durable copies, and understand the storage consequence.

06 · Operate it

The controls follow the same system

People, applications, and agents operate the same tenant-scoped resources. The deployment can change without changing the product you build on top.

One control plane

Streams, assets, routing, access, analytics, and billing share the same tenant-scoped GraphQL model.

For people and agents

Use the dashboard, CLI, SDKs, or MCP. Skipper works from the same documentation and operational signals.

Your infrastructure or ours

Use managed regions, enroll your own media edges, or self-host. The application-facing model stays the same.

FAQ

The complete path, plainly answered

Short answers about the media engine, control plane, deployment boundary, and developer surface.

FrameWorks is a complete live video cloud built by the team behind MistServer. It covers ingest, protocol handling, processing, routing, delivery, recording, playback, analytics, and operations through one platform. Use our hosted infrastructure, attach your own edges, or run the full stack yourself.

FrameWorks is not a resale of a hyperscaler's managed video APIs. Our team develops the MistServer media engine at its core and operates the platform around it. This gives you one system from ingest through playback, predictable infrastructure economics, and the freedom to move between hosted, hybrid, and self-hosted deployments.

Yes. FrameWorks can run on bare metal, VMs, or Kubernetes with self-hosted ingest, playback, routing, analytics, and control-plane workflows. Current production deployments still use S3-compatible object storage and managed DNS integrations; native Ceph-backed storage and self-hosted/Anycast DNS are on the roadmap.

FrameWorks and MistServer are developed by the same team. MistServer is the media engine at the heart of FrameWorks, handling ingest, protocol translation, delivery, recording, and playback. Processing can run on FrameWorks edges with SLA-backed capacity, on Livepeer for low-cost capacity that is quick to scale, or on your own edge with no FrameWorks processing charge.

Sovereign streaming infrastructure is useful for broadcasters, community platforms, agencies, events, regulated teams, and builders who need predictable video operations, data control, or deployment freedom. It is especially valuable when a team cannot rely on a single third-party cloud video vendor for every audience, region, or compliance requirement.

AI agents can discover FrameWorks through llms.txt, skill.json, and .well-known MCP metadata, then use wallet authentication, x402 payments, MCP tools, or GraphQL to operate streams and inspect diagnostics. The same platform APIs are available to human operators and autonomous tooling.
