What DELTACAST does

DELTACAST.TV sa is a Belgian designer, developer, and manufacturer of professional live video transport and processing hardware and software, founded circa 1986 (with 30+ years of video systems expertise cited since ~1992) and headquartered in Ans, Belgium. The company sells video I/O products — primarily PCIe capture and playout cards supporting SDI (3G/6G/12G), HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI, and SMPTE ST 2110 IP interfaces — alongside the FLEX modular I/O platform that scales to up to 32 I/Os on a single PCIe slot. All products are unified by the cross-platform VideoMaster SDK (Windows, Linux, macOS, ARM64), and the portfolio includes hardware keyers, timecode cards, mezzanine compression (TICO/JPEG XS), and integration packages for NVIDIA Clara Holoscan, Unreal Engine 5, and FFMPEG.

The company operates a direct, OEM-oriented go-to-market model targeting software developers and system integrators building applications in broadcast/IP migration, live events and sports, medical AI imaging, virtual production, and industrial/professional AV. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time hardware sales (PCIe cards and FLEX modules), SDK and software licensing with multi-year technical support agreements, and bespoke custom design services for non-standard projects. Pricing is quote-based with no public list, and the company sells direct globally through its website and a technically-led sales team, supplemented by active presence at IBC, NAB, InfoComm, and ISE trade shows. Customer-facing engineering depth is a stated differentiator — sales and pre-sales support is delivered by the engineering staff.

The business is privately held with no disclosed outside investment, no parent company, and no subsidiaries; revenue, funding, and management team are not publicly disclosed in the available material.
