What Quortex does

Quortex is a cloud-native SaaS platform for video streaming, distribution, and monetization, serving broadcasters, Pay-TV operators, sports rights holders, and content owners globally. Its portfolio comprises five integrated products: Quortex Play (patented just-in-time HLS/DASH streaming at scale to millions of concurrent viewers), Quortex Tune (SSAI-based dynamic ad insertion, blackout enforcement, and content substitution), Quortex Switch (multi-CDN management with cost optimization and seamless failover), Quortex Link (B2B point-to-multipoint distribution over SRT/Zixi/RTMP), and Quortex PowerVu (secure affiliate distribution with edge playout and local channel assembly). An "AI by Quortex" cross-portfolio add-on provides just-in-time AI plugins for content understanding, real-time processing, and operational automation.

The platform operates on public cloud infrastructure across 16 regions on five continents, with native integrations to AWS, Google Cloud, and Oracle, plus a broad partner ecosystem spanning CDN, DRM, ad server, and silicon vendors. Quortex exposes a fully documented REST API and supports self-service onboarding with free trial credits alongside a sales-led motion for customized enterprise deployments (single-tenant, bring-your-own-cloud, custom SLAs). Revenue is generated through usage-based pricing with no minimum commitment, tiered feature plan subscriptions (Starter, Professional, Standard, Enterprise), and optional volume commitments, with billing tied to input traffic, processing, and delivery.

The company was founded in 2018 by CEO Marc Baillavoine, CTO Jérôme Vieron, and Chief Software Architect Thierry Trolez, and is legally domiciled under Synamedia Holdings Limited in the United Kingdom with a contracting entity in Georgia, USA. In late 2025, Lumine Group entered an agreement to acquire Synamedia's Video Network business unit and operate it as the independent company Quortex, marking a transition from intra-portfolio product line to standalone entity.
