About us
The engineers behind Big Blue Marble Labs.
Big Blue Marble is a European media technology company built for the streaming age. We design, build and operate broadcast-grade streaming platforms, and we run the terrestrial, satellite and radio infrastructure that carries them across the DACH region.
Labs is where the same engineers work on what comes next. It exists so that the technology we are building can be seen and discussed before it becomes a product, which is why every POC on this site states the stage it has reached and what it cannot do yet.
The people behind these POCs
Labs is not a separate innovation unit. The POCs on this site are built by the same AWS-certified groups of engineers who deliver and operate our customers' production platforms.
Media infrastructure engineers
The same people who design, build and operate the delivery, encoding and headend platforms our customers run in production. Every POC here that touches ad insertion, media transport, signal protection or delivery comes from this group.
AI and media processing engineers
Engineers and applied-AI specialists who work on speech, vision and language applied to video: transcription and translation, semantic search, automatic reframing, synthetic voice and retrieval-grounded assistants.
AWS Advanced Tier Services Partner
We are one of the 20 companies in the world recognized as an AWS Media & Entertainment partner and have over a decade of experience with AWS Cloud, Edge- and Media Services.
