About
Grabyo is a fully cloud-native live video platform built for enterprises, broadcasters, and sports rights holders who need to produce, distribute, and monetize live content at scale. Unlike traditional broadcast infrastructure, Grabyo runs entirely in a browser — no hardware, no proprietary hardware installations, just a web connection and a production team. The platform's LIVE Cloud Production suite supports up to 16 HD video inputs via SRT, RTMP, RTP, HLS, MPEG-TS, and Zixi protocols. Its vision mixing engine offers drag-and-drop layout building, frame-accurate switching, AI live captioning, dynamic transitions, and custom automations. Outputs support up to 20 simultaneous streams at 60FPS/1080p across 16:9, 9:16, and 1:1 aspect ratios. Grabyo Studio allows teams to clip, edit, and publish highlight moments from live streams directly to TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X, and more — in one click. Its AI-powered vertical video engine automatically tracks the action and reframes live feeds in real time for mobile and social audiences, eliminating manual resizing. Monetization tools include integrated ads and sponsorship support, Adobe/MAM/OTT connections, and metadata passthrough. The platform is collaborative and multi-user, with API scheduling, unlimited cloud DVR, and an automated highlight engine that accelerates content workflows for sports, news, and live events.
