EEG Enterprises

What EEG Enterprises does

EEG Enterprises was a US-based broadcast video technology company, founded in 1981 and headquartered in Farmingdale, New York, that specialized in caption encoding hardware and software for the television broadcasting industry. Its core product line comprised SDI hardware caption encoders and IP virtual/cloud caption encoders that delivered captions across SDI, IP, RTMP, and 4K formats and were described as the broadcast industry's most trusted encoder line. The company operated at a small scale (11–50 employees) and served television broadcasters as its primary customer segment, with the core functional problem being accurate, reliable caption delivery for live broadcasts.

In May 2021, EEG Enterprises was acquired by AI-Media, a global captioning and translation technology vendor, and has since operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary/brand within AI-Media's portfolio. Following the acquisition, EEG's encoder technology was integrated into AI-Media's broader product suite, which is structured around two core platforms — the LEXI AI-Powered Captioning Tool Kit (live ASR captions, recorded multilingual captions, translation, voice translation, generative AI, audio description, on-premises, and disaster recovery modules) and the iCap Cloud Network (described as the largest global captioning and subtitle delivery network). The legacy EEG hardware encoder line continues as the Caption Delivery product line (now also sold as new LEXI Encoders), and the combined offering is distributed through AI-Media's global direct sales and channel network across six verticals: broadcast & media, sports events & venues, corporate, events, government, and education.

EEG Enterprises' revenue model is not separately disclosed post-acquisition. Historically, the company sold caption encoders and related hardware/software directly to broadcasters; under AI-Media, that revenue stream is bundled into a broader platform offering that monetizes hardware encoders, cloud-based LEXI AI captioning/translation services, the iCap network, display solutions (LEXI Viewer, Ai-Live), and tiered support contracts. Specific pricing, contract structures, and revenue attribution to the EEG brand are not publicly disclosed. The parent AI-Media is publicly listed (Investors center exists), but EEG does not report as a standalone segment, and no customer logos, ARR figures, or pricing details are available in the source material.
