Playout, quality monitoring, remote commentary, and custom workflow delivery.

"Each of these three products gives our customers ready-to-use solutions that, because they are built with Studio, are straightforward to extend. They represent the best of both worlds — build vs. buy — with the confidence that comes from Norsk's longstanding commitment to reliability." Adrian Roe, CEO — Norsk
Software-defined playout that handles the full demands of scheduling and delivering live and file-based content — whether running established linear channels, launching seasonal or event-based services, or operating high volumes of FAST, AVOD, SVOD, and enterprise channels. Proven deployment templates come pre-configured with the operational capabilities broadcasters rely on, so customers start from a complete, production-ready environment and can rapidly go live.
Norsk Playout makes every live stream instantly available for time-shifted playout through TAMS-native integration, eliminates processing overhead between pipeline stages with MXL zero-copy media transfer, and enables schedule alerting, ad break detection, and content-aware switching.
A software probe that delivers the full monitoring capability broadcasters expect from traditional hardware probes — ETR 101-290 transport stream compliance, loudness monitoring, black-frame, freeze-frame, and colour-bar detection, packet loss and decode errors, and SCTE-35 marker logging — deployable at any point in the distribution chain, on-premise or in the cloud.
An automated penalty box surfaces failing streams the moment thresholds are breached, and a rolling clip buffer lets operators jump straight to the moment a problem was raised. Norsk Probe also supports MQA (CMSD-MQA, SVTA2128), dramatically reducing monitoring load and cost across the distribution chain.
Enables commentators to call into live events by video and audio from anywhere — no specialist hardware and nothing to ship or maintain. Directors control the entire production from a web interface: multitrack audio mixing for multi-language output, native mix-minus for every commentator, built-in talkback, and picture-in-picture layouts.
Each event runs from a configurable template covering the inputs, languages, and audio routing a production needs, so an event can scale from a single commentator to a full multi-language international broadcast without engineering support.
Custom live video workflows designed, built, and supported by the same engineers who build Norsk Studio. Customers describe their sources, destinations, and requirements; Norsk builds and tests the workflow against real feeds and formats; integrates with existing playout, CDN, monitoring, and automation systems; and supports it in production.
The result is a production-ready workflow without the learning curve or build time — and because every Norsk Turnkey solution is built on Norsk Studio, it remains straightforward to extend as operations grow.
AI, quality monitoring, standards conversion, and next-generation delivery protocols.

"Norsk Reasoning represents a fundamental shift in how live production operates. AI that can observe a live stream, understand what's happening across both video and audio, and take action in real time eliminates entire categories of manual monitoring work." Adrian Roe, CEO — Norsk
A multi-modal AI system natively integrated into the Norsk pipeline that moves beyond passive analysis to autonomous action. Operators describe detection objectives in natural language; a planning model structures those into a detection specification that a faster evaluation model executes against the live stream in real time. The system processes video and audio simultaneously, maintains temporal context across the stream, and can autonomously switch camera sources, trigger recordings, fire webhooks, and update graphics — with human override always available.
Supported models include GPT-4o, Gemini, Claude, and local alternatives through a unified, vendor-neutral interface.
Native MoQ support delivers sub-second latency at CDN scale — matching WebRTC's responsiveness while supporting relay-based delivery to large audiences. Demonstrated in a joint demo with Cloudflare, showing live media delivered over Cloudflare's global MoQ relay network from a Norsk Studio workflow.
Support for Common Media Server Data – Media Quality Assessment, an emerging SVTA standard that embeds objective video quality scores into HTTP response headers as content moves through the delivery chain. Preserves quality scores from encoder to CDN to player, enabling quality-based switching decisions across the entire workflow — not just at a single monitoring point.
The MediaStore component brings Time-Addressable Media Store natively into Norsk Studio workflows. Live content becomes immediately queryable as it's captured, eliminating the traditional boundary between live production and VOD. TAMS — developed by BBC R&D and adopted by AWS, Adobe, Sky, and others — stores segmented media in cloud object storage with HTTP API access indexed by timeline position.
Support for the Media eXchange Layer, a Linux Foundation-hosted open standard for shared-memory media exchange between software applications within the same server or cluster. MXL 1.0.0 enables sub-millisecond media transfer between components — a 20× latency improvement over intra-server ST 2110 workflows — enabling tighter integration across the software-defined broadcast stack.
An early look at Norsk Playout — a scheduled playout system designed to switch seamlessly between live feeds, VoD assets, and TAMS-stored media. Human operators and the Norsk Reasoning AI layer provide parallel oversight and control, combining automation with human-in-the-loop reliability. General availability to follow later in 2026.
